[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A man I started dating would text me tickets prices for a show we consider. Casually, like “tickets chat $X and $Y for drinks, so give it a thought”.   First, I would split but not that early in a relationship as we are not exclusive. I see him active on OLD and so I am. Second, it’s a turn off for me romantically as I’m at point of my career and life where this price is very low and not worthy discussing. I just pay when I invite my girlfriends. I probably make more than him, but he’s high level in his career as well and certainly has better pension and medical insurance. I work longer hours.

Sexual attraction is there, he’s very handsome. But  Im not feeling romantic about him, it’s just a mental turn off that doesn’t allow relationship to grow. [b]Shall I offer him to be a FWB[/b], and both keep looking ? Explain why or just say I’m not feeling that ? [/quote]

Why on earth would you have sex with a cheap-o who you don’t even like? You may make a lot of money but your self-worth seems to be in the dumps.[/quote]

NP and that jumped out at me too -- OP writing, "Shall I offer him to be a FWB" because, I guess?, "sexual attraction is there," she says. OP, heed the PP above. Why have sex with this guy? The mere existence of attraction doesn't mean you need to act on it, and the idea of making an "offer" is as transactional-sounding as his own nickel-and-diming over tickets. Not very natural-sounding. Time you spend with him for sex is time you could instead spend on finding actual dates with men who know HOW to date and how to communicate better. Are you really so eager for sex for sex's sake that you'd just tell him, "I don't want to date your cheap self but yeah, I'll get in bed with you, no strings"? Why be even that level of involved with him? Just move on. [/quote]
