yeah man...poor kid...

I think he even had the baseball cards in his bikes wheels to make it sound cool!!!

I soooooooo remember those days when we had the cards in our bike wheels. Man that was cool...Well at the time anyways

So what movie did you see?

So he looked to be very young, and you were "a good person" to accompany this "kid".

Rather than go, why didn't you just ask him why he looks so different from his picture, tell him he looks too young for you and he should try to find someone his own age.

You also say that you would have paid for the second movie?
He could probably sense that you wouldn't be seeing him again.

If he felt inadequate around you, why would he want to spend time with you again?

You could not graciously get your own soda and chalk it up to a "dutch treat" date?

I would not see him again either, but I would do my best to not make him feel like crap, nor would I be dwelling on it.

I would have bought you a popcorn and a drink, then after taken you for a drink, would have paid for it too. Then a walk along a beach or lake or better yet we could have got a carriagewith horse, would have paid for that too and if all things went well and we were all over one another and WE aggreed to go there, I would have paid for the room as well. Again if that was what WE agreed to. Breakfeast on me forsure. Just put it on the visa that's waht it is for, right? Gentalmen are a dying breed.

i guess this is what happens when you go out with kiddies

He is the one who invited her on the date. It is customary for people to get popcorn and/or candy and a drink at the movies. Any man with a modicum of common sense and MANNERS would have asked her if she wanted any refreshments. If he didn't have but $4 to get into the movies with, he should have either told her that, or he shouldn't have waited to ask her to see the movie at a later time when he could afford to go.

I agree with you ...some guys are...

Gentlemen are NOT a dying breed.

Yes, everyone in this whole forum would have outdone a kid!

I thought a true gentleman OR lady for that matter is a person who does NOT make another feel uncomfortable, inadequate or stupid.

You would end the evening after the movie is over, thank them, and go home and be glad that you were not mistreated any further than NOT GETTING A COKE !

Are we talking about a kid who looked 12 or a 30 year old man?

How gallant is all the talk about who would buy her this or that?

I went to a bar with a guy once, he was a real tightwad.
He paid for my beer and left her 25 cents. I was mortified.

Beer and cost of living back in the 70's was way low but still a quarter? I pulled a buck out of my purse and left it there on the bar as we were leaving. I suppose the dollar was too cheap too, but it was about all I could afford too.

He didn't see it. Don't care who else did. I never saw him again, end of story.
