Mom, daughter disagree on who should pay for a date

I have been seeing a wonderful guy for about six months. I’m pretty sure I make more money than he does, but even if I didn’t, I don’t feel the need to be supported. I don’t agree the guy should always have to pay. Times have changed since my mother dated. What’s the general consensus on the subject these days? — INDEPENDENT WOMAN IN MARYLAND

DEAR INDEPENDENT: The consensus is that you’re right. Times HAVE changed since your mother dated, and furthermore, paying for a date does not give the payer any guarantee of sexual favors. While in some regions, cultures and age groups there may be the expectation that the man pays, in today’s world many women expect to pay their fair share after the first couple of dates.

In other words, it’s COMMON to split a check or share the cost of an evening’s dinner and entertainment. The idea that a woman should put out for the price of a burger is, thankfully, passe. And that’s for the best, don’t you agree?

DEAR ABBY: I have known “Arthur” for more than 20 years. Since Day One, he has wanted more than friendship, but I made it clear that I never wanted more than a platonic relationship. I care about him, but have never had romantic feelings for him.

We spend a lot of time together between relationships with other people. (I was married for eight years out of our 20-year friendship.) Arthur comes over — we hang out, sometimes share a meal or watch a movie, etc. Then we go to sleep in my bed. He SLEEPS in my bed, where there’s no hanky-panky. I’m content with things as they are. He makes me laugh and I feel good about myself.

However, lately I sense he’s becoming too attached. I worry that I might be leading him on even though I’ve made it clear that I don’t want anything romantic or sexual. After 20 years, there are no gray areas left to analyze my intentions.

My friends think what I’m doing is wrong, that I might be keeping Arthur from moving forward in his life. Keep in mind that I encourage him to go out with friends and to date. AM I doing anything wrong that may be hurting him in an indirect way?

Sex Trivia | Abby's Sexual Health

The famous four-lettered word for sex has some intriguing tales of its origin, which are not necessarily true but all the same interesting. Apparently in ancient England a person could only have babies with permission of the king. When they had sex a placard hung on their door which said - F.*.*.*. - Fornication Under Consent of the King on it. Some others have said it is an acronym for 'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge' and was used when someone was punished for 'prostitution.’
