We’re supposed to meet tonight.
Does he really mean that?
Honestly, I’m wondering, “Why?”
Should I reply, “Coffee is fine with me!” or something?

Wouldn’t it depend on the conversation leading up to “You’re treating me,” too?
What was the context when he said it (><)?
As for why he said it…
① Check the birthday listed on his LINE profile
② Is he someone who jokes around every time?
③ Was he trying to use this as an opportunity to get closer?
④ Was the man dissatisfied with the woman? (Did he feel she wasn’t worth the amount he paid?)
⑤ Did the man make the reservation, or was it a restaurant you requested?
I can’t say for sure, but maybe it was something along those lines?

Maybe the “feast” is actually you, the person asking the question?
He might want to eat you…

If I had to guess, I’d say it’s probably for his birthday.
If that’s the case, I’d even feel like treating him.
Still, I’m surprised there are men who would actually ask for that. Have things been okay with the people you’ve dated up to now?
He sounds like someone I’d be a little concerned about.

Thank you for your question.

My first impression was that he might be testing your reaction. I don’t know what your relationship with him is like, but he might be pleased if you treated him to a nice dinner!

The anniversary theory seems the most likely, but…
Let’s think carefully about what he really meant.
It depends on the nature of your relationship, but the moment you say something like, “I’ll treat you to coffee,” there’s a chance he may say goodbye.
If you’re in your 30s, try to be a little more composed.

Before thinking, “Why should I be the one paying?” shouldn’t you first be wondering what happened?
If you can’t even think that way, questioner, that’s a little…
Couldn’t it be a sign of something?

He may have some pent-up dissatisfaction with you.
People don’t normally say something like that.
Why not use this as an opportunity to ask your papa (a male supporter) what frustrations or concerns he has about you?

In those two years, did you really never have an opportunity to treat him—even on your papa’s birthday, for example?
Since you’re not sure how he feels about it, why not ask him? Just be careful to phrase it politely.
He may feel that he’s always the one doing things for you and would like to know that you care about him too, at least once in a while.

Maybe it was your papa’s birthday or another special occasion.
I can understand why you’d think, “Of course I’m supposed to be treated—there’s no way I’m treating him!” But from the idea of offering to pay for something as simple as coffee, maybe after two years together, your papa just wanted to see how you’d react, lol.
He’s the kind of papa who hadn’t brought it up during those two years, right? Since things have lasted two years according to your own give-and-take radar, maybe that’s the reason, lol.
Shouldn’t you be wondering whether something is missing?
If he genuinely wanted to be treated, couldn’t he easily do that himself? Maybe choosing something as light as a meal was a hint that he wanted you to pick up on.
Ideally, you should build a relationship where he never has to ask you to treat him. But don’t you need a different kind of radar for situations like this? You need to be able to read a crisis—or turn it into an opportunity, I think.
Sorry if I’m off the mark, lol.

I couldn’t care less what some strange old guy thinks. You’ve been seeing him for two years, so you probably understand him better.
