[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a guy who makes $$$ who gets upset when the woman does not offer to pay. For the first few dates, fine. After a handful, he starts getting bothered.

Does it matter if the guy makes 50k or 500k?

Guy I’m thinking of probably makes $500-800k per year.

Dh and I were both in grad school when we started dating. Dh paid for most dates. I know I would pick up take out or buy groceries. I’m not sure how I would handle dating a guy who I knew made a lot who would not want to pay for me. But if he was broke or made equal or less than me, I would of course not expect him to pay for everything.[/quote]

To me, the biggest red flag in this story is that your DH was taking you in dates in grad school that involved paying, and he was paying for two. Where was the money coming from? Loans? His parents? Neither of those are good answers for someone you are screening for marriage material. Every dollar he’s paying to take you in dates in grad school is likely a dollar of debt the two of you will have to pay off together later in life. Not sexy. [/quote]
