Okay so here's the story I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 3 years now. We are both 20 and in college. He never really acts sweet with me, it's rare when he does. He hardly treats me when we go out. Sometimes he does but usually I end up spotting him. He has a job and can very well afford a good meal. Idk what to tell him? His " excuse " is he doesn't like materialistic girls and that he would rather make me something because it has more meaning and I don't mind that part but he can't even buy me a whole meal. It's getting old. I feel weird because I always spot him when he needs it or I buy him random gifts and make him things. Should I stop?

    Ease up on the gifts, and show your affection in non-material ways. Talk to him. Tell him how you feel when he doesn't pay for a meal or make you a gift. The more communication you have with him, the more you can talk about how to give each other the affection you want.

    Ohhhh... Girl stop that. You'll NEVER get anything from him if you keep spotting him for meals.
    You're his sugar momma, yikes.

    Have you openly talk to him about your feelings about it? Having a good talk without loosing your control will help him see your point of view. And if he does react outrageously about it, it is not your fault. Sometimes, people don't know what they are doing to others until someone says it to them. Often, they would deny what they are doing; But, if he does understand, he'll try to be better and change things around for your relationship. Hope this helps you and your BF

    Oh yes. I would definitely stop buying him things. Tell him you don't like materialistic guys.
