griffindunker Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 last night my girlfriend of ten months, her younger sister and her niece went to dinner. it was at a local burger joint. for the 4 of us it was only 21 dollars so i just paid it myself. my girlfriend said i didnt have to but i told her dont worry about it well this morning she called me and said it made me seem desperate to try to impress her i was just trying to be a nice guy. it wasn't a big deal did i really do a bad thing?
Omei Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) If it was a 100$ plate dinner or you haven't been dating long I would say yes... 10 months? Only 21$ and it was just the ladies its not like you tried to show up one of the dudes of the family....I would of kissed you and said thanks for being so sweet to my family. Its weird she makes you feel bad for it pretty dickish imo, ungrateful. I think what you did was okay and thoughtful. You've been dating 10 months I'd assume the need to impress stage is over, is she really still in that stage? Its just who you are. Edited April 9, 2014 by Omei 2
gaius Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Maybe she has some kind of competition with her sister and doesn't like the idea of you expending resources on her. Women take that stuff seriously.
ctxinfl Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Wow. She accused you of looking desperate because you paid for a $21 meal for four at a burger joint? You did nothing wrong.
gaius Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I let my girlfriend pick me up at the airport but if she ever picks up me and my brother I'll be pissed.
mammasita Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 You did nothing wrong - that was very nice. She should be thankful. 1
PegNosePete Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 You have been together 10 months and she thinks you are trying to impress her by spending $21? What's wrong with her??
Hello_is_it_me Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Weeeeeird. Especially since you've been dating 10 months. If you did it on like the first or second date I could see her point... Hmm... Is she the jealous type? Maybe she's jealous of you helping her sister?
soccerrprp Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I'm with everyone else. You did good! Or at least, for most, your gesture would have been appreciated.
bubbaganoosh Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I can't see how paying 20 bucks for a few hamburgers is looking desperate. Maybe you should let your girlfriend know that and tell her that you have enough confidence in yourself that you don't need to do things out of desperation and that maybe she should think before she speaks and just say "thank you" and leave it at that. 1
HappyLove Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Wow, your gf is a jerk. I'm sure there are many other red flags with this one.

She sounds kind of like a b**** Is this an isolated incident or does she exhibit this kind of behavior in other situations too? 1
TheNewMe2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 concur..early on..maybe desperate to impress. Now? perfectly fine and seems like the nice thing to do.
Woggle Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Then start being more stingy or just dump her. This is a major red flag.
IdontPlayanyGames Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 lol. just ask her family where the money they owe you is the next time you see them. and never pay again. i dont see a big deal. but if shes gonna freak then dont pay anymore. 1
Omei Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 No dont dump her lol someone said dump her its not a big deal, ask her why she feels the way she did I think you should ask her why on earth she would see it this way, and also ask her about future outings maybe she didnt like you paying and made up a reason. Find out talk about it like a couple.
