Help! I am writing to see if you have advice for someone who loves his boyfriend but doesn't have a lot of money to spend on romance. I have been seeing someone great for about 5 months now, and while we get along really well, he's six years younger than I am, and I think he may be used to a better standard of living and dating in his past relationships. The problem is that I'm a student and trying - especially in these days - to stay out of debt. How can I be romantic without spending a lot of money on eating and going out?

There is a song that says “Love don’t cost a thing”. This speaks volumes in your case… It’s time for “YOU ALL” not just you, to get creative.

There are tons of free things you guys can do to get your romance on such as:
· Making a playlist of your boyfriends favorite songs
· Have a romantic picnic in the park or beach
· Go to an art museum
· Read to each other
· Have romantic game nights by candlelight or romantic scavenger hunts
· Serve him breakfast in bed
· Create Love Coupons promising romantic favors
The list goes on and on. You just have to use your imagination.
Now, let’s dig a tad bit deeper (you know me) because I see something that causes concern… Now, you’ve mentioned that your boyfriend was 6 years younger than you are… Is this causing you to feel pressured into playing the Suga Momma/Daddy role? Just asking… If it is, trust me, leave that to Beyonce.
Never allow anyone to make you feel insecure. Period. The whole thing of “the standards” of what he’s used to is WACK! He chose you for you. Your relationship should only be based on the two of you as people... Nothing added, nothing taking away. You two are the only constant in this thing because in life circumstances change constantly. You will always be you.
If he can’t appreciate that you’re building a future at the present moment… exit stage left, thank you! Relationships are about give and take and compromise. He must meet you half way. Trust me if his feelings are genuine, nothing else matters. He’ll love you on Park Ave. just as well as he would in a regular ol park.
