I guess you can say I'm independent. I live by myself and pay my own bills. When I go out with my girlfriend I almost always pay, it makes me uncomfortable when she pays for me. Usually I only let her pay if she drags me to something that I don't really want to go to. If it's something big then we usually will split the cost. Like went we went to Disneyland for example I paid for the hotel room and took her out to a nice dinner, she paid for the gas and the tickets to Disneyland.
