I think he should pay for these meals, not you. You are taking care of this man. You have opened your home to him and you've mentioned cooking for him several times. Do you ever go out to eat? Why are you always cooking for him? Don't you go out too? IMO, the man should treat the woman too, it should be 50/50, and most certainly a woman shouldn't carry the financial burden within a relationship. I find it strange that you're frequently cooking at home for him. Does this man live nearby to you? Does he ever invite you over to his home? Have you been to HIS home yet? Does he live alone or with roommates? What do you know of his living situation? A man who frequently travels on business could easily be in another relationship unbeknownst to you, and you could be his side dish, especially if you've never been to his home. Just sayin'. You need to still be wary of random strangers you meet on the internet - many ARE in relationships and want someone on the side. I think it would benefit you to ask to go to his home too. And see what his living situation is like. Ask him to invite YOU over for dinner and see what he says.
