JD money is just that, money. Why hoard it? If you think in those terms this young... my goodness. Do you feel guilty everytime you thought outside the bun and blew five dollars on yourself?

I see what you're saying, but try to remember your dinner dates are an opportunity to get to know someone and..... can you put a price on that?

Think of those MasterCard commercials...

$50 dinner with wonderful woman.
$10 flowers for said woman
Second date= Priceless

The point is not what you spend, it is the thought and atmosphere. I know if I buy dinner for anyone, I never think of it in those terms. I remember the memory with it, not how much less I have afterwards.

Lily is spot on.. Go find some quiet corner to sit in...

Get to know yourself. Grow up. It's much easier at your age then at mine!
I wish I could have done that when I was your age. I couldn't. I was in 2 relationships back to back that consumed from age 15 to age 36... Then I sat in my corner for two years.

Yeah, don't sweat it. That's the worst thing you can do. Take care of yourself and let things come to you.

simple formula
Money+how much I dig her= cash flow spent

Look, honestly...She was worth it until she pulled the **** she did after last Saturday. I would have gladly paid for it...

I'm saying if she treats people like that, then she isn't/wasn't worth it.

If she blows you off, wouldn't it be worth it?laugh laugh


Wouldn't it be just cheaper for a hooker?

Are you dating for sex. If the answer is yes, then sure. A hooker would be cheaper.

However, then the commercial might play out like this:
$100= Night with hot hooker
$150= ER bill for strange bumpy burning rash and discharge
$35= Antibiotics and cream
Genital Warts and Herpes= PRICELESS

Is that what we are talking about? You gettin some?

If that is the case..What do you care if they are sane or insane? Why do you act like an injured puppy over not getting laid?
Is this just a bruised ego we are witnessing?

I'd hate to see you when something really bad happens! With this as a benchmark.. We'd have to cut your swinging body away from the beam!

lol...

Who's to say this girl wasn't infected? And who's to say all the other girls aren't infected, either?

Look, I don't care about this ***** who blew me off anymore. I'm glad it didn't go through now. I was disappointed at first because I didn't know what I did wrong. Now that I know I really didn't do anything seriously wrong, I can move on.

I think if she was going to school I was going to, it'd be a lot different situation...

I think you're missing the larger picture here we are all saying in so many different ways.

When you meet a person you connect with, there is no second guessing or worrying about all this minutia, as there are no "games".

If you have questions, you lay them out with the other person and resolve it.

I understand that... and the whole time with this girl I was second guessing what was going on...

I just think different circumstances would have made this a little different outcome.

Yes, and I'm not saying that you have to spend alot of money, some of the best dates I have ever had cost next to nothing, but the fact that you complain about it says more than the fact that you don't have the money to spend.

I have the money to spend if the person is courteous... This person was not.

Ding Ding Ding!!! You go girl. :heart: The attitude about money is never about money. It's a lot like love, if you think about it.
If you have it you give it, share it, spread, it, make it multiply.... with good intentions and consideration, as well as with forethought.
