She has told him not to buy anything else for her again.

My cynicism doesn't allow me to put much stock in this

And if it gets into a spending contest, there is no doubt who will win. The army grunt or the guy who makes >5x as much?


[/ QUOTE ]

You would actually want to win this contest?

Something tells me you may get your chance to try.

I've been "invited" to participate in similar contests too. Right away I knew I didn't want to win.

if you're ok with having a non-exclusive relationship with this girl then why does the fact that she's dating a chump matter? enjoy her company when you both feel like meeting up but otherwise go do your own thing.

Good point. I'm not that concerned. I do see it as potentially detrimental down the road.

yep. but that is then. i wouldn't bother thinking about more than a week into the future with a girl i am casually seeing. or is she the type you'd one day take home to mom?

I play for the long term. I'm not gonna try to buy the girl, she's too smart to see through that [censored] (again, if she's not, good riddance). But her chances of maintaining the lifestyle she is used to is much higher with me.

As long as she knows I am perfectly willing to take care of her when the time comes, I am not worried about this. Plus, I got her a more thoughtful gift for Christmas without appearing over the top.

Too smart not to see through it? I think you're missing the point. And why the hell are you buying Xmas gifts for non-exclusive girls?

[2Fast]

yeah, why are you buying her gifts? And what's the endgame here - marriage? She sure don't sound like a one-woman man.....in my experience, player chicks don't are like leopards - they don't change their spots and marriage or a "monogamous" relationship ain't gonna change that one iota

If you ask me, her poor choice in this other guy reflects poorly on her and on you too - there are plenty of fish in the sea so don't think this has to be the one

She loves to read, and I was in the store and saw a book she mentioned she had never read but wanted to, and splurged the $10 for it. Questionable play, but it worked in the end.

Worked by allowing you to be one of her many MySpace [censored]? Wow. You're a shrewd one.
