She went on a first date and the thing that stood out the most as a positive is that he was willing to spend money on her?
Fuck that. Youre not hyping up the man, you’re hyping up his wallet (on contributing to the ongoing commodification and transactional nature of relationships)
Wow, /relationship_advice much? They should get divorced, lawyer up and hit the gym.
I’m not installing twiXter to read the whole story. But let’s flip this - what if he paid with the expectation to get laid?
Still jumping on the “after his wallet” bandwagon?
Or, maybe, try this on for size: They’re both decent people, he surprise paid for the books as a very kind gesture without any expectations on either of their parts. And it would be a surprise to have someone do that, so maybe she makes a surprised comment about it?
