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.
To be honest, the sugar daddy vs. boyfriend relationship is pretty much dependent on the people involved. I mean, you can't really be a sugar daddy if you don't pay for dinners - but just because you pay for dinners won't make you a sugar daddy. The more important thing is to get to know the woman. If you trust her and know that your feelings are reciprocated in the same fashion - paying for her dinner and buying her gifts isn't going to turn you into a sugar daddy. If it's important for you to find someone that wants to pay for herself for everything - there are women like that, too.
women = expensive luxury items. Not unlike fancy watches or cars. Nice if you can afford one but certainly you don't need one. There are certain economic truths in life and that is one of them.
When you first start dating I think it's horrible idea to give woman money to pay their bills or for beauty reasons. She technically hasn't "earned" it and she knows it. So she won't generally appreciate the gesture. That is just my opinion. But let's say you have been dating her for a couple of months and she starts dropping hints of bills being due.
If you don't live with her and combine finances/bills, then I'd say under almost all circumstances--never.
However, very rarely, I have friends that I've known for years that may need money for emergency car repairs, vet bills, medicines. Depending on their circumstances and level of responsibility, I'd loan then money. In a relationship, I'd probably shell out to a boyfriend for these reasons on a LOAN basis.
Seriously..."give"? Since when is putting out a charitable deduction?

What's the general rule of thumb for giving your girlfriend money?
Never. She better have a decent job, her own car, and an apartment, and be able to take care of herself.
