He would always come by my house and have dinner and never brought as much as a bottle of water. I took him to a play and covered the cost of the play and dinner. Afterall, I invited him out and that is what I should do but when he invited me out, things were different.

He picked me up but complained that his car was not working well , so we used mine to go to the movies, then he paid for the movie tickets on a two for one night and offered me nothing to eator drink during intermission. I was hungry so I gave him my money and asked if he could get me a snack and a drink. He came back with several things and my money was all spent.

I asked him back for my money and reminded him that he invited me out. He returned my money and I never went out with him again.

I don't mind splitting the bill sometimes but I am old school. If you invite me out, please pay. If I invite you out, I'll pay. If you are broke, tell me, we can split the bill. Isn't that fair?doh mumbling

Invited round to someones house, good manners alone would make me take along some flowers and wine. And if I invite someone to the movies I fully expect to pay.Today many folk go "dutch" nothing wrong with that as neither should expect something for nothing, but, if you invite someone for dinner,a movie or a night out unless the host should probably expect to pay unless the cost is extremely prohibitive then it should made clear before the date that both parties are paying their own way.....But even then I as the host would expect to pay for the extras ie a concert or theatre with expensive tickets I would pay travel and drinks/food etc.....JMO

If I invite someone around, I take great joy in preparing and buying and really making them feel welcome...

If I get invited around or out... I always ask if I can bring something... even if the answers no, I take something appropriate to the type of function...

If I stay with someone - I accept whatever they are offerring, but I put in either with gifts or money...

I would feel embarrassed to not contribute... because any friendship is a partnership of sorts... and both parties have to contribute to show appreciation of the other...

I cannot stand mean, tightfisted people for no other reason except it speaks volumes about how much they will not want to " give of themselves"

but fortunately, I meet few of these kind...

Cheers wave

Wow are you a pushover; you kept giving and giving and in typical female style, now you complain about it.

You should have stopped this the second it happened.

This guy is a dog and a user; very easy to see. Women wait WAY too long before they get it, then they blame the guy for it. You chose him remember.
