Why do I feel guilty?

[LonelyInAutumn]

I have a date tomorrow and he's travelling

jesus I posted too soon. They guy is travelling about 50 miles and is offering to pay for meal and drinks and I can't help but feel guilty. I even insisted before he said anything

As long as he isn’t expecting to stay at yours?

You pay half for drinks and meal and you won’t feel guilty.

He is an adult who has made a choice to come and see you.

Go with the flow. But offer to pay. Enjoy your date.

@AtrociousCircumstance Nope, definitely will not be staying over.

I have offered to pay already but he's said no. I'll maybe try and be sneaky about it and just tap my card quickly 🤔

@B1rd I'll do just that. Thank you :)

Why do you feel guilty, don’t start thinking you owe him something because you feel guilty, not a good start tbh

@BiscoffSundae I don't feel like I owe him anything. I get like this with anyone tbf. If my mom offers me money or a friend offers to get me a coffee I feel guilty accepting it

Tbh if you get on well and want to see him again, then kindly accept his offer to pay and say you’ll get the next one.

If you don’t want to see him again if make more of an effort to pay half or at least part towards it, to stave off any feelings of indebtedness!

*I’d make more of an effort

Tell him you're uncomfortable and that you'd much prefer to pay 50/50, or pay for the food, since he's paying for travelling.

If he insists on over riding your preference, don't see him. It won't be the only time.
