 I'd just feel too uncomfortable having a boyfriend pay stuff for me. I don't like the possible idea of having invisible strings attached that could be used later if it's a bad breakup.If it's a committed relationship with long term involvement I might change my mind but that hasn't happened yet.. 
I've just seen way too many People's Court episodes where former couples fight it out on tv. While one person side claims was it  a gift the other person  turns around and says it's a loan.
These are my thoughts exactly Wrigley.
