Come Sit on Mama Lap! Signs You Might Be a Sugar Mama

6. You Try to Buy His Love

Some women do this subconsciously because they feel they are not worthy of a man’s love – so they try to show a guy how much they love him by showering him with gifts, paying his rent or taking care of him financially. While a man who is truly into you won’t accept your exorbitant gifts and will insist on taking care of himself, a man who is using you for money will use it as leverage and make you feel guilty if you don’t share your money with him. He’ll say things like “if you loved me, you’d buy me this” or “help me out” – and because your low self-esteem can’t see past his bull, you do it because you feel that is the only way you’ll gain his affection.  It may be cliché, but love don’t cost a thing…so if you feel his love is contingent on your spending your hard earned dough, then leave him alone and go see a therapist.
