I'm very independent, and before I retired, I had a very good salary. So I have always believed that it was only fair for me to pick up a tab or two and was always surprised when some women said this would offend them.
For a first date I'll let the guy pay if I like him. If I am not interested I'll insist on paying for my own.
but that guy had SOOOOOO much more money than you
Lol Mr. Moneybags wasn't given the opportunity to pay for me.0 -

Red flags about me:
High strung personality. I also like to be in control. I'm a man. Sue me.
Don't know if I want to get married or not. I like to have options at least currently.
Pretty sure I don't want kids. I love kids don't get me wrong I love my nieces and nephew and would give them the world if I could but I am so happy when they go home lol. Also, I think I'd be a terrible dad especially if they get into trouble I'd turn into Ron Burgundy and tell them I'm not even mad, I'm quite impressed and proceed to tell them the stupid *kitten* I did as a kid rather than discipline them.
I like to get to know people and my personality can come acrosed as flirty so some. I'm just a a fun nice witty guy. If you can't stand me making a nice conversation with the waitress and you portray it as I want to get in her pants it won't work. Thats just me and I am not going to change.
I'm an extrovert and an introvert. I'm usually the life of the party but I need to be alone to recharge and some times I won't want to talk to anyone could be hours or days and just be in my own thoughts.
Red flags I look for:
Texts constantly and never calls or never picks up when I call. Or texts me while I'm at work expecting the conversation to continue all day. I have a very demanding job, I don't have time to make small talk with you. I will make time after work for you.
Wish washy. I want a woman who knows what she wants and has goals and is driven by those goals.
Dependant personality. I can't stand it, I am not going to hold your hand through everything. I love independent women.but not the type that are way too good for me to hold the door open. *kitten* I hold the door open for the old, young, male or female. Its just called being nice.
Doesn't ever do things without me. I have my own friends, I expect you to have your own friends and do things with them.4 -
My dinner table conversation is pretty weak. Lots of tuning out with some Mmm's and Hmm's thrown in.0

Yep, I really know how to pick 'em. *sigh*
And you stuck it out? 2 shoulda been a heavy purse to the fohead.
2 was awful! It ended up being comical. I didn't think it could get any worse and then it did, over and over. I forgot he insulted my car too. Laughed because it was a 2005. I laughed because I don't have a car payment.
Gotta kiss some frogs...
Does not sound like a frog there, more like a toad.0 -

I would not offended if it is later in the relationship. On the first date, I take it is a sign that you would not want the relationship to continue. It also depends on the type of date date.0 -

I think a gentleman should always pay on the first date, especially if he invites you. I personally will always be prepared to pay but it's a turn off to me when the man doesn't take the bill immediately as if he's waiting for me to pull out my wallet. I don't have an issue with paying, but it's a mental note for next time....IF there even is a next time.
ETA: I try to be considerate and not take his generosity for granted so I wouldn't order something super expensive even if he says..."order anything you like"4 -

I agree, gentlemen should pay. It changes when you realize your date is not a gentleman!3 -
Now back to the Red Flags..
If he brags too much about himself or even hints on how good he is in bed and how well endowed he is.....I'm out.6 -

What if he does the opposite and talks about what a loser he is and what a novice he is with very little to work with. You know... managing expectations.
I would prefer this over the former any day. Good strategy, letting me be the judge of how little he has.

Just do it my way so I don't have to waste my time doing it over again... 🙄😂0

If you tell me you've always "dated" ladies 10+ years younger than yourself but you're done with all that foolishness now and you're willing to open your heart and your loins to women your own age, I'm red flagging you. But just a little.
I'm also liquidating my pre-tax savings account dedicated to turkey neck trimmage, jowl lift and spider vein bleaching.
And you can cancel that scroetal lift you had scheduled and your Hair Club For Men membership.
Because what we'll have together just won't require all that. Wink wink.

But i hired an interior decorator to make my house look like someone actually lives there....maybe no pink towels, but definitely nothing i would have picked out on my own.
But the interior decorator you "hired" is your live in girlfriend.
