| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/11/2009 12:17:12 PM | | I would've threw my half on the table and walked out without saying a word to him. Although it would've been hard to not tell him what I really thought of him. I would be infuriated! Holy...I probably woulda beat the **** outta him! Kudos for keeping your composure!! | |

I suppose this forum will be erased, since you cannot say anything about the Good Olde Boys.! No, just try and show others the same respect you so clearly demand.
and told him you do not put me in the category of other women. This guy was an ass hat all on his own. | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/11/2009 7:30:58 PM | Wow that guy probably has some serious issues... I would've just tore that check in half and not bother paying at all. Wow, I am shocked.

If you’re one to follow classical dating roles and want to fulfill yours (men: to take the lead, be the first to ask a date, and pay for everything, and women: to allow men to do this), simply state so upfront? I don’t think many women have a problem with men paying for everything -- taking the lead in picking where to go and what to do might be a tad too controlling, though. But if many women are perfectly OK with this arrangement and want the roles undiluted and perpetual, just say so in the beginning.
I prefer this manner of dating in the beginning. I also like it when a guy opens the car door for me, helps me with my coat, holds the door open and allows me to enter first, walks on the curb side of the sidewalk.... so I am old fashioned in how I define dating preferences for me.
I am a believer that men like to pursue the lady, and be the aggressor. Part of this role includes footing the bill. I prefer to be the object of the chase and not the one doing the chasing. In the beginning, I don't ask the man out. I would prefer that he set the lead, and determine the timing. If that means I wait, so be it.
After several dates and a proven connection, then I might feel comfortable asking the man out without risking the appearance of desperation. However, I feel whoever does the asking, foots the bill. When dating becomes a relationship, that is when finances become a more shared responsibility. When you are sharing each other's beds and bodies, sharing your finances in not a big deal. | |

| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/14/2009 4:39:02 AM | While I consider pizza hut where you take your kids and drunk college classmates for the all you can eat buffets, I find it funny on the women dissing the joint.
I'd say, cheap, expensive, chain or not....It doesn't matter! The meal is NOT the point of the date.
You want to go to a place where you can talk quietly, not be disturbed by kids or drunk college kids and not worry about the food (no buffets and fast foods-place with a wait staff).
I personally don't like Pizza Hut (I got food poisoning twice in PH overseas), but if a date wanted to take me to one without kids and college kids, I would be more than happy to go.
A memorable date is made by the person across from you, not the plate in front of you. | |

| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/14/2009 6:56:52 AM | I would have looked at him real sexy. Stood up give him a great sexy smile and all the time crumble the bill in my hand and bend over and throw it at him.
Some men are real JERKS | |

Don't forget the cleavage flash before walking out | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/14/2009 7:46:30 AM | Was he serious? He may have been just giving you a hard time. But still leaving was a smart move. What a dumbasss.  | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/14/2009 8:03:24 AM | sooooooooooo
lemme get this straight....
he stuck the bill in your FACE..
insulted You....
and
you grabbed it and PAID
are you KIDDING ME??
that individual would have been sitting at that table.. by himself.. preparing to wash dishes..
***********************************************
it's one thing if it is discussed beforehand but, to come outta nowhere and insult someone...is uncalled for and deserves 50 lashes with a wet pasta noodle....wow!

| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/14/2009 7:34:36 PM | | What amazes me is these guys that have "dating" on their profile. Once you meet them their idea of dating is sitting at his place all the time watching movies. Then when you confront about the way they are acting, they delete you and ignore your calls. A friend was involved with a guy, they were BF/GF for about a month, she questioned the way he responded to a phone call that she made to him..... subsequently she got deleted from everywhere and he ignores her calls. Like that where's his balls??? Doesn;t evne have the maturity to tell her, he is breaking up with her.... WOW real mature. | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/14/2009 10:02:53 PM | Don't give up on account of one jerk. There are still lots of us men who believe in chivalry and would welcome the chance to take you out on a "real" date ML | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/15/2009 3:48:46 AM | You're being ridiculous assuming threads bashing men are deleted. Also you're being ridiculous by basically bashing men.
In response to your main uh... concern? I can't believe this guy made a fuss like that over a bill at *Pizza hut*.
I personally don't like picking up 100% of the bill with women, the moment you spend 50+ bucks on them, they try hard not to reciprocate. However, pizza hut? Really?
I mean... wow... Did you ask him if he's frequently used by women to get free pizza? He might need to look into a better class of woman if that's the case.
Oh and btw, paying isn't optional. So for all those saying they would walk out and refuse to pay it doesn't work that way. However, you're well within your rights to pay for only what you ate, get the person to split the bill. Leave him on his own.
I can't help but think there's more to this story though, either that or he skipped his meds that day. | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/15/2009 2:07:31 PM | | wow what an ***hole it gives the rest of us nice guys a bad rep sorry too hear shaking my head still what a loser! | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/17/2009 4:04:00 AM | | I totally agree with you widow....whoever does the asking should foot the bill. Iw as dating a guy for a short time (ended up being an ass) that stated that he didn't beleive int he guy always having to foot the bill. Since that day we never went anywhere, our dating consisted of rented movies at his house. Anytime I suggested going out somewhere there was always an excuse...that night doesnt work for me, oh I know you'll be too tired etc. Like if I was too tired why the hell would I have asked in the first place. Seriously I think guys need to wake up!!!!! oh a p.s. I was willing to split the cost of things IF we went anywhere, we still never did.. | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/17/2009 4:57:47 AM | That isn't the case with every man. I have had a guy go with out electricity for a few months so he could afford to take me on vacation after dating him for only a few months.
The guy you dated was a tool monkey. | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 2/17/2009 12:37:05 PM | I heard/read something somewhere ...
Someone referred to online dating as having become an 'extreme sport'.
LOL
Sadly - this seems to be the case. Anything goes. Nothing is out of bounds. Any behaviour is 'okay'. Life as we once knew it is over.
I would like everyone to treat me as I would treat them - especially on a date. Why can't people just have a bit of respect for someone else?
RE: pizza hut and complaining about bill... LOL Now there is someone that needs a reality check. | |
|
| I call that "bad for my gender" Posted: 3/19/2009 9:16:27 PM | Doh ! Just our luck some bozo gets to represent our gender and that's the best he can come up with. Unbelievable. If a guy can't spring for Pizza, he should at least bring that up first, not after. Man,,,,,
You truly need to sift the guys out online before you commit to see them. Maybe you'll notice the deadbeats that way. Fingers crossed. That guy probably went home to his mothers house and cried on her shoulder. Mean old women. sigh And I would go to a better pizza joint as well. sheesh Better luck next time, bobcat666 | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 3/19/2009 9:57:49 PM | | A man complaining about a Pizza Hut bill....that is very funny.....lol......Just be glad that you found out how cheap and strange he was from the start. | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 3/20/2009 2:31:32 AM | What was his tone when he said that? Maybe he was joking. Then again if he's a good olde boy he's probably a redneck and rednecks do stupid shit like that.
I'm not sure what advice I can give you other than, if it was a bad joke I say shrug it off, but if he's serious, ditch him and never look back. | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 3/20/2009 6:03:53 AM | Not a 100% but it sounds like he dose that all the time and gets a free ride with meals. Sheesh if that was me I would have got up and walked out.
Ladies if you are invited out to a meal or a drink. Then you are invited out they pay. If you invite them you pay.I have offered to pay in the past and the guys were insulted that I offered to do so.If some guys dont want to pay they should take you for a coke and a packet of crisps lol.
On a first meet or otherwise I dont/wont go to the ritz and build a huge bill.I'm happy to have a coffee or a drink. And for the record when at a pub or simular for a drink. I very rarely if ever have anything but a coke.
Gents never discuss the bill they just pay it discreetly.  | |
|
| You call this Dating? Posted: 3/20/2009 7:15:18 AM | | You had "A date". Good grief, one date and you're complaining because he more than likely wanted to go dutch? Okay, the guy was indeed an idiot. But realize that dating is a numbers thing. You go out with a number of people until you can compare, and find someone that has chemistry. Also, what do you want? The guy that pays for everything? Buys you roses too? Those days of guys sucking up to women like that are over. Well, they are not, but you go out with those types, and two days later they want to marry you. And you want to run for the hills. | |
