well he makes minimum wage and I make just about double minimum wage so if I want to see him then its either I pay 25 dollars to make the trip to see him or I spend about 10 dollars (5 in my gas picking him up from the ferry and 5 on his ferry pass) or not see him at all. Also i dont like sitting at home all the time so I either pay to do things and see him or not see him at all. :-(

I don't get you white folk sometimes. It's really not a complicated matter ya know... it's a gift... you be gracious and accept it... right? What do I know... just a silly foreigner. If my parents denied something I gave them, no matter how silly or crappy... I'd be a bit ticked off.
Anyway... yeah... you're too good to your bf Nat. Speaking as a man and representin'... I'd NEVER EVER let any girl, let alone my girl pay my way... no matter how broke I am... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

I can understand to a degree that feeling, but at the same time, I would find it a hard time to tell the person i'm with that they can't show me the same gratitude of treating me to a nice evening in the way that i'd wish to show them... -------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06

It's always nice to do something for your significant other but do it out of goodness and not of expectation. I personally prefer to do a majority of the grunt work, as I would expect from most guys who are dating those women who deserve it... but no man/woman should ever expect that or do nothing of equal value in return... In other words... Be the first to volunteer, but be gracious (allude to my previous comments on graciousness when recieving) when help is offered... a gift persay.

It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

me and my bf do the whole half and half thing... Makes things a lot easier i think
 That or we take turns paying for each other... we tend to keep things pretty equal between us. --------------------  2003 Nissan Murano SE |
