you haven't said why he doesn't pay attention to you.  It's for a reason.  It would help to know why you think he doesn't.  Do something to get his attention.  Get a cute make over.  Wear some shiny red pumps get your hair fixed and stand in front of your man naked.  Put on some cute underwear.  Masterbate on the couch next to him while he is watching television. Go down on him while he is sleeping.

Selling what?!? Anyhow he's working and not having fun. Respect the fact that he's earning money. Would you rather date someone who needs to borrow money? Just accept it but make sure there is a couple times a week that is just for the 2 of you. Tell him how you feel and you'd appreciate if he set aside uninterupted times for you. Good luck

He is just jealous.  You are actually working, not just being given money by your parents.  Your getting real working experience making what is pretty normal pay.  Tell him to either be happy for you or to get lost.

Hell no!  LOL!  I know, I know... some women are into that, but it ain't me.  Dating is an interview for marriage imo, and if he can't support me on a little thing like that... why would I expect him to be financially stable on anything else?  Now, later on in the relationship... after you've been together say, at least 6 months... then I could see helping a dude out if he needs it.  I've given my man $20 here and there for gas when he was having a rough time.  But in general, he knows how I feel about those things.  Luckily for me though, he feels the same way... has pride about providing for "his woman" or whatever.  heh.\n\nP.S. Why are you asking this?  Is it out of your own concern, or is it because he *refuses* to pay more than 50%?  Cause I think that makes a big difference in how it should be addressed...

I see nothing wrong in making him work to get you back.  Make it take as long as you can without pushing him too far.  If he bought you a cell phone with a 2 year contract  I would think it would be his responsibilty to pay for it.  It depends on who's name the contract is in.  Morally you are obligated to pay for it if you break up or return the phone to him.

I am old fashion...He pays for the date, always.  I refuse to accept his role in the relationship.  I think the problem with most men is that we as working, independent women feel the need to display our equality.  I don't.  I am equal but you will open my door.  I am equal, but you will pay for the date.  I am equal but if you see me carrying heavy bags or see something in my house that needs repair, you will offer your services.  And in return, I cook my butt off, never say no and make each intimate moment an adventure.  Also, leave that tired clown alone, he's not a real man and will never make you happy.

your boyfriend feels threatened and i would be too if my bf got gifts from other girls put yourself in his shoes..I'm sure you would be a little jealous or concerned. if you love him you wont talk those gifts relationships need compromise and in the end those gifts don't matter you don't want to hurt your bf by thinking you might do something. just tell the customers that you don't feel right accepting them but thanks anyways.

Sounds like he's getting the best of both worlds. He gets to keep you (at a distance, with NO strings attached), and he also gets to do whatever else he wants. I think you are being taken advantage of. What you decide to do about it is your deal. Good luck.

I'll have barely been with my girlfriend 2 months when Christmas rolls around, so I can speak from experience here.  Even if he has a lot of money, $250 is too much to spend this early in a relationship.  Considering that your birthday is close to the same time, the $100 amount that others have suggested would be appropriate.  Personally, I don't think he's obligated to get your parents anything unless the two of you have spent a lot of time with them and he's gotten to know them pretty well.  I commend your integrity for asking this question.  It's obvious you care a great deal about him to try to look out for him like this.

You are right and I totally agree with you. Maybe you can tell him exactly whats on your mind. Tell him that you pay your bills and he shouldn't be down playing the hard work you have been doing for you to afford nice things. He should be proud of you and letting people know he is with a real woman instead of making it sound like you are materialistic and distorting the fact. On the other hand he is probably little jealous too and he doesn't want you to get all that attention so when people compliment you, he wants to sabotage it a little. Just talk to him and make him understand that its not really fair. Good luck!

Your bf should ask then

I often feel its unfair to the male populous for us to hold onto the old way of a man ALWAYS paying for a meal. She may feel the same. \n\nIts not about what she should do, but what is fair. True equality means being treated equal, so you two pay seperatly. You offer which is nice and she offers too, but in the end I think you are on the right track. She may be a raging feminist and this is one of the ways she shows off her independence as a woman. \n\nBottom line. You aren't a couple so don't sweat the fact that she's paying her way. Enjoy that she isn't using you for your money, and that she actually enjoys your company.
