I'm in school and only work part time, which is enough to meet my expenses but doesn't leave a lot left over. Even though I'm a woman, I feel a bit awkward about dating when I can't often offer to pitch in or pick up the tab. I don't feel like I should suggest we do something unless I can pay for it. If he asks *me* to do something I feel a little less weird about it. Besides, I pride myself on being self-reliant.
