I'm not after a man's pocket but him telling me all this makes me uncomfortable and makes me feel that he is cheap, and not capable for a date.wat do you think?

Take a walk if that is not making you comfortable

Temilade£:

There is this guy who is really interested in me,but sometimes he'd say things that make him sound and look cheap. He took me to a pound shop once and he talked about how he likes it there becos that is where you can get your cheap things. Then he told me why he doesn't buy chinese food because it's so bloody expensive, but it's just about £5 a plate. I hate when guys start appearing to be cheap. I'm not after a man's pocket but him telling me all this makes me uncomfortable and makes me feel that he is cheap, and not capable for a date.wat do you think?

And let the name callings begin soon! Goodluck!

He is not 'date capable' doesnt mean he is not 'marriage able'.

And it does call to question what exactly it is you girls want. If on the other hand the guy is really happy and feels like spending good money on his date you will say he is loud and 'flaunty'. Go with the flow and see what your new relationship has to offer. Too early to play judge.

If you are uncomfortable, there is no need to date him. Some people (guys and ladies) are like that, if you don't agree with his principles there is no need to hang around except you want to try and change him or pick up the bills from more expensive places.

He is a cheap skate imagine being married to that? Hell no.

Just tell him straight up, "I'm not a gold-digger, and I really like you, but your cheapness is a huge turn-off."

i wonder what the guy is still doing with u. cos u moved from ajegunle to europe, u don expensive abi? i know ur type.

Words coming out from a cheap guy

Some of these ladies are trifling, aswerigad.

You are thinking of breaking up with a guy cos he goes to pound shop and would rather save his money instead of eating out. . . . . . .

What ever happened to your own £5??
Why don't you go to Harrods and do your shopping if pound shop isn't up to yuour level??

Psshhhh
Dude is prolly trying to make ends meet and you trying to take the little he has.

Get yourself a real life ma'am.

@OMO IBO
i think we share the same beliefs apart from sport

that's what he can afford, and indeed interested guy.

Na wa oh.

Me thinks it's the way you present yourself to a man is the way he will treat you.

My ex bf and my present bf. These Boys spend on me. Infact, am even the one that complains they overdo and always looking for bargains.

For example, am presently in Naija. My darling paid for my ticket. I wanted to fly with air maroc and save him about 150 pounds. My boo said nope. He insisted I fly with virgin and he paid my ticket.

Please note. Am not flashy. Am not the girl with 500pounds lace wig. But I have got class. My body language, content of conversation and attitude reeks of it.

So if you appear cheap, a man will treat you cheap. Show you have class in a HUMBLE way and he will treat you like a QUEEN that you are.

One last thing. NEVER APPEAR DESPERATE TO A MAN. play cool and calm.

Ms Poster, so because
1) He frequents £1 shops instead of more expensive high street shops selling the same product,
2) He decides to either cook for himself instead of eating Chinese meal of £5
his prudency is now a cause for concern for you?
If the issues you raised is anything to go by, it can only prove that you have "long-throat", at your age you still dont know how to budget and get the basic things from cheap shops. You'd rather eat out than cook for yourself on a cheaper scale!! I hail the guy jare, afterall he is not in london to satisfy your long throat, abi na becos of u he buy Visa? Abeg leave the boy alone jare, if you have issues with the way he manages his money then move on sharpish!!

tkb417, we do indeed share same beliefs.
Sports-wise?? Phewww
Your passion runs wild.

I'm liking Ybab.
She makes a whole lot of sense.

Yea, he's cheap and stingy. I bet he can afford it but he's just trying to cut corners! *roooolz eyez*

My dear your BF is generous, don't confuse things! I bet 80% of NLers will judge your 'class' as extravargant!

I do agree with the bolded part dou; but I doubt the poster's BF was taking her to a cheap shop because she was 'desperate'!

£5 a plate of Chinese. . .  Why wont he complain? Cos u go on 2 dates and thats £20 which is not much but which can also prepare u a pot of chinese!!

Why dont u suggest u guys go shopping at Sainsbury's or Tescos and u can buy stuff for u to cook a pot instead?? Abi u no sabi cook?

Hehehehe pound shop? No chinese food? Wot has 2010 done to naijaboyz. I can understand buyin tins from poundshop but cmon chinese, movies, clubs, buffets is a must. His ego won't make him say he is broke so instead he says he hates dis and dat. Women must eat in every dating experience so Talk a walk lady

Let's just face it, the guy is proper cheap but that should not be a criteria for choosing a partner. A guy need to treat a gal once in a while.Like someone said, be open about it if you are broke and she MIGHT understand.

£5 chinese, haba, Life can not be that bad!!!!!!
