Dating and Money in Cambodia

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

You had a total of $20 with you Mr. Foreigner with money. And she is playing you for what? That is precious!
Probably not and I don't carry too much cash around either but if you are planning on a night out and having a feed then there is every chance $20 may not cut it.
Girls like to have a nice drink , cocktail perhaps, and a dish a bit more than they would normally have so be prepared . I got caught short one night and borrowed some cash off the girl to settle the bill but gave it back straight away when we got home.

We all fuck up at times and she may have been a bit ancy but if she likes you enough she will get over it. Shout her a pair of shoes and you will be in her good books again. =@

Already the 3rd post here today about 1, 3 and now 5 dollar. When my (Khmer) partner invites friends to eat/drink with me, they always pay for everything, even my tab. So no, it's not usual to have to pay for everyone your partner knows or invites. When I invite them, I know I am the one that pays.

Rule #1: You invite, you pay.
Rule #2: A woman's company always costs money. No matter your age.
Rule #3 Remember Rule #1 and Rule #2.

I disagree on that one. For fun maybe but I wouldn't consider a serious relationship with someone unwilling to pull it's own weight.

I'm not talking about hookers, Boyfriend and girlfriend, husband and wife; you will pay one way or the another.
