“How much do you have in your CPF?”
“Do you own your house?”
“How much do you earn?”
Sir…
is this a date or a financial audit? 😂
Dating culture can be funny, but I wouldn’t judge a man’s provider energy simply by whether he suggests coffee, MRT or an expensive dinner.
Watch the intention and behaviour behind it.
Does he plan?
Does he consider your comfort?
Does he make an effort?
And most importantly…
does that effort remain consistent after the first date?
Because an expensive first date doesn’t automatically make someone a provider.
And a simple first date doesn’t automatically mean he isn’t one.
Provider energy is something you observe over time—not something you calculate from the dinner bill.
That’s exactly what I explore in Provider Energy vs Commitment.
