She wants me to bring her bestie to a concert
I’m leaning against doing this, just based on a gut feeling, but I thought it’d be a relevant topic for discussion! We’ve been seeing each other for a few years and she has brought her friends over for sleepovers on occasion — unsolicited by me. I rarely spend any money on her (split almost everything 50-50) but I wanted to bring her to a particular music festival at the end of this month, so I bought us tickets. She immediately reciprocated and bought the hotel room. Now her bestie asked her if I would buy an additional ticket for her! Bestie was grabbing my arm and flirting with me at a Halloween party a few weeks ago. Like me, her bestie is a big fan of the particular music at the festival. She is fun, athletic, single, feminine etc but otherwise I know very little about her, or about her reasons for wanting me to BUY her a $200 concert ticket. For all I know, she could be trying to meet up with someone else at the festival — or maybe i’m just being TOO cynical 🤷🏻♂️ As a soon-to-be MOA student, I’m inclined to be just friends with her on whatever terms — but buying expensive concert tickets still feels like preferential treatment, for girls who I’ve already been friends with for a period of time. She gets a high level of stimulus from her social media, so perhaps she doesn’t think there’s anything unusual about making such a bold request. Perhaps she just wants to feel desired by me before she spends the night with us at the hotel. EXPLAIN your reasoning in terms of MOA principles why you would or wouldn’t buy a ticket for her bestie (assuming you can easily afford it 3x)
