Dear Amy: I'm a 50-year-old man and I find myself lost in a difficult situation. I'd like your unbiased opinion.

I've been dating a 50-year-old woman for almost four months. I am always the one to ask for dates, and she never offers to help defray any expenses when we go out.

I make more money than she does, and don't expect her to meet me anywhere near 50/50, but it would be nice to have her cook me dinner once in a while, or take me to the movies, or show some small investment.

I've mentioned it, but there hasn't been any movement toward reciprocation. I feel unimportant as a result. What are your thoughts?

— Mike

    He needs to check his mailbox for a bill.  He has maybe been dating a hooker.

    Call me old fashion, but he is 50 and makes more money. Yes, he needs to pay for dinner.

    Sounds like she agrees with me.

    Maybe. But it sounds like she isn't making any effort at all - never calling, never buying anything, etc. IDK.Even for 50, I think if you're on the dating scene in 2012 you need to realize that courting isn't a one-way thing anymore.

    I'm going with hmo's theory.

    <div>He does need to pay for dinner, but she also needs to call and do small things to show she is interested.  It's not always financial.</div>

    You are right. She doesn't sound into him.
