What do you make of my date?

odusgolp

So, my inordinately tall date and I go out for lunch. We meet and it's a tish awkward and first, but always is on a blind date. No biggy.

He immediately says something in regards to how he eats really healthy which launches into something about meat and slaughter houses and how he doesn't believe in killing animals. I... like my dead animals. I love a good steak. But alas, to each their own. I just find it an odd first topic as we look to order. He orders chicken and states he's not up for a greasy burger.... Ok.

From there, however, things got much smoother. Conversation flowing, good laughs, etc. Really, perfectly lovely date.

Then the check comes. He immediately grabs it, and I pull my wallet out of my purse. He shows me the bill ($21.89) and I throw in a $20. Awkwardly, he follows suit. The waitress takes it. He comments "I hope she doesn't think that's a $19 tip!" Then, when she does come back, he keeps the change after leaving $3 on the table.

Analyze....

He's a douche. And you didn't tell me he didn't like the whole killing animals thing. GOOD LORD. Have your way with him and move on.

Haha what a cheap guy! If he's not going to pay for the first date and talks about slaughter houses... he must be a bundle of fun on the second date :P

You deserve better!

No second date, he's a complete idiot. In this day and age women shouldn't expect a man to pay on a first date, especially if you don't know there will be a second, but going Dutch is the way to go. And chicken isn't an animal now?

In fact I think I may have dated him in the past

Kalee34

Really, he kept the change?
I'm sorry but that's just not right!

Qarol

umm, to eat chicken, you must first KILL the chicken. Usually...

shagybear33

I agree.....

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!! ;-)

skinnybearlyndsay

Say "sayonara" and move on. Anyone who's first topic of conversation is killing animals and is a cheap-skate needs to go. I can't believe he took all of the change. I would have asked the waitress to split the check if it was a first date.

deadstarsunburn

He should have at least split the bill with you. That was NOT classy at all, move on or else that's how your relationship would be all taking no giving.

MrsPike07

Wow....yeah I agree with the whole "have your way with him and move on" Who does that??? No decent man would even allow you to see the bill, in my opinion anyway. Yikes. Run!!!! :laugh:

Sometimes... you just gotta choke it.

academical

Not much of a gentleman really, you'd be better off not seeing him again... self-centered pillock.

ShinyFraga

he doesn't believe in killing animals, then orders chicken... um, maybe he needs a refresher course on the definition of animals? and keeping all the change? LAME! not a very good first impression if you ask me. I'd move on.

robin52077

so you paid 20 and he paid 5?
What a douche.
Not saying a man HAS to pay but at LEAST give you a ten back or something so it's close to even....

Michelle9939

If he's not willing to pay for the meal then he's not a keeper, IMO. And especially if the meal was that cheap.

JennLifts

uhhhh... unless you see some potential there.... I'd just keep your little caboose moving sister!

aquasw16

Uh yeah any guy who doesn't offer to pay for the entire first date isn't worth going out again. That is my rule. I will almost always offer to pay part but if he says yes or if he doesn't pay at all (makes me go through the awkward, whos gonna pick up the bill first thing) then I am not wasting my time again. The fact that you put in money and...he actually basically let you pay for much of the date. Selfish. Dont bother.

photorific

He doesn't like killing animals but ordered the chicken? Does he know that chickens don't grow on trees? Uh, and as far as the money thing goes... R.U.D.E! :noway:

joanieizme

Run!!!!!!! LOL

FearAnLoathing

he seem a lil douchey:huh:

Happy0326

if its a "date" NEVER pay for your own meal...ALLOW him to be a MAN! He didn't do anything wrong. You put in the money so he assumed you were paying. Don't offer what your not willing to really accept.

fitwatch

$40 in the pot for $25 bill, so there should be about $15 left. Maybe give you the change for a cab ride home? Oh what the heck, just take half the change....$7 and call it even. Best to just cover the sharing rules in advance - initiate the discussion in advance of the meal. "Let's agree to split the bill and use this meal to get to know one another." Good communications, no expectations.

Write off the change and try someone else.

danssmith

He shouldn't have shown you the bill, he should have just paid it. That's the rule. Its $20 not $200 so he should have just said I'll get and you can buy next time or something similar. But if he was someone who had set your world on fire you wouldn't even ask in here. Bin him and find someone worthy of you.

NicolePatriot

I'd definitely say "next" to this weirdo, lol.

THCamel

:laugh: He's a keeper, with today's economy u need someone frugal

theprettyone1010

Please never speak to him again. LOL

hlavers

Looser!

Move on.

A gentleman will always offer to pay on a first date (you may insist on splitting after if you so choose) and you totally deserve a gentleman. Take it from someone who dated loosers her whole life until meeting my fiance 3 years ago. I was so used to being treated wrong that I was suspicious of how respectful and kind he was...lol.

Murphk323

girl, no!
ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

meggers123

I've had dentist appointments more fun than that.... uh, no. He shouldn't be that negative/cheap/combative on a first date.

klamont9

Wow, what a loser.
