Advice on Reverse Role Dating?

Ive been friends with this girl who I met through volunteering for a while. Recently she's coming on to me. She asked for my # and when we talk about something volunteer related she would ask me personal questions.





I guess it's going well so far. We hung out a few times, but it's usually with the entire volunteer group. She always tries to get me to stay after our volunteer meetings to grab something to eat or asks me to drive her home.





The only thing Im wondering about is she's like 7-8 yrs older than I am, and she has a stable fancy job, and Im still 20 y/o in college. Everytime we hang out, she always picks up the tab even though I offer to pay for us both or at least for my portion. She always says that it's okay b/c she knows I don't make much money at my job.





I feel like I don't want to be unfair. And Im not sure how it will go if it stays like this w/ the age and financial thing. Anyone have ideas/advice about dating older girls?Advice on Reverse Role Dating?
I wouldn't get too involved seriously with this woman if I was you. She's trying to experience being with a younger man and some women get a kick out of having the upper hand in the relationship and believe me, that if she's spending her money all the time, she thinks she has the upper hand and eventually she's going to lose respect for you because she's going to start questioning why she's with a man that can't do anything for her. I've been in her shoes before and it gets old after a while. I got tired of always picking up the check and I started feeling unappreciated as though I could do better. You start off trying to help the person out because you know that they are having financial difficulties but then you start wanting him to stand up and be a man. Your age difference isn't a lot but If I was you i would talk to her and tell her that you would feel better if you contributed to the relationship so she doesn't feel as though she is taking all of the burden. You want to at least feel as though you're the man in the relationship and that you are capable of treating her like a woman. She will appreciate your efforts and respect you for it.
