Well, looks like Clooney's no longer with the Italian broad. I was worried about him for awhile but now I see I had nothing to stress over. Of course his situation is different than any guy's here, one still can learn good behaviors from celebs 
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
