Hi all ... last night I went on a first date with a guy I met online who I've had pretty good vibes about. We had a couple of phone conversations, one great, one just so-so, but I was still interested. He asked me to go for coffee, and because we had a hard time coming up with a coffee place that was near either of us, we decided on dinner (at an inexpensively priced place). The date seemed to be going well, I was liking him, feeling it was promising. Then the check came. It sat on the table for a while while we talked; then at some point he kind of reached toward it and then took

You are gutsier than me! I have a hard time seeing some poor guy sweat it out like that over a check. I should make it

I guess you just have to learn your lesson from this one and move on with another. :)

I say he is just being cheap. You give him another chance and what does he do, he blow it.. So Just LEAVE HIM be. haha You need to find a guy who will treat you like a lady, Not his PAL.

If you decide to keep on dating this cheapo, I can see so many holidays and birthdays in tears or madness. That is just my 2cents and rambling. :) I do that often.

I agree with you .... ! I thought about that too ... this would probably be a guy who wouldn't even take me out for my birthday. Thanks for responding!

As I said before I do feel it's cheap to not at least offer but money is always a loaded topic when dating. But actually being able to communicate about this topic early on would be a really good thing and start a pattern of honesty and hopefully clarity and compromise
