I've been dating a woman that I've met at an online dating site.
I've taken her out to a nice restaurant five times, and we've had a nice time. I pay for everything.
She only wants a casual relationship at first and then progress from there, and I'm fine with that.
The only thing she contributes is showing up for the date.
When do you think the other person should start reciprocating?
It seems you are the one most worried about always
paying...whereas she appears less worried
on that point.
So, perhaps she feels she has already reciprocated,
even if all she does is show up...guess she
doesn't talk or laugh or enjoy much if you
call that contributing nothing.
She may be feeling, you have to eat anyway why not
have someone to share that with? Or she may be
testing you for the generosity gene, I bet
your face already shows you lack it ;-)
People have their own version of what constitutes
reciprocity, you best move on if you want
someone to always go halvsies, they are a small
pool of probably desperate diners ;-)
Now man up and pay for the dang date you asked for.
I believe this is your fourth or fifth made-up dating story posted in the forums.

Yep! And the narrative is pretty much the same on all the various threads.

You should be asking the Woman you are dating questions that Concern you most. You are the Man in a relationship with her.

yup gotta agree with this
At this stage in my life, I don't date anymore. If I go out with someone, I'll pay for myself.
