[quote=SuperSalad]I don't know whether or not you're together with him or not anymore, but here my two cents. He offered you, therefore he shouldn't have flipped out about whatever you asked for because he should have been ready for it. In addition, he seems to be measuring your relationship with him with some weird and monetarily based system. You should stay away from that. He's saying I can only spend X amount of money on you if we have been dating X amount of time. It just doesn't make sense. Also, you said you feed uncomfortable. You're 17. You don't have to waste any time with anyone you feel uncomfortable with. You will have plenty of opportunities in the future to meet people you will always enjoy being around. That doesn't you should be rude to him. Should you chose to leave him, let him know that he made you feel uncomfortable and that you just can't stop feeling that way anymore. Be nice.[/quote]

You're kinda late, this thread was last commented 41 days ago.

lol usually guys pay for stuff at the beginning of relationships and then it evens out later on, not the other way around.

[quote=ClipsNCurls]Yep im not going to break up with him over this..duh, but in the future if this continues i dont know what to say -dump- ?[/quote]
Obvs don't break up over this.

You should shout a lunch or dinner and see if he offer to buy the next time.

It's 4 dollars o.o

Yep im not going to break up with him over this..duh, but in the future if this continues i dont know what to say -dump- ?

4$ for a SMALL is expensive, and i think your overreacting just let it go. Also i dont think he does that every time and if you really liked him you would forgive him over such a small issue like that.

This was actually really funny. If you've been dating a few months and he won't buy you something worth four dollars, you have a problem. Or he thinks you are gaining weight and considers you to be less attractive then you were previousely, and the only reason he offered to buy you a drink is out of conduct. Then agan it was a smoothy, so this is quite the quandary.

If he was broke or wasn't willing to spend the money, then he shouldn't have asked you if you wanted a drink in the first place. He also shouldn't be making you feel bad about it either. Just saying that the smoothie was a little too expensive for his budget would have sufficed. With that said though, you probably shouldn't break up with him just because of this. If it keeps happening then you can start thinking about breaking up more seriously.

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHx2000 your boyfriend sounds like a full out tool i'm sorry if this is true that is really sad.

Maybe he just want to treat you as an equal and not like you're a golddigger. He wants to make you feel independent. Love doesn't equate to how much you're willing to spend on another person. With that said $4 is an insignificant amount, it is kind of rude of him to not just buy it for you. I think he should be more considerate of your feelings. I thought when you like a person you are suppose to make them feel important like they mean the world to you.

i dont want to turn this into a fight but i just dont see the point in offering something to someone if your going to put limits on their selection...without telling them >.>

@Zoneflare2 its not the price or drink that's my issue, its the fact he contradicted himself...and what is even worse is that it was a lame drink. What im trying to get off here is if he is immature/rude or he really didn't mean it in a way to hurt me.

Thank you thats how i exactly feel...now i just want to know if i should give him another chance or dump him..which would be hard to do because a) our families are close and b) because he is a really good friend of mine anyway. @DrHye

[quote=ClipsNCurls]17 and dating for a few months.[/quote]

Your boyfriend's so dumb haha
If he's not willing to spare his girlfriend more than $1.06 on a drink after a few months of dating, you don't think that says anything? He's stingy as hell, or he was making a joke that didn't blow over well at all

@gangar32: I had truthfully guessed high school freshmen

Edit: Ok, saying "so dumb haha" was mean. But he does seem pretty immature based on the OP

@Zoneflare2 @PressF13 okay realistically speaking no one would actually burn 5 bucks..and if they did there would be some concern because that's just not normal but my point is no one should put a price on actions/items in a relationship, but rather enjoy everything with your other and always be fair. SIGH...MAJOR SIGH.

@ClipsNCurls For the rest of my life?

@pressF13 uhm yes if i loved you and it made you happy?

4$ for a small smoothie [b]is[/b] a rip off. It's not that he's cheap, it's that he's not being stupid with his money. If I asked you for 5$ so I could set it on fire, would you give me the money?

Well he has a point. Money doesn't grow on a tree.

Hahaha so bad.

