WTF? LOL no.

If you're just dating then of course not. A committed relationship, here and there might be ok.

Just dating, I'd kick her to the curb faster than anything else.

No, you should not do it.

A financially irresponsible person is usually an immature one. If she can't take of her finances, then she'll damage yours if things become more serious. As poster stated, a cell phone is a LUXURY, not a necessity.

Myself, if I dated someone and she was having a hard time financially (and things were serious between us) I'd simply get another phone on my plan. That way she has a phone and if we part ways, I can transfer the service to another phone or drop it completely,depending upon the situation.

That is a fat NO and a huge red flag.

I'd honestly send her packing.

Wasn't thinking of this distinction but yes if I was just dating a girl I would run faster than the wind. Only in a committed relationship would I help, as long as she is trying to help herself too.

If you're interested in the type of women who can't pay their own cell phone bills, go ahead and help them out.

As a woman, I think that's unacceptable. I would NEVER ask a man I am only dating to pay ANY bills for me. Bad move, where's her pride?

I never ask for financial help from anyone. But if they want to spend their money on me, I would not reject it either.

My husband spend his money on me without me asking him to, EVER. And that's why I married him.

If she's really in a pinch, and if you're in a position to lend a hand, and if you really like her, help. If she's fiscally irresponsible, or if it would cause problems for you, or if you don't feel honored to help, don't.

I only helped one girlfriend ever and it wasn't easy for her to ask. But I was crazy about her and considered it an honor to ease one of her burdens.
