Context: I’m 19 and completely inexperienced when it comes to dating. Two days ago, my friend, her boyfriend, and I were supposed to go see Backrooms together, but one of the boyfriend’s friends joined us last minute. This guy insisted on paying for my movie ticket, snacks, dinner afterward, and even 3 books when we stopped at a bookstore, and then he drove me home. After the movie, I mentioned that I wanted to see Obsession next because, in my mind, they’re kind of sister movies, and he said we should go see it together, which we did yesterday. He acted the exact same way then too. He’s also going fishing on Sunday, and I’m going with him. I’ve never had a guy act like this toward me before, so I honestly don’t know what to make of it. But I really love it, and I can’t stop thinking about him.
I mean that’s possible… But no, it’s not certain at all.
My girlfriend has rich parents, she’s the type to do this kind of stuff, and we’ve been together for 5 years. She’s also a communist and a class traitor. She sees generosity as fairness: if her family has a lot and her friends have little, she’s got more of a responsibility to provide for all of us than we do. Also, she’s never worked a paying job in her life and has no clue about the actual value of money. She’s willing to give away money because it’s just not that valuable to her.
