Your Girlfriend Said She Doesn't Date Broke Men. You Let Her Prove She Isn't Broke.

Three weeks in, a woman you have taken to lunch twice points at an $1,800 handbag and tells you to buy it, because she deserves to be spoiled and because a real man would not stand there counting. Then she tells you she does not date broke men. So you ask the shop assistant to turn the card reader round and hand it to her, and you wait while the woman who just priced you works out that she cannot pay for it either. She leaves her wallet on the counter. It is not designer. Was that fair, or should a man just buy the bag and find out who she is later?
