I pay for anyone I do anything with if I can. Men, women, acquaintances, friends, romantic partners, anyone. I'm far from rich, but I'm also not very expensive, and I like to share what I do have with the people around me. No matter who they are, or how long I've known them. It just makes me feel good to do something small and kind for someone else.

If someone went around claiming I was trying to force them on dates because of that, I would be absolutely heartbroken. I feel for you.
