skimmy Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Here's the situation. My man and I are huge yankee fans, and one of my friends has two playoff tickets to sell, both tickets for $140. Normally this wouldn't be so much except in the next week or so, we're going skydiving which will cost like $250 each, and I know money doesn't grow on trees for him. I have more disposable income, and I could totally get both tickets and do my half of skydiving...but tomorrow we'll have been dating for only a month...I don't know what I'm trying to ask, but would it be weird if I took him to a Yankee playoff game, my treat? Cuz I really really want to go, even if he didn't, but I want him there.
Pyro Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Nothing wrong with treating your man every now and then. As long as he isn't a cheap skate when he pays, then why not. On a side note, my Tigers are going to take your Yankees down.
Tony T Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Buy the tickets and take him there...think no more about it. He will be amazed at your generosity. Just tell him he has to buy the hot dogs and Cokes. Just make him feel comfortable that this is something you want to do and no further discussion is necessary. I think you ought to be sure he's available the day of the game. Otherwise, you may have to take me...haha!

Pyro Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Nice try Riddler, Yankees and Mets are destined to meet in a Subway Series. Just like the Yankees were destined to go all the way in 04. We''ll see. It looks like both NY teams will be without the services of one of there best pitchers on each team.

NHL season starts Wednesday night, just FYI ...............
jerbear Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Nice try Riddler, Yankees and Mets are destined to meet in a Subway Series. Totally agree! Been a Yank and Mets fan for years! NHL season starts Wednesday night, just FYI ............... yeah!!! Honestly 1 month is pretty short, ask him to go; better yet tell him that you have tickets and taking him. Some guys dig it when girls like the same sports they do. Nothing wrong with a little give and take. Now since you "have more resources" it would be hard for a 50/50 split; just make a note about it. Also keep it close and understand that he may resent that you have more income.
Walk Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 My concern would be if he become too comfortable in the relationship with her spending large amounts of money on the both of them.... Not that he would, but sometimes people can get kind of lazy, and become non-appreciative of the big gestures as the relationship progresses... Personally, if I were in her shoes, I'd get the tickets if i really wanted to go, and then give a little white lie about the cost. I'd tell him I got them for half what I paid. For one, many people can start to feel a little threatened when one partner starts making big purchases for them and they wouldn't be able to reciprocate in kind. Two, it would prevent him from assuming that $140 is no biggy to her, and expect it for future outtings. Which could cause resentment in the future for her. He doesn't need to know the actual cost... It really doesn't affect his pocket book, and their money isn't joint, so the total amount isn't really his concern.
