This in a nutshell.

So sorry OP.

Ding! Ding!

Also explain his willingness to make the trip. And gas money for cash gas rather than use a CC that would show where he got the gas.

The one time you went to see him, OP, did you meet somewhere or go to his house?

That would be it for me.


I'm a man and a teacher so I obviously have to watch what I spend but I can't imagine doing this. Wow.


Guy here, and yeah, this is ridiculous. What a tool! This is a guy you are going to laugh about later, after you break up with him.

Same here… I read this about busted out laughing. I lived in the Bay Area and dated a girl that lived in Sacramento. I paid for everything and asking for gas money never crossed my mind. I second the notion, a tool!

This is not rude of me. I was not aware of our distance when we first connected. Once I found out I told him I’ve enjoyed talking with him but don’t think we should date because that level of distance was prohibitive to me. He volunteered to always be the driver and said it was not an issue. I offer to meet in the middle sometimes but he usually declines.

Red Pillers sometimes make a game of trying to date as cheaply as possible/by getting women to pay for them. I’d worry for sure.

Well, there is usually more to a person than their spending habits. He may earn more but could be frugal, in debt, saving for a house or helping family etc. For all we know, he is posting on another forum about his cheap girlfriend who doesn't pay for gas or food while he is commuting three hours per trip to see her. How much do you spend on him?


I always cook nice meals for him when he comes to visit, as a way to show I appreciate and reciprocate his effort.

Are you sure he’s not married? That could explain not being able to drop a lot of money without being caught.
