From personal experience, understanding whether someone truly likes you can often be seen through their actions, especially when it comes to spending money. The phrase "If he's never spent any money on you he does not like you" resonates because financial gestures are a form of expressing care and prioritization. Many people underestimate the emotional significance behind small acts like buying a coffee, a gift, or even covering a meal. These aren't just about money but about his willingness to invest in the relationship. In my own experiences and those shared by close friends, men who show genuine interest typically want to make you feel valued, and contributing financially is an easy way to demonstrate that. However, this perspective should also be balanced with understanding individual circumstances. Not everyone’s financial situation will allow for grand gestures, and love can be shown in many different ways beyond money. Still, persistent lack of any effort to contribute anything tangible might suggest disinterest or lack of commitment. Ultimately, spending money isn’t the sole measure of affection but can be a reliable indicator when combined with other signs like emotional support, time spent together, and communicating openly. Paying attention to these subtle financial cues, alongside other behaviors, helped me better navigate and evaluate the authenticity of romantic relationships.
