[QUOTE="klmno, post: 287810, member: 3699"] I like what you said, MM! Now- a questions about something I've never known a good way to deal with: If a man is paying for dates I find it hard to view him as "just a friend". But, if I suggest that we go dutch or just be friends, men take that like you aren't interested and both parties are going to "keep lookiing". But, as a woman, there is a feeling that if two people are dating and one is always (or usually) picking up the tab, this is not just friends and it's moving toward something more romantic, or expectations or something. I'm interested in knowing what others have said to gents they meet to deal with this. Is it enough to tell them that you want to take this slow? I don't remember how I handled this when I was younger and dated a lot more, but I have a feeling that people around 50 should handle this differently than people in their 20's and 30's. I don't want him to end up feeling used or anything. [/QUOTE]
