A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Holy fuck this thread. It's amazing half of you have ever dated.
Yes he likes you. Holy fuck the screeches about red flags from nerds 🤣, seems to want impress you.
Remember this was movie + snacks + dinner + 3 books + drive home. That's 100€ at the low end, most likely 150-200 from a kid with no job. All for something that wasn't even a date. Call us whatever you want for finding it unusual, but yes, it is unusual.
Maybe you just met someone with parents with disposable income 🤣 Jesus Christ people.
Just because he has disposable income doesn't mean he isn't using his capital to try to impress a young woman and even create an aire of obligation to her.
Hell, I'm in my 40s and dating someone that makes roughly a third of what I do. My responsibility to her is to pick dating spots that she can afford, NOT pay for everything.
This isn't about him liking her but how this message is being mingled in with money. There is an inherent power dynamic when it comes to wealth and men especially.
To pretend it doesn't exist shows the immense privilege that exists.
It's not that funny. Sheesh.
Eh, just took a quick look through their history. Talks about buying a prebuilt PC and replacing some parts in one thread then uses "nerd" as an insult in another. Like those closeted gay guys that call other people faggot. No point in talking with people that are this disconnected from reality.
True enough. I always try to hold a mirror up to them, however briefly.
Ah, one of those. You know you're a spoiled asshole when "money to burn constantly" translates to "disposable income". It's definitely odd for the dude to spend that much money immediately, and it's also weird that you are so defensive about it
👌👍🤣
We're advising her to be cautious, not advising her to call the whole thing off. What's so wrong with that?
OP mentions their age but not his. If this person is in their 20s, or even 30s, the story changes dramatically