@sparkshooter not that his finances are my business but if i knew he had money troubles i woulda passed the offer>.< but trust me he isnt broke

[quote=ClipsNCurls]well i told him i would buy one myself (which i did end up doing) and went to the bathroom to see if he would change his mind about buying me one and when i came out he had his own drink already (Coke) so he obviously didnt buy me one after i left for 5min:/ i jus gotta be independent i guess >.>[/quote]

Why don't you stop being a cheap ass and buy it yourself from the beginning

[quote=ClipsNCurls]its not the expenses that is bothering me, its the fact he OFFERED me a drink and backed out because of the expense, so ultimately its him with the issue of money @sparkshooter[/quote]

Is it possible that he has an actual financial problem?
Or maybe you're his first girlfriend?

[quote=ClipsNCurls]@Krazyloopyx that reminds me i got him a couple starbucks coupons...you want em? lol i like daaaa cappichino n.n"[/quote]

Starbucks FV Late is gross, but the hot chocolate is good, i'd rip those coupons right out your hand omgg

@Krazyloopyx that reminds me i got him a couple starbucks coupons...you want em? lol i like daaaa cappichino n.n"

Why not get a French Vanilla Late? No wonder he was freaking out

@QuantumFlux: Still though, 4 dollars? It's not like it was 10 dollars or over for a small smoothie. That's just my opinion though. Putting myself in that situation, I wouldn't mind spending 4 dollars for my girl's drink.

Does he lift? If he lifts I can understand the man's desire to buy inexpensive things cuz brotein cost like 54 bucks, preworkout another 40+, then creatine like 15, fish oil some 20 bucks, and these last about 1 - 2 months. This is excluding the food expenses too.

its not the expenses that is bothering me, its the fact he OFFERED me a drink and backed out because of the expense, so ultimately its him with the issue of money @sparkshooter

Lmao, you can't even share a McDonald's smoothie.

[quote=xdwow]Either he is secretly gay, or he's just playing hard to get (I lol'd at this)[/quote]
I think neither, guys don't really play hard to get. That's just weird lol.

He shouldn't be getting worked up lol. And what's so wrong? The way I see it is that you're the only one clinging onto this experience. I don't think he will remember this in a day or two.

[quote=DaGhettoBoy]Break up with him. If he doesn't even want to give you something worth $4 what makes you think he will get you a diamond ring for that
finger of yours? Oh yeah I know what he will do "Heres a String"[/quote]
Nah, more like "Here's a band of the friend zone level."
On-Topic: I don't think she should break up with him, she should just ask why he would get worked up over a 4$ smoothie.

[quote=ClipsNCurls]well i told him i would buy one myself (which i did end up doing) and went to the bathroom to see if he would change his mind about buying me one and when i came out he had his own drink already (Coke) so he obviously didnt buy me one after i left for 5min:/ i jus gotta be independent i guess >.>[/quote]

I shouldn't judge because there's a reason you are in a relationship with him, but imo what he did; that was terrible. I mean I wouldn't even do this to my bros.

[quote=xdwow]Either he is secretly gay, or he's just playing hard to get (I lol'd at this)[/quote]
If he was secretly gay, then why would he have a girlfriend?
Answering my question: Probably because so he wouldn't look gay. I dunno.
Unless the OP has done some things with him that isn't gay.

Look, that's not the kind of drink he was asking about. Wants some of lovin loving yum yum, nomsayin?

well i told him i would buy one myself (which i did end up doing) and went to the bathroom to see if he would change his mind about buying me one and when i came out he had his own drink already (Coke) so he obviously didnt buy me one after i left for 5min:/ i jus gotta be independent i guess >.>

[quote=feud999]Most likely Jewish, who the hell would get so worked up over a 4$ smoothie?
Also real answer: He probably thought that you two would "share" the smoothie, making it look romantic, and could turn things into a more romantic level.
My opinion.[/quote]

My opinion.

He flipped out for an item in McDonalds.. When my girl and I go to McDonalds, it's as if we're in burger king and she's the queen because anything will go her way because the price is pretty affordable. jk, I limit her. don't want her to get in the chub chub and put the blame blame on me.
But seriously though, he shouldn't have made a big deal about it.

Uhm. He's incredibly cheap for making spending 4 dollars on you for a drink a big deal... it's only 4 dollars...

yes @xdwow i feel like i needa EARN things with him..which makes me feel uncomfortable.

I don't know why, but I laughed while reading this.

The problem is that you went to McDeath

Is he Jewish? I'll buy that for you.

"I don't think we're on this level yet, the smoothie cost 4 dollars...." so there's hierarchy in relationships with regards to buying things for girls?

17 and dating for a few months.

How old are you guys
