Guess Who’s Paying for Dinner?0
Mormon Life says: Oh dating.
Thanks to a fancy new job and, more to the point, a fancy new salary, for the first time in my adult life I am not worried about money.
This means I can buy plane tickets to see my friends get married, and I can give people presents just because, and I can pay off my student loan and eat out with my friends and start a 401(k) and actually have a savings account and live in something other than a constant state of anxiety about how far my money can stretch.
It also means that, for the first time in my adult life, it is a very real possibility that I make more money than some of the guys I go out with.
But, I still expect them to pay for me.
And this is a problem.
This is a problem because, on a very basic level, it seems unfair. This is also a problem because, in most everything else, I am pretty adamant about doing things myself. That’s the enlightened, 21st century way, is it not? I can check my own oil and change a tire and operate power tools and carry heavy boxes, thank you very much.
