My boyfriend wants to take me out but he complains he’s broke?

Anonymous
I’m in a LDR but we see each other every month when he comes home.

He paid for our first date but on the second date although he picked me up and dropped me home, he went to a very cheap place for food and let me pay for my dessert. I didn’t think much of it because well it’s just food.

On our third date, he didn’t pick me up or drop me home.

As we’re approaching our next date, he wanted to take me to a winter festival and I was very excited. After I told him we have to book it he said he doesn’t want to go anymore. Today he asked me to plan our date but not pick anywhere expensive.

I don’t care about money but it’s the thought that counts. And I’m Middle Eastern so in our culture the guy pays. I’ve never asked him for anything nor have I ever asked to go anywhere fancy. We hardly see each other and for him to say that… I feel disappointed.

What do you think?

Guys I’m breaking up with him. No need to discuss this further. There’s just been too many red flags.
