BUT nothing hurts more than finding out the truth of
her breaking up with you because of another guy.
What other guy? From what TS is telling so far, sounds like she's just leading a free life committed to
no one. And there's no break-up if there wasn't a relationship to begin with. TS didn't even have the guts to have a heart-to-heart talk about their relationship status, which he really should, so he can get a direct answer from her and decide where to go from there.

I have dated younger men like 8-12 years younger than me...and yes, I prefer younger men. mostly, they pay for meals, movies, clubbing etc. Only thing I never wanted/request are expensive gifts from them and so far I see she is not doing that. Besides, financial is not a problem for you right? aiyo, just pamper her lah. If I had a bf, yes, he pays for our outings. Not say must lah, but to most women, it's just a normal thing a gentleman who can afford should do.

Money is not an issue but you know, shes 28 and working with quite a descent salary, i would expect her to have more class and sometimes offer to pay. Im not saying i shouldnt pamper her and that but its just common courtesy to at least offer to pay up once at the very least? Tbh maybe im just a stingy person that only spends alot on himself and has barely dated or even went out with a girl thats why i feel this way now
Wanna hear from another woman's perspective?
Firstly, I do not agree with michlove's opinion of genders having that kind of expectation from each other. It's archaic and condescending to both genders. As you mentioned, the girl you're interested in is
working with a decent salary. There is ZERO excuse for her to NOT take turns treating you. Even if she's making less than you or has financial commitments, she can still occasionally treat you to cheaper outings within her budget to express her appreciation for you, like movie tickets, or snacks, etc. Heck, even friends take turns covering for each other! Stop enabling the "princess" mind set. And to those girls who hold this to their heart like the gospel, please have some dignity for yourself. We can't demand mutual respect from men if we can't even give back equal treatment. Just stop with the double standards.
Secondly, your main issue here is
you didn't even talk to her thoroughly about the nature of your friendship/relationship with her! I find it hilarious that you seem to have more priority in having ONZ with her than actually addressing the issue of your ambiguous relationship with her.
Where are your priorities, boy?

Stop wasting your time. Go have a heart-to-heart talk to her and find out if she really wants a committed relationship with you. And if your excuse is that you're just afraid of the answer and end up alone, then you already have BIGGER issues: Your self-esteem needs a lot of work. Hopefully that's not the case.
