If I have the financial resources and she 'pays' her way by other means, then I have no problem with that mentality - it's just money.

[frankly, I'm at the point in my life where I have a lot to give and need very little]

You wrote dept, twice. I was confirming you meant debt. It confused me the first few times I read your post.

As someone who lives in her area, not interested in buying. Far too many women here who are willing to agree to treat me once in awhile to put up with her nonsense.

No offense but that sounds like prostitution

If you don't feel comfortable being direct about what you'd like to see in terms of dating parity then I suggest you invite "miss hottie" on some inexpensive/free dates and see how she responds

like show up one day with an old movie from the library and microwave popcorn

invite her over for a game of backgammon or scrabble and wine or cocoa

go on a trail walk

volunteer to build a habit for humanity house together or some other charitable activity

these scenarios will allow you to enter into a courtship on different terms
it will also help you to gauge if she is truly interested in you or simply interested in what you can do for her

additionally I think folks often date without clear and congruent goals and objectives
like are you just trying to keep company with a hottie and have a friend with benefits or are you looking for a potential spouse/ life partner? Is she looking for a sponsor? A sponsor with benefits? Or a life partner?
If neither of you desire marriage then set ground rules for how your escorting/ courtship/ partnership/company keeping goes. SERIOUSLY!

Well, I'm jobless, single, and never been on a date but if I had a job and a girlfriend I'd want to pay for the dates we went on. If it was a woman I really liked, and felt I clicked with, why would I worry about some money? I guess it's because I don't really ever have much money around, that if I'm ever dating, it will be refreshing to me to actually have the money to spend.
