is this okay?

Is this still okay to pay for yourself when you go out with somebody 15-20 years older than you?

This happened to me not too long ago when I went on a date with a litterately sugar-daddy, but who after all pleasant things dinner-desert-coffee looked very upset to say good bye to me instead of getting me in his suit. He claimed as it was every man and woman truth that when a lady allows to pay for herself it always means that she's ready for more.dunno
He got me just speachless, I coudnt even confront such an outrageous statement!

How this works with you?
Any opinions are very welcome.

NEw one on me Aisha. Don't look back...lol.
I always offer to pay, but if the lady would like to go Dutch ( 50/50) I accepted it ! I don't look for anything in return, but hope for a second outing , but most of all I am thank full for the company wine cheers
Hi Calliwave lol these men are just a treasure!laugh
Danny, so very goon on you, thinking you are a real gentlemenpeace
Btw it's Sweden not Dutchdunno but okay good people can live everywherelaugh
well am not taking a woman out and having her pay no matter she insists or not.
she can buy a drink if she likes but thats about it.

its the decent thing to docheers
No, that's what we say around here when splitting the bill ,(going Dutch ) ! laugh so any plans to see him again?
well what a gentleman he sounds like...the mans a real goofball if he said that.....absurd...drinking
@Aisha..... No one told you to date someone 15 to 20 years older than you, and who cares about who pays, stay home and make a tv dinner.
Hi Tormented, very good point, what if 1 drink is not enough for your lady?laugh just kidding, I know with your manners u'll get a decent onelaugh
Danny, no, not yet, it's not to pleasant to spend the time with a tight daddy, I believe I deserve somebody better than thatdunno
GoDaniel, please dont tell me what to do, deal with your personal drama yourself please.
Hi LeahKatrine, yes, totally agree with you, I also thought that this type of relationship with older man is supposed to be romantic by its nature, but now I see I was mistaken.
Lol Dani1, thanks for your supporthug have we got another sad troll herelaugh doh
Excuse my disruptive mumbling , but he needs to understand , he going to come across some one that going to lite him up with a rude awaking .

Back to your blog, I'm saying especially If I enjoy her company(no romance yet or feelings involved ) I would do anything to try another date with the person, not coming off desperate , a sure gratitude for the company wine
makes me wonder where do they get that from, are there really women out there that rewards dinner and movie and a little conversation with her body?
i hope you give him no second look or thought.
No thank you is needed , you've been here with some good bloggers (Happy369) and seen how the people who made this place great get banned while the troll stays angel
aisha, in my opinion that was completely inappropriate. He should never have expected anything from you. If you wanted to pay that is your prerogative. However keep in mind that mostly likely for people from an age 15 to 20 years older than you it is not the way it is done. Old fashion I know but still times may change but people change even slower.

I say he was going to say what he did no matter what you did. Forget him. You deserve better!
How does this work for me ? After dinner, I make a trip to the restroom and stop by the register to pay for everything, then return to my date that's sitting at the table. If or when she inquires about our meal checks, I say that I already picked it up. Haven't yet had a date to insist on paying.
yay Hey Aisha! : I miss you girl!! Btw: You are grown! And you has your own opinion. And i also agree with Torment, comment too! . . . . hug
Yes my manner surely needs a bit of work Aisha...a good slap here and there does me no harm.

drunk women can get very emotional Aisha...certainly no more than 5 , but am a good listener rolling on the floor laughing

