I am in my mid 30s dating a guy in his late 20s for a few months. I have a good job and am financial stable (which he is attracted to). He also has a good job and is financially stable. On our earlier dates he said he liked paying but I insisted I pay the next time. He always goes to Pay first and if I let him, I pay the next time. If we go out to an expensive meal, I insist we split. I like it when a man pays, not because I’m taking advantage but I like feeling taken care of. How do I reverse the pattern of taking turns (should I?). And how do I feel ok with him paying for expensive meals. I feel so awkward just sitting there letting him pay. I’m ok with paying sometimes to treat him as well. I am scared he will see this shift and feel like I am taking advantage of him. Maybe I should have set the tone better in the beginning. Should I tell him I like when he pays because it makes me feel taken care of? I want to set the tone for our future because I think we have a lot of potential. I would love some advice.
