Posted: 12/5/2008 6:20:38 AM | | Yes it was a date, a date with a very odd man. I wouldn't have paid all of it, I would have left my half of the bill and told him, please never call again. Ok, that isn't what I would really say, but I can't put that on here or it would just be a lot of *****. | |

I'm sure the answer would have been interesting, haha.
Some boys just didn't learn what they needed to know from their fathers.
Have a great one, all. | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 7:13:35 AM | ^^^I'll go one better on this and say take your own transportation, and make sure you tell the waitress (either right there and then, or on your way to the restroom) to give you a separate check.
Then a guy like this can wave his bill at the cashier, it won't be your problem...if you even make it thru the whole meal.
To avoid any disagreements like this: just never let a guy you don't know drive you anywhere, and never go anywhere unprepared to pay for what you ate/drank/whatever. Cover yourself at all times. If you can't afford to pay your half, either suggest somewhere different or cancel plans.
Meh, this is the day and age we live in.

I am thinking of giving up on dating. I had a date last weekend, he was nice at first, we chatted then he said lets go for Pizza at Pizza Hut, I said sure. We had a pizza and 2 drinks, then he asked for the bill. The next thing I know he is holding the bill right up to my face and says, you are just like all the other women, who use me. I grabbed the bill and paid for it, I was more than mad, and told him you do not put me in the category of other women. I left. I suppose this forum will be erased, since you cannot say anything about the Good Olde Boys.!
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww that is kinda bad. I'm not sure you should let those actions ruin plenty of other opportunities for ya though. I mean really? Just cause you had a date not so great, in your opinion, does not mean the whole world stinks. Sure that is a natural instant reaction, but long-term it may not be in the best interest of harmony.
I don't mind paying for things when I get together with a gal. I particularly don't mind doing so in the beginning because most people I have found these days don't have a lot of money. And that's alright, but the point is you want to spend time with someone and have fun. It may cost you a few dimes, but when things are more comfortable you start doing things that cost you less money.
Chances are the guy you ran into has run into gold-diggers. It's a shame cause that really is insulting. I know I sure have run into some of those, but time tells all with people I believe. And the truth is all you can do is try....
The finish line has never been the goal! | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 7:32:56 AM | | The OP may not have been completely aware of what the idiot was; but that hardly allows her to be blamed for that situation. HE played HER, meaning that the blame lies with HIM. Now at least if this happens again OP; you know where to tell the ass to shove it where the sun don't shine and get the hell out of there. | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 7:40:42 AM | Jelica, sorry to hear about your experience. I've had a date like that in the past year. My thinking is... his loss not mine and thank God he displayed the behavior early on.
Don't give up just because of a jerk. There are good men out there. | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 7:43:49 AM | | This guy is a control freak. If he got you to pay this bill & you stuck around he has a sugar mama. He would bleed you dry then move on . Maybe I'm old school I expect to pay when out on a date no matter if my date makes more than me or not. I have had dates tell me that their taking me out & buying. But I still feel funny when their paying the bill at lest I want to pay the tip. good old boys don't take offence you know what she means. | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 7:59:28 AM | I would have asked the waitperson for a separate check and then I would have said that you can meet some real nutcases when online dating - in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear.  | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 8:46:05 AM | Don't think about giving up dating just because of ONE man.
This kind of behavior surprises me. I have been on bunches of dates (meets) with men from here and I always offer to pay. The majority of guys view this as an insult to their manhood.
They refuse to let me even help with the bill.
Yours is an isolated incident.... the next one will be better.
Good luck! | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 8:53:06 AM | | There are a few losers/users out there that are too cheap to pay for a pizza but they manage to have all those big boy toys such as SUV's, boats, stereo gadgetry, RV's, jetskis. Keep searching. Obviously, he wasn't a gentleman or a gem. Treasure the man who treats you like a princess! They are becoming more rare. | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 10:03:07 AM | So sorry this happened. Sounds like were a good sport, I mean, most women wouldn't really consider Pizza Hut their favorite dining establishment but so what? You didn't care, you just wanted to be with him. What a &*%$!
<div class='quote'> I also believe you were used by this man to get the bill paid. Personally, I would have thrown enough money for half the bill on the table, and I would have left.
I agree, however, I guess she was in a state of shock! Now warned for the next time something like this happens, which I hope it doesn't.
(and now I'm hungry for pizza.... again!) | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 10:07:57 AM | Wow - Pizza Hut! You must have thought he was a Rockefeller!!!!!!!! and you didn't put out on top of it? What a gold digger you are! You should have asked him how much it costs to feed the palm of his hand, because that will be his date from now on.

Posted: 12/5/2008 10:14:24 AM | If this is the type of date that would send you packing from POF, I'd say that you need a bit thicker skin to be pursuing online dating.
I've heard and read about far worse first dates, and even been on a few myself.
Just get back in the saddle, because you can have some really great dates that'll make you forget about this one.
Keep fishin'  | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 11:05:46 AM | This is really deplorable behavior on that male's part. I will not characterize him by calling him a "man" because a "man" would never do that. Whatever triggered his reaction, it seems he decided he did not want to spend money. So he stooped to that level.
Chalk it up to experience and perhaps do a little more corresponding and talking on the phone, although I doubt this kind of mentality can be detected easily beforehand.
Just my 98 cents  | |

Professionals in their 40s do not go to Pizza Hut for rendezvous. That should have been your first clue. Obviously this person could not afford to be dating......
I am laughing at the thought that someone could actually think they are being used for pizza!
.
I agree with this poster. First off, (and here comes the food snob in me) I don't do chain restaurants (too many children running around and never any good wine) , buffets (I don't need a whole restaurant touch and sneeze on my food) or fast food places in my personal life. If a guy told me he wanted to meet me at one, date canceled. I'm not saying it has to be an expensive place, but it better have good food. All of the aforementioned, do not have food I would eat. I live in the NYC area and if the best thing a guy could come up with was a slice from the local pizzaria, then I it's a done deal. It's a wrap. BTW, Pizza Hut is disgusting on so many levels. That's the pizza snob in me coming out. Oh and Olive Garden isn't even remotely similar to italian food!
There was another thread and a pizza date and the guy didn't pay for the girls food. Come on guys. If you can't flip the bill for that, then really, are you expecting to impress someone you are meeting? | |
