My guy wants to pay for everything

I have the perfect solution.

Say you guys go out often such as eating out, to the movies, to amusement parks, etc. and he always likes to pick up the tab. He insists and usually doesn't take no for an answer.

Well then whenever he comes to your house, you can let him eat at your house....Perhaps cook him dinner and rent some movies. That way, you can feel like you are contributing something as well.

Or when you guys go out, offer to take your car and do the driving so that way at least you are paying for the gas.

I don't see what the problem is. I would offer to pay sometimes. But, if he says he will take care of it I would not insist on paying.

Are you a guy? Or are you a wealthy woman? I find its hard even getting guy friends not to pay.

PP here. I don't push the issue of paying. I think in life, sometimes its more graceful and appreciative to accept when people do things for you without feeling like you need to immediately reciprocate. I know that I find it frustrating when I try to do something for someone and they feel like they owe me.

I think the offer to cook is totally reasonable and your guy would probably appreciate the gesture.
