Be a Lady...
by: CC

I suppose you are on this blog because you are or want to be considered a lady, so my old-fashioned advice would be to never pay for a date unless you plan to dump him. I would only pick up the tab for a guy that I had already figured out wasn't Mr. Right because I didn't want to accept his next offer.

Courting is what dating is all about. You are setting a precedent for your future roles in marriage.

After the single, career woman rat-race, I am now the homemaker and lady-of-the-house while my husband pays for everything. Old-fashioned, but I love it! I feel like a lady who admires him, and he feels like a man who is needed.

Nothing is stopping you from buying or making him a gift, a token of your affection. You could also cook him a nice meal or bake him some cookies sometime.

If you enjoy his company, but sense that money is tight, you could gently suggest an inexpensive (or free) activity now and then. Picnics, free concerts, moonlight walks on a beach--be creative!

Good luck!