was his name Virgo laugh
hmmmm....thats so sweet, I wish all men here were something like you!
I mean, I also encounter this sort of situation first time in my life, but was just wondering maybe men don't tell this at my face but mean this? And I'm trully happy to know that they dont, at least some of themlaugh Because, you know, I already started to think that there might be something wrong with my age, like you know, maybe I dont look very much like a kind of girl which men so willingly agree to take care offmoping
B&B, thank you for your comment, sounds very encouraging, yes, and he looked very much like a old-good-fashioned gentleman thats why his words just crashed my world.
@Whtwb , were you once asking about Happy369 , once on my blog? I think I remember you in a cartoon wig commenting about her! Well not to long ago(Monday or Tuesday ) some one emailed me (saying) she was headed to Cape Town for (I plum for got ,so my own words ) top secret work ! dunno something of the sorthandshake
Hi CuddleS, what sweet manners! But honestly I would scarry me a little bit if my man gone together with his walletlaugh J/k
Hi Angelhug how its going here? me? grown? got some wrinkles or something?laugh
but yeah, you right, life goes on and we dont stay same place either.
Tormented, I usually cant talk after the 4thlaugh doh just smile and try to mind my posture.
But you right, you are a very good listener, very patient but very interrogative on the other hand, let your lady drink 5 drinks huh! what a smart way!laugh
GoDaniel's comments went poof from this blog.
I really feel sorry, when somebody seeks attention in that way.
Sometimes it's very healing to stay alone together with yourself only and try to figure out whats wrong with yourself and what should be done about this.
I'm sure, when he's back in peace with himself, balanced and polite, everyone will be very happy to see him.back.

"it always means that she's ready for more." ??

More food or more Lovin laugh

its just that time of the month for the other Dan.
after he gets over his little fit he'll be a nice boy again.

Yes there will be a man out there that wants to care of you Ashia,don't doubt it.

thank you Angel...its only natural for the man to pay(its just a thank you gesture really).
Danni, no wasnt me, however I do miss Happy very much and wish her all the best in her endeavours, and in her future, no matter together with you or withoutlaugh sorry, girls love can be a bit egoistictongue j/k. Do you two still communicate?
Nonsmoker, I definitely couldnt do more food in that caselaugh
Almost same sure about the second, but only with a right man.
Tormented,
How are you, Still on the right side of the wall I see.
Good to see you wave

Aisha00, well not in a sense, some people she's FB friends with get words back to me , and vise versa!
I truly am sorry for my out bust on the other Daniel , he didn't deserve it , but you were the 20th person he done that to! Maybe when things cool down with him, I'll make my peace with him, but he has to show he over this attention seeking persona ! beer

Oh dear, you do not wanna hear my opinion...grin
I remember one old saying; "Don't trow dimonds to pig as it will end in mud " so you need to show value of your self standard by keeping distance from careless/rood man that has no manners how to behave. Good luck. wave
I think I have lost the plot here....woman bemoan the fact that they are treated as less in the workplace and would want to be treated as equals in all instances...hence "women's lib". I recall and instance some time ago, where a woman reprimanded a guy for holding the door open for her and basically told him that he was insinuating that he was somehow superior to her by this very action.

My point is this...it is either or and not both....you cannot demand to be treated equally when it suits you and then basically call a guy a lout for not wanting to pay for your meal....his age is totally irrelevant or is there another book of etiquette that I am not aware of ? I wish the women of the world would make up their minds as I am totally confused as to what they really want ??? Has it perhaps occurred to you that he could not afford to pay the meal and does it make him any less of a person because of this ??? unless you have walked a step in his shoes, don't judge the guy.
I don't think age has anything to do with who pays on a date as long as both are working adults.

I have gotten careful, because there are guys out there who think with paying for a meal they buy a bit more (and there are women out there who will use a guy for getting a nice meal and nothing else).

If I meet someone in RL, get a good feeling about him and we go for a meal, it is ok if he insists on paying if I think there will be another date where I could pay or invite him for a home cooked dinner. If I get the feeling it will be the first and only date, I would insist paying.

When I met someone in the past through internet dating, I made some things clear beforehand.

It seems to me that he was expecting something in return. That said, it is quite difficult these days to know if you go "dutch" or if the man picks up the tab. I think I would rather pay for my meal and say good day!!I think the age part is irrelevant, thats my opinion but maybe it could have been made clear from the start or maybe it is better to know the man before accepting a night out!?
Hi, sounds a bit ageist to me..I am sure this situation could happen regardless of the mans agedunno
Getting back to the point of the blog, I would normally offer to pay the bill, but for no other reason other than what I feel it is the appropriate response of a gentleman.... wine
