4 signs that you are dating a cheapskate

Dating a moocher? Here are 4 signs that you are

You meet someone and you click right off the bat, and then you go on a couple of dates, and start hanging out more, and then you soon see a pattern emerging – he or she is a moocher.

A moocher goes by many other names too like freeloader or cheapskate. 

At first, you don’t seem to mind, because you think at some point it will even out. But, alas, with your rose-tinted glasses, you’re woefully misguided.

Every relationship has a healthy amount of give and take, but there are some relationships where it’s awfully skewed.

Here are 4 signs that you have a moocher or cheapskate on hand.

1. Date Nights:

His date nights involve something low-key like movie at his place or a stroll by the beach. But when it’s your turn it involves more spending significant money. In the off-chance, he does decide to spend he’ll make loud disclaimers about it being a one-time thing, and not to expect this to be a regular activity. Don’t be surprised if you’re expected to chip in for the tip.

2. Personal ATM:

Out together? And he suddenly spots something that he sees, and next thing you know you’re paying for it because he’s conveniently “forgotten” his wallet behind. This also happens when you’re on your way to meet him and he asks you to pick up stuff for him because its on your way. He always prefaces it with he’ll repay you, but it never happens.

3. Fluid concept of “Ours”:

Ever notice how a cheapskate lacks boundaries. He or she will happily encroach on your things now because he or she feels entitled to do so. Look a little closer, because when you inadvertently try the same thing, you get the third degree for touching and using their things without their permission.

4. You’ve been given the heads-up:

With emotions clouding your judgement, it’s your friends and family have to step in and knock some sense into your head. It may take a while to get there, but when the rose-tints are off, you yourself experience the classic ‘A-ha’ moment.
