I have been talking to a girl for around two months and we started officially dating last week. I am taking her out to a special dinner tonight and I’m really excited about it. I got her something nice for before our dinner. I also took her out on another big date in the past where we did an activity and didn’t have a expensive dinner but did go somewhere to eat. We’ve seen each other like 15 times or so by this point and usually see each other twice a week. I have typically been paying for the dates that we go on and she has usually bought coffee for me or brought me gifts. I sincerely appreciate the effort that she puts into that, but I’m ready to have a conversation about money. I think it would be fair for us to rotate who pays for dinner, as we have entered into a partnership together. I am happy to pay for tonight‘s dinner, but I would like to bring up the conversation that maybe we should be splitting or we should be rotating who pays in order to continue to go out and do nice things. Otherwise, resentment will build because either I cannot pay, or because she is not getting to go out to do as many fun things with me. I think this is somewhat normal of a conversation, but I don’t think I’ve ever had it with a girlfriend. When I bring up a conversation like this, when’s the best time and how do I do it? submitted by /u/Diligent_Party_9763
