How would you feel if your partner bought food for someone of the opposite sex?

[Pink2000]

I personally would be pissed... if she’s homeless then that’s different.

[MissDawn7961]

I would ask him if he new the girl he was buying the food for and if he says no then we both go on with our date ! I would not mind it if I could tell that the girl was poor and hungry too for that would show me that he is a kind and compassionate man : ) ! However if he tells me that they were in a relationship once , then I would end it with him for his buying her the food would mean that he still has feelings for her and he needs to end it with her for good before we can start our own relationship ! thanks

[Leibesgeister]

If they're friends, it's not really a problem. I've felt a bit threatened by that in the past, but when I think about MY situation, I've paid for my male friends' food before and didn't mean anything romantic by it. All guys have different intentions.

[Jjpayne]

It depends on the situation. If it's a friend from school or college it's not the end of the world and even safer if she's already married, and what about family? Those are just a couple of different options but a stranger girl... A much greyer area... I'd say if she was homeless and needed to eat or stranded and needed money for food, other than that.. I agree that it's a little risky

[jamesgoldman]

Depends on the context... I've done it in business and if my partner didn't like it then they are gone... I've been in business 14 years and odds are she hasn't been around that many months

[SydneySentinel]

Hmmm not sure. I'd be weird about it for sure.

[CHARismatic110]

Definitely depends on the situation. Like of he bought a coworker lunch one day because she forgot her wallet then that's cool. But if he's constantly buying her lunch then I'm gonna think they're always having lunch together and then I'm gonna start assuming things. Same if it were reversed and someone was always buying the guy food. That would def raise a red flag

[DizzyDesii]

Women used to buy my ex food all the time when he went in their store and he called me crazy for eventually calling him out on constantly accepting it. Like they clearly liked him and he was feeding into the bullshit. Literally!!

[MrOooFancy]

Did he cheat?

[DizzyDesii]

@MrOooFancy he started to fall for his coworker in my opinion

[Blublub]

That’s a tough one there’s a fine line between being too controlling and being too passive. I definitely wouldn’t like it

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, if i had a Girlfriend , who bought another Man a meal
i would pissed off about it , i believe this is wrong
i would hope the Man be a homeless person :/

[Maellyiod]

Its pure kindness... why would you be mad? If its a good friend of his/her or family. It's not like she/he was cheating in any way. That's just being paranoid and Jealous for no reason.

[Pink2000]

It’s different if it’s family

[Maellyiod]

But still? If its friends? If it was, say, your friend runs out of cash, so he pays for her. Whats up with that? If he never spoke to her before and he does that? You gon be mad for his kindness?

[Pink2000]

He’s not allowed to have female friends

[Maellyiod]

Welp, 1) you won't like me for this. 2) That'll be my last reply to this: then its just being a control freak, whatever you wanna call it. Buying food to the opposite gender is totally fine. I do it 24/7. No one should be judged or bashed for that.

[Pink2000]

He doesn’t want female friends and he’s perfectly fine with it. He knows how I feel and I have my reasons.

[BButterfly]

It starts with food, conversation, gifts or any kind of action then it turns to something else slowly

[Poppymarie]

I mean if it’s for a friend and only happens once or twice I’d be surprised but I wouldn’t make a huge deal of it, especially if she like forgot her purse or something. If he makes a habit of it though, I’d definitely start to get annoyed.

[VisibleMan]

Better be an old neighbor or someone in pain or suffered or lost or some excuse and if there is no excuse I better be invited to tag along

[Darcia]

It’s a nice gesture. It’s not considered cheating unless your that chick who thinks everything is cheating.

[Jaximus-Lion]

Not a problem. There is some other serious problems out there than my partner buying food for another guy.

[MrOooFancy]

It really depends on the context. Unless they're like sitting down at a restaurant I wouldn't care. Some women are so paranoid and insecure about this stuff, but will still flirt with strangers to get free drinks on their girls night out 🙄

[-Asca-]

Unless it makes me gay to buy food for someone of my own sex it's not cheating if it's the opposite sex. Buying food for people is totally normal and just happens sometimes, no need to freak out over anything.

[Rangers]

I'd be suspicious and want to talk to them about it and start by saying this

[Liam_Hayden]

Wouldn't care. I have female friends that I've had since I was 4 and 5 years old. If I buy food for them and the girl I'm seeing "gets pissed" she will be gone. I am no one's puppet.

[Anpu23]

I've taken friends out. Male and female, I don't see the big deal.

[Gatman34]

Any man who buys women food is a fool that’s just wasting money. Women can buy their own food

[MissDawn7961]

Gatman34 - should know what he is talking about here for he is the top of f--l's

[ultimega]

If it almost sounds like a date then yeah I'd feel weird... but there's nothing wrong with being kind to someone

[ariadneR]

Depends. Its it's a coworker and they're short on money no problem.

[Navarro26]

Depends on her situation, If I was in the position to help someone who needed it I would pay for the girls food and my girlfriend would understand.
