But some people just like giving (sharing).

I cannot easily receive, I'd rather give. Very slowly I'm learning to receive without thinking of how to repay (or whether the giver expects something in return).

I've always paid my own way to be on the safe side . When I was young, and a male invited me to the pictures and refused me paying my own ticket, I made sure to buy sweets galore to get financially even.

Then, if holding hands and kissing and so forth developed, it would be because both wanted to - and not 'goods' bought.

I am good at trading everything for pancakes. I am slowly getting to that tradition again when I had friends coming over with eggs and milk and flour, sometimes even cooking oil. I have the frying pan and jam.

Pancakes - you said the word.

See!

What about cardamum buns and nice little pies with frankfurters? Those just got some of my firewood chopped.
