Are men that cheap they don't offer you a drink at the movies anymore? ( Archived) (70)

I too went out on a movies date and the guy didnt bother to buy a soda or popcorn. I also had to buy my own hot chocolate! I said to myself gee what tightwad! Never saw him again, and he did want a second date too!!

he waned another cuz he figured you were a cheap date!!

What the hell is wrong with these guys????... those give us a bad name

or they make us look pretty damn good when we deliver!!!

haha yeah that's right

True that

That's funny! Hey maybe it was rent time..lol. Guess he could have at least stuffed a couple of cans in your purse! That's probably what I would have done if I was broke! Baby I hope you like Pepsi I probably would have taken you to cenima cafe and got you drunk Kidding!
You would have gotten something to drink even if I had to pay my rent late

On a serious note, it’s good to hear a lady say gentlemen are not a dying bread as I don’t date men so it was an assumption on my part.

In today’s world it’s not all that clear to most men who buy’s what on the date.

If I ask a woman out I totally plan to buy as I believe it is the gentlemanly thing to do. There are times for Dutch and a s a 21st century guy there is times for her to buy

I was on a date recently and she kept acting strangely every time I paid for something it was as if she thought I was going to expect/demand that because I was buying that she was obligated to do me at the end of the date. She kept saying “Just because you paid for that doesn’t mean you know” I tried to make her feel comfortable about it but it was clear she did not and by the end of the date I did not even want to kiss her because of what I thought she might think. What’s sad is I am not like that, if I give without expectation of any return.

Any input would be appreciated.

And in closing I am a great tipper when the deserved. Anybody who brings me food I my hero and deserves all I can give or at least 35%

You wanted input so here is mine.

I will go out with someone and of course I expect them to pay for the date. If I know them well enough to go someplace with them, they know my work situation and I know what they told me. If they complain about being broke, of course I won't be going anywhere with them if they did ask. Yes, men do that, and it's annoying to hear a 45 - 50 year old man say that, to a woman they just met!

Lately, since I am meeting these guys for the first or second time, coffee is usually what happens. Lunch has happend a few times, and one dinner.

One guy was nice enough to come over and install a sound card (that I had already bought) for me and he had some speakers he didn't want. I made us BLT's, baked beans, etc... It all worked out ok. I didn't want to take advantage of his good nature, and his time.

But there was no "chemistry" there and it's been two weeks since last contact. I don't miss him, and apparently he doesn't miss me. He did seem to have some issues with what he was having to pay in child support, and grumbling about that is a complete turn off. I certainly was not about to agree with him, and I didn't think he got a raw deal anyways.

That is just one example of a recent online brief 'relationship' and I have found myself again without any prospects.

I do believe in preparing a meal on the grill or whatever for someone who has treated me out. But I need to feel comfortable enough to bring them into my home, meet my son etc.

I would like YOUR opinion on something, but I'll wait and see if you have time to read the situation. ;)
