Search Results: who pays for the date

I know that times have changed regarding dating customs. Sometimes, some women will ask men out. My question is these days who pays for the first date? Has this changed?

So I am in an exklusive dating with a guy who is 30 and I am 22. We ve been dating since October 2024.

I feel like there are some issues between us and also there are some problems on my part that I feel like may cause this relationship to end.

A month ago, I asked how he feels about me and if we could be girlfriend and boyfriend, but he said he is not read.

He says he likes me, and we do go on some dates every time we meet. But I feel like he is mostly interested in sex. Why do things that are done in a relationship but not want to have a relationship? Is it commitment issues or he just doesn't love me?

by the way we live in different cities so we visit each other. Like taking turns.

I want to love and to be loved deeply, but I feel like he does not love me and my feeling for him are decreasing, maybe because I am dissapointed. And for me, feelings is what makes me continue a relationship, which mean it's more important for me than sex.

I feel so insecure because of a lot of things

- that he does not show enough care. For example when he talks about his problems, I pay attention, care for him and solve them together. But when I talk about my problems, he just say it's gonna be alright and good night. No more comfort/care or whatever.

- he forgot my birthday

- I feel like he just is dating me as a second option just because other girls have not chosen him

- that my university grades are not so great right now and my family use me now and then.

- a lot of things has happened lately that makes me question myself, my relationship and my family. I see negativity more that positivity. I don't know if I am starting to become depressed.

I am a bit naive I guess.

I am thinking if I should break up with him because I don't feel loved the way I want or if I just should wait and see how it goes first and then decide.

I am also tired of dating and relationship that waste my time and feelings. I am tired of being used just for being kind. People treat me as an idiot and naive.

So I'm deciding between Bali or Korea for next year spring break 2025

So for the Bali trip, it's for a sociology class that would be for two weeks (March 13-March 30, 2025). We'll be living with a host family like we're the locals. For the most part, I'm told we'll be going to temples, do prayer rituals, help out with the local community, learn more about their economics (tourism). I'm also told they have restrictive diet mainly consisting of vegetables & fruits.

The total cost of this Bali trip is $2,000 (accommodations, meal plans, & main class activities will paid for within the $2,000 price). I would need to pay for the flight ticket by next month (Dec.) but they'll reimburse me. The class also gets a grant that will help pay for the trip too ($500 for undergrad & $1,000 for graduate), the remaining balance for trip should be paid in cash two weeks prior the Bali trip.

While Korea trip, it's just for fun. I will pay out of pocket for it of course and I was thinking of going with my sister. I was thinking of flight dates around March 17-March 22, 2025 since that's my spring break next semester. I was looking up on Jeju air and I had estimated around $323 or $343 sum round trip for one week in March (around those dates listed above earlier). I had friends who've been to Korea before told me that I can just live off the convenience stores for food since they're so cheap. I was told to check out their Airbnb too since they would be cheaper to stay at. And a lot of cool places to check out there too such as the Gyeongbokgung palace, starfield library, cool & unique cafes, etc.

I've never been to either Bail or Korea. However, my heart is torn on which place to go for next year spring break 2025. Please help me decide lol. For Bali trip, I have to use all of my next paycheck plus some of my savings while for Korea trip, I can pay the roundtrip now with half of my next paycheck & just save up some money for accommodations, food, etc. next year.

I’ve been on a few dates with this guy, and while he’s nice and pays for everything, I’ve noticed he tends to walk behind me and seems hesitant when we go places. For example, when we enter a restaurant or coffee shop, he walks behind me rather than taking the lead, and he doesn’t open doors or guide me where to sit. I like someone who’s a bit more confident in these situations because it makes me feel cared and safe. Am I overthinking this, should I talk to this with him or should I look for someone else?
