    Is this for real? Not much of a "dilemma" in my view...
  • I believe they call that p***k teasing. It's immoral but it depends on what kind of person you are. Presumably any right minded person would tell you to be honest and stop stringing them along top get what you want from them. It's a small step between going for dinner with someone to going to bed with somebody so you get free things. Just think about what you're doing.
  • Whatever happens you must tell him how you feel. If he doesn't want to caary on the relationship, then that's up to him. However, if you enjoy his company and he enjoys yours, why not keep the friendship going, but pay your share, even if you have to go somewhere cheaper.

    Do it but always dump them after the 2nd date, as he will be expecting some action on the 3rd date, most blokes would dump you if they hadnt had any by the 3rd, unless the OP is some amazonian goddess type who is worth the wait.

    Hmm, Should I stop seeing the guy I'm not interested in, or prostitute my company to him in exchange for nice meals? Decisions, decisions...

    You can't keep seeing him because you like the freebies, as other people have suggested that is prostitution.

    On the other hand, you don't say why you don't think it is going anywhere and you do say that he is sweet. If you just don't feel a spark right now but enjoy his company and could see yourself with him longer term, given that this is pretty early days, then maybe you should see what happens, but without leading him on. Maybe you just don't know him well enough to see his attractive features and find that spark? I'm thinking that you must hold out some hope that a relationship could develop, or there wouldn't be a dilemna.
  • I met a lovely man and we spent some time together while I was single. I really liked him, but the only problem was when he kissed me it didn't float my boat which was a shame. He took me to lovely places and I did really enjoy his company but i had to wonder could I live the rest of my life without the pizzaz. I wasn't sure if I would ever find that but i realised that all the time I was spending my energy with this man I couldn't be open to anything new. It was a big step to move on, and scarey because the 'pizzaz might never come, but I felt i was worth having it all. i was alone for quite a while and I decided to take up karaoke. Not long after I was sitting talking to some new friends when a really cute guy came up and starting talking to my friends boyfriend. He was at work and just poped in to ask a question. He sat down for a little while but then his phone went (work) and he went outside to take it. As I left he was standing talking and looking at me. That was over two years ago now. It turned out he was my friends boyfriends son. This saturday we are moving in together :) and we still have pizzaz. What I wanted to say was this isn't about what you are taking from him, but what you are denying yourself. You are worth more than second best, but you have to believe it and be strong enough to hold out for what you deserve.

    afc poor guy he needs to be a pua
  • I know this used to go on in my granny's day when women couldn't pay their own way.
    Now I can't see the difference between this and being a paid escort.
