18 days till I see him..dating etiquette

Ok. We are meeting for lunch because I am "in town". I asked him to pick the place because he's been working in that area for years. BUT do I pay my half? Do I offer to pay for his since I asked him to meet me? Do I let him pay for it all if he offers? Also, for all you moms with small kids, I usualy leave my cell phone on vibrate in case the day care or babysitter needs to reach me? Is this poor etiquette?

I think since you asked him out you pay. If he grabs the check and insists, then tell him you planned on paying and if he still insists, just say thank you. Leaving your phone on is fine, but only answer if if the call is from whoever is watching the children.

I agree. I do want to add, tell him that you are leaving your cell on in case your babysitter needs to get ahold of you.

I agree completely. I hope the lunch is great! Probably won't live up to Brian's weekend though :)
