When she says she'd feel unsafe if a man didn't pay on the first date, that is such manipulative language.
Feel free to say any of the following:
1) I did not feel valued
2) I did not feel like he was into me
3) I felt like he was cheap
4) I did not feel like he could provide for me
5) I did not feel like he cared to provide for me
6) I felt like he was uninterested
These statements allow for a real conversation.
Unsafe is a word reserved for men who follow you around an empty parking lot at 1 AM.
Unsafe is a word you use on men who force themselves into your apartment.
Unsafe is a word you use on men who physically or emotionally abuse you.
Unsafe is a word you use on men who have inappropriate relations with your teenage daughter.
Unsafe is NOT a word you use on a man who did not cover the $12.95 for your panini.
To use that word to describe a man who did not pay for your chicken parm panini comes off so manipulatively, as if it's designed to shame men into paying for meals so as to avoid the stigma of the label "person who makes women feel unsafe." Men do not want to be considered unsafe, because there is a genuine stigma around being considered unsafe(and often rightfully so). That's such a disappointing thing to hear someone say - particularly someone at this level of expertise & education in the field of relationships.
I typically do pay on the first date, and have in the relationships I had that were good. In these cases I usually made more money than the person I was going out with so it seemed like a courtesy.
Words have meaning! Do not use them this carelessly.

In 2010 The Guardian UK newspaper ran a story about Lori. She was, back then, a 43 year old single mother who, in her own words, "desperately wants to marry." In fact she had desperately wanted to marry for the previous 13 years. She is now 56. And unmarried. And she is giving young women relationship advice. LET THAT SINK IN.

Married 38 years to my best friend. The last decade I was his caregiver. He died from a botched operation on Jan. 3, 2024. There were many people to talk to, but none better than my husband, a PhD in Clinical Psychology. He always said health is the first wealth and that includes mental health. Alone now, but fulfilled. Many things to sort out and create a beautiful life again.

So... why exactly are young men expected to pay on a first date? She literally explained that it's irrational and that if she were to try to explain it rationally she would talk herself out of it.
Therefore it's a nonsensical expectation that shouldn't still exist, but still does. Thanks to women like her that still propogate it without even believing in it because, well, it benefits them. Thanks for your honestly, at the least.

I had a boyfriend that told me that he felt useless since I was too independent. Could pay my bills, could talk get several budgets and fix my car etcā¦. it made me realize that even if I can do something I should also accept generosity / ask for help. It was challenging for me initially but now I feel its a way of allowing others to show love and for me to accept vulnerability as well.

Before I was a stay at home mother and had a career my partner would never let me pay for any meals or main bills etc so instead Iād surprise him with booking us a holiday or gifts.
Relationships arenāt transactional but if youāre both making money then it should bring you joy to share that by being generous with one another where possible.
He now is our source of money and I return the favour by keeping a lovely home for him to come back to and caring for our babies.
These āgender rolesā feel completely natural to us and weāre very happy with what each of us bring to the relationship.

iāve noticed that people who prioritize chemistry and butterflies while dating are the least successful in landing long-term partners. as somebody who used to care more about āchemistryā when i was younger i realized after several failures that what people call chemistry tends to be reactivation of usually toxic bonding patterns we learned early in life. before i met my husband i decided to change the approach and do the exact opposite and started dating for personality, values and interests. i met my husband shortly after that. maybe i just got lucky, but i think that following same steps and expecting different results is madness. prioritizing things that actually matter for a long-term relationship helped me stayed congruent and reach my goal of finding a great partner.

My husband has a strong need to be the provider, the protector and he takes his role very seriously. I do work and my income contributes to our household but I'd never try to take the role he feels so strongly about away by power struggles. He's the head of the family and until he needs me to step in, I respect that part of him. He has his role and I have mine. Just remember to communicate, be good listeners, try to LIVE SIMPLY and enjoy the time you have together because life(time) goes by too fast.

My son is 39 next month. He has had his heart broken terribly twice. The first one he was with for 5 years, they were engaged. Turned out she was 14 years older than he, was divorced with two children that were in the custody of the father. We were all in shock. She really looked 28, he was 21 when they met. It was really hard on him, but the whole family was in shock. She was like 40, almost felt like she was a pedophile. The. Second one got pregnant, now he was 32. He was raised right, he got her a diamond and arranged a nice meal, she stood him up. Her mother injected herself into the picture and was in the delivery room, he said he felt pushed away.
After three months of him spending the weekends with the baby and the Mom and her two sons from a previous relationship, she told him that he was not the father. Now, he had bonded with the baby and developed feelings for the whole family, again shock and heart break.
I pray that he finds someone who will really love him
He is tall and handsome with his own electric company. He owns his home. He has a lot to offer. šš

I met my husband AT A BAR. Albeit, it was a nice bar. He and I both were not drinkers and came with a friend. He had one if his best friends with him and I had one of mine. The only space available to sit was next to them. We didnāt really talkā¦ until we did. We ended up talking until the bar closed! š¤£ we both thought each one was lying about not drinkingā¦ to this day we laugh about it. Then we went on a date a few days laterā¦ we went on a hike and then to the beach. It was SO fun. We are total opposites, but laughed a lot together, love dogs, same musical foundations. He is 12 years older than me and I met him at 28. We have been together for almost ten years and have a son. I never wanted to marry and have kids and now that Iām here, I wouldnāt change it for the world! Sometimes we think we know whatās best for usā¦but the universe will unfold your path if you trust. Life is beautiful and I love my husband infinitely. He is my soulmate and the absolute best. I wish this love for everyone, itās a dream!
