Seriously though, I question why guys would get involved with a woman who isn't independent enough to make her own money. My ex certainly helped me with bills from time to time, but that was because we were in a committed relationship that ostensibly was heading toward marriage. Prior to that, I would have felt insulted if he had even offered to help me early on in the relationship.
Obviously everyone's mileage varies, and not all guys are into independent women I guess? Still, if I were a guy, a woman without the means to support herself in some way, shape, or form would be a turn off.
ok so don't give gf money for her bills, hair make up etc. but should you (or how often) always pay when you eat out? go to movies? how much do you guys spend to buy her gift on bday, special holiday etc?
I definitely don't want to set myself up for sugar daddy but where is the balance to show that you want to be nice and treat her nicely, you like her etc.
like the banker said on the first page, it will be a mess to get the money back if you guys broke up. but documented loans with signature is ok I guess? or maybe don't even loan?
how common is this kind of relationship? where they completely separate each other from money, guys pays everything for himself, girls do the same.

If she can't get a loan from a bank or her parents or just charge her credit card - there might be a reason for it. this is the US, there are so many institutions who loan money. Or get a second job. I would NOT give her a loan, not even with a signature.
Look at the bazillion other threads about who pays for dinner.
She should pay ever now and then or at least make up with homecooked meals.
Only if you are super loaded, I would suggest you always pay.
Don't give her money unless you're married. Other than that, don't give her a dime.
