Proving someones value or love to someone should never be measured in monetary form, especially in today's economic times. We measure someones worth in monetary form only for employment purpose. The more valuable the employee is to an employer the more the employer attempts to compensate them. Someones value in this form is measurable.
To try and place a monetary value on an emotion is just plain wrong for many reasons. An example of this would be: Your boyfriend is head over heals in love with you but he does not have a dime to spare. He shows his love for you by treating you properly and spending all his spare time with you.
I on the other hand come from a rich family and my parents throw money at me just to get rid of me. I see you and decide you are someone I want to get to know and try to get into my bed. I have no thoughts of a long term love affair. I am only out to satisfy my carnal desires. I know you have a boyfriend though I feel I can take you away from him buy showering you with expensive trinkets as I know you place emotional value on gifting.
I'm probably not going to treat you as well as your boyfriend is. We will date and I will expect you to be at my beck and call. I will eventually get from you what I want or I won't. In either case when I do or don't I will drop you like a hot potato.
Now I'm not like that but I have known guys who are. Placing monetary value on an emotion is a false value. The real value is in how this boy treats and respects you. He may only have enough money to take you on a nice date each week.Which would you prefer shiny trinkets that you will soon forget about or going out and having a nice time with him each week.

Xui answered Saturday February 2 2013, 6:12 pm: Maybe he doesn't have the money to spend? Eitheh way, You should never expect your boyfriend to fork out money all the time. Sometimes it is okay but don't turn into one of them high maintenance needy chicks. Not cool
Talk to him about maybe going 50/50 or taking turns on paying for one another. That's the way it should be [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
