Is it normal to pay for a young lady's expenses
I am an older man and met this young lady who is 24 through an online website, and I have agreed to pay some of her expenses. Specifically, she told me that she likes beauty and fashion stuff so I suggested that I pay for whatever she buys like makeup, clothes, shoes, handbags, and jewelry. I also let her know that I would be willing to pay for her groceries and any food that she buys from fast food places and restaurants. However I have advised her that I will not be funding her student loans, rent, bills, and credit card payments. The way I see it is that I am helping a young person who is starting out in life on her own to become a responsible adult. Just because she cannot afford something outside of her budget does not mean that she should not be able to have it. In return she has conversations with me online about what is going on in her life, usually through words but sometimes when she makes big purchases in a week she will make a video blog for me so I can see her and hear her voice and see what her bedroom looks like. Sometimes she models the clothes and accessories that I bought for her if she is in a good mood. She has shown me a tour of her apartment and it looks quite comfortable. At times she has persuaded me to help pay for her furniture, especially if I thought it would look good in her apartment. She has also told me that she has a boyfriend and he is fine with me and her having this arrangement.
