    Especially in dating, I pay for my own food and drinks every time.

    Because I very acutely feel the expectations that are attached to something nominally free and dont want to deal with this kind of “debt”. Had to explain this fact quite often and some guys just never heard of the concept behind it called reciprocity, though they know the feeling of it.

    It just never clicked for them in that context.
