Hi! I have a guy friend who is really into me coming to see me in my city. He's never been here so I am going to be with him for a few days during his stay. He's not super rich, but I am not going to be his tour guide for free. How do I ask or suggest shopping spree (VS, Sephora, etc.) without it being awkward, since we are not dating, but he likes me?
Unfortunately I have no experience in this. I usually split the bill with men that a friends. One method that can work is going to the mall or a store and mentioning how cute something. Engage him and ask if if he wants to see it on you, etc. Make sure to read his body language closely. If he seems responsive go to the checkout and make no move to take out your credit/cash and see if he makes the first move. If he doesn’t then you have your answer.
