So I went on a couple of dates so far with this girl and each time it has gone really well, we click physically and mentally. Best of all she lives in my neighborhood too. I think if we keep going at this, she could be quality LTR material.

 

However the catch is based off conversations with her, it doesn't appear that she is long-term minded about staying in this city. She mentioned about applying to grad school (which is out of state or overseas) and doing city hopping in the next couple of years. She's currently subletting and is comfortable with that situation as she has the freedom to drop everything and move if needed.

 

The first date we went dutch but we just had a drink so it wasn't such a big deal. And the second date we went out to a restaurant. She offered to pay her share when the tab came, but I pretty much covered us. At most so far she's willing to meet up once a week, and it's smart to keep a distance as she is probably going on dates with other men (from OLD) and I don't think she's looking for a LTR anyway.

 

Given this is the case and maybe we could hit it off for a STR, I wonder if from now on we should go dutch on everything or I should pay most of the time as if this could be a real LTR? I just don't know if it would be worth the financial investment if she decided for instance to move elsewhere next year.

Women are like cars. You have to pay the lease.

 

If you dont pay, she is just going to see the other guys who are paying.

 

Ideally, if love truly exists, doesnt matter if its STR or LTR, you dont need to make any financial investment in the first place.
