Should both partner contribute on dates or should the man cover everything g till they get married?

We've been together for a while. He has a very hard time opening up, emotionally. I've told him I love him, but he hasn't been able to say it back. I feel like his "you are a sweetheart" response to something I've said that's a little too "heavy" in the love-emotion-area is him basically telling me he doesn't feel the same way and never will, and that he wants me to shut up. I'm really just not getting a very positive vibe from his statement at all, but I'm wondering if maybe I'm wrong? Maybe "you are a sweetheart" is actually a good thing?

I’m used to dealing with stupid people in customer service but it doesn’t happen often & has been for the past week. Last week, I went to an ice cream shop, order at drive through & when the guy hands me my cup he says “we usually pile on the toppings but this ice cream had a lot of toppings”. I just look at him & grab it, he says have a good day and I drive off. It just irked me it’s like mind your business. Second one was this past week at a pollo tropical drive through, order at speaker then go to window & ask him for a sauce. He looks at me & goes “you’re making me do more work”. And I said “excuse me?” I knew I heard right but he was kind of mumbling then he repeats it again & says “ that’s making me do more work no I’m just kidding”. And I said “excuse that’s very rude remember I’m a customer I’m not your friend”. And he apologizes, I grabbed the food from him, make sure it looks right & then he hands the sauce. I then say “I’m going to your manager” & drive off. Last one was Friday at a GameStop, I’ve dealt with this specific guy before & he was pretty accommodating the last time but Friday he irked me. I call in & ask if a new game that released that day was in stock. He says there’s plenty in stock & I go to pick it up. He asked if I pre ordered and said no I called in right before coming in to see if there was any. He goes on about how he’s shocked there’s so many copies in stock for the console I was asking for. Asked if I wanted to pre order future games, said no & he suggested pre ordering to ensure I will get a new game on release day. I said I called in anyway to see if you all had it before coming in & wasting my time he said pre ordering would save me having to call in. I reiterated I’m familiar with the pre order process.

Only wants you to accept it and be happy about it

My boyfriend makes more money than me but we both agreed that it should be 50/50 but if we were to move in together how would that work if one of us makes more than the other?

also should the partner that makes more pay for almost everything or should it still be 50/50?

I’ve been talking exclusively to a guy for 8 years now. We know everything about each other but have primarily been texting, calling and FaceTiming for intimacy. We have only met a few times in person during these years and have never slept together physically even though we do things virtually due to our shared belief in no pre-marital sex. Someone recently told me this relationship is not real and that this is more like a video game so I wanted your opinion. How real do you feel virtual relationships are and does the fact that we didn’t consummate or have the majority of this happen in person invalidate what we had?
