How should I bring it up?
I had an overnight date with someone I’ve met several times, and of course we had an intimate relationship as well.
I usually receive cash from his wallet at the end of the date.
The date was so much fun that I felt really satisfied by the end, and I know it was also my fault for forgetting, but…
I didn’t realize until I got home that I had forgotten to receive my allowance.
We already have plans for our next date, so I’d like to receive it then.
How should I bring it up without offending him and still make sure I receive my allowance?
I sent him a message thanking him for the date, hoping he might bring it up himself, but he didn’t mention the allowance at all.
Something similar happened with someone I used to date several times. During trips like that, he either reduced the amount or didn’t give me an allowance at all.
At the time, I wondered if it was because he had more expenses than usual on the trip, but I felt uncomfortable bringing it up. After that, the reduced payments—or no payment at all—continued, so we eventually ended things.
It makes me extremely distrustful and wonder if he’s hoping to have an intimate relationship for less, or even for free, if he can get away with it…
He’s a very kind and wonderful person, and I’d like to continue this relationship, but honestly, receiving an allowance is an essential part of it for me.
I’d really appreciate advice from both women and men.
Thank you.

Unless he’s extremely wealthy, he probably remembers whether or not he gave you a five-figure allowance.
Unfortunately, if he still hasn’t said anything, there’s a good chance he’s deliberately pretending it didn’t happen.
In that case, he may take offense no matter how you bring it up. Since you don’t want things to get awkward during the date, tell him before your next date.
For example, you could message him on LINE:
“I didn’t receive the allowance from our last date. Would it be possible to receive both payments next time we meet?”

How about sending something simple like:
“I had a really great time on our date and felt satisfied when we said goodbye, so I’m partly to blame for forgetting too, but I realized after I got home that I forgot to receive my allowance.”
If they say they’ll give it to you next time, then that’s fine.
But if they say something like, “I thought covering the travel expenses was meant to be the present, so I didn’t think I needed to give you an allowance,” then I think you should give up on getting the allowance for this trip and make sure to turn down any future travel invitations from that person.
It hurts not to receive the allowance this time, but think of it as a learning experience and continue seeing them while making sure you receive your usual allowance.
I hope they simply forgot.

You should gently point it out right away—before you meet again. If he doesn’t give you the allowance for both meetings next time, block him.
If it’s only once, he may have genuinely forgotten. But if he doesn’t sincerely apologize or tries to haggle, then he did it knowingly, and you should report him.
