There's a girl I'm interested in, but I wonder if I'm financial and/or entertaining enough to date her

Hi there! I was wondering if you could help me.

I'm 18 and I have just started a relationship with this girl i really like although we have only known each other for a short period of time. We both really like each other but I have a lack of experience of long-term relationships and was wondering how I can keep her entertained and interested when she is with me. What can i talk to her about if conversation between us goes quiet or if she gets bored?

I am at college and only work part time so money is also a problem as I cant afford to take her out as much as I would like. I don't mind her coming round my house but what is there to do besides watching tv and films??

I also live at the other side of town so its not like she could just walk home when she has had enough. I will have to give her a lift which will also cost me in petrol and i can't afford to do it as often as I would like. Therefore I want her to enjoy being with me while she is and not get bored.

She knows my current finacial situation and she even suggested that she should pay for us both to do things but I don't want her to have to pay for me, although it is very kind of her.

I am currently waiting for a job I have applied for but i need some help in what we can do together on a low budget until i can afford to do more with her and when we know each other better. How can I keep her as interested as she is now??

Well what you can talk about is family ask her questions that would not just get yes and no answers talk about what you/her would like to do in the future. Money aint any thing go for a nice walk do things like that. Get a push bike and cycle to see her when you cant afford petrol plus you get fit. Believe me when i say its nice that a lady has money to treat her man you can make it up to her when you get a full time job after college.

What you have to understand is that if this girl is really into you and likes you as much as you say she does then she wont mind what you do together as long as you are spending time together..try talking to her and explaining your worries you might be surprised when she eases your mind and informs you that money is not an issue or problem.

Find some games to play...or make up some of your own. As for talking to her....just say whats on your mind and if she seems to be getting bored ask her what she's thinking. Give her a chance to talk and make sure you listen. Everyone likes to be listened to. Hope things go well.

AndersAmanda agony auntI think you need to get to know eachother a little better before you start rushing into things. After you get to know her more than you'll know exactly what to do when those times get hard

When you start seeing a girl, its sometimes best not to see too much of eachother. Instead of thinking about the negatives of your situation, think of the positives - it will make the time you do spend with eachother more special, and will probably have her thinking about you/wanting to be with you more when you're not together.

this girl is obviously interested in you otherwise she wouldnt have offered to pay for you sometime, you cant be expected to pay for everything that you do to together as that wouldn't be fair. being intimate together when watching films and dvd's will bring you a certain closeness between you, simple things that you can do are picnics in the countyside, long walks etc, not everything costs money to do, have fun xx
