A guy friend seems to spend a large amount of money of me despite my dislike of this, how can I stop him?

[Anonymous]

Hi, So I have a guy in my life who spends a ludicrous amount of money on me even though I've told him not to. We did go on a few dates a few years ago but it ended quite quickly (due to the money thing and timing for me) so nothing really happened between us. It became pretty awkward but recently we've reconnected and the conversations seem decent. However, as of this week, in particular international womans day I were sent flowers by some other guys in my life in which I posted on social media. I'm not sure if the guy in question felt threatened (no need to at all!) or what but he bank transferred me £100. His reasoning being, it was international womans day (I did transfer this money back). Its not that I don't appreciate the gifts, it's the sheer amount he's spending when we're not even dating. I'd rather he would save this money or put it to better use. It also makes me feel as if I owe him and I am not keen on this pressure:( I just much prefer small gifts or days out (as this guy knows by now). But, me and this guy get on really well and conversations have been good, it's just the money thing that puts me off. I just wish I could convince him that he should not feel the need to spend such a large amount! I'm just unsure on what else to say to him and above all else I want to at least remain friends. Any opinions are greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!:)

Run. I had a girl do this with me in high school. I had a girlfriend, but she would wear no panties with me, or walk out of the bathroom naked, or try to remove my pants.

later, after my girl broke up with me, she got me drunk (big deal in high school), then demanded I sleep with her. I refused, and she told everyone I raped her. Luckily, she is a big woman who is clearly not my type (and others saw her come on to me), but it sucked. No one wants to be accused of rape.

Stay away from this guy. He is trouble.

It's a real shame that his spending too much on you is what is costing his chances of you and he being able to date.
I can see it just by reading a few paragraphs, pity he can't.

Have you ever asked him WHY he goes over the top? (Even though a decent bunch of flowers these days won't cost much less than a ton)

Just remind him from time to time. Hell stop doing it eventually.

He seems like a weirdo, but so do your other friends who celebrated national women’s day lmao. Find a less cringe social circle and things will brighten up.

Sounds like you just love all the non-boyfriend attention, until you don't.

Just tell him to stop or don't associate with him anymore. Nobody gives you anything without expecting something in return.

[TommyMountainFigure]

You cannot assume that just because YOU would expect something in return, that others would too!

[spartan55]

Everyone does dude. Whether you want to admit it or not.

@spartan55 It's sad that you really believe that.
