I am facing a dilemma while dating, I have a very well paid job but I tend to fall for artists or social science grad students who are usually broke or close to be. The economical status difference is sometime the elephant in the room as I suggest expensive options for dinner or other activities. I don't mind paying, but it creates a weird dynamic between us. Most woman want to be independant, I am one of them, but I feel that it is hard on my lover's morale. I do not want to be a "sugar mommy", I'm too young. I like to treat my date with the best and I enjoy it too. Have you experienced similar situations ? Si you have any solutions that you came up with?
