No, you are conforming.
Things like that can happen. I've had it happen to me once in a little different circumstance. I used a credit card to pay for gas and it came up denied. The card that I used had a decent limit which I knew I wasn't even close to so I had to use most of the cash I had in my pocket to pay for the gas. It took a phone call to the credit card company to clear the problem up but it took a couple hours for it to clear off my account.Nanny Pam said:
From a man's point of view, I think we all deserve the benefit of doubt unless we've shown that this kind of thing is a habit.
Do you wait for the guy to ask you out?Wenchy said:
Equality can be a good thing but it comes with some consequences.
1. If the guy initiates the date (He asks her to go out) he should be prepared to pay for all aspects of the date (Dinner, Movie etc..).
2. If the girl initiates the date (She asks him) then the opisite should apply.
The guy should be prepared to pay in either case but I think it should be optional in the second case.

But wait, there's more...
I can respect that; but at the same time, you can't understand the situation unless you were in it. I've dated a lot of guys in my life and have seen all types. And it really does take a lot for me to consider a guy truly smothering. This one brought it on like an 800-fill down comforter.LordStanley said:

What I would do would depend on how much I liked the guy. If he was a Steady Eddie or just an all-around good guy, I'd pick up the check. But if he were some guy that I was mercy dating, forget it. He can wash dishes.

I would definitely pay for the meal and say his treat next time.
I always offer to go dutch...I don't expect a guy to buy every time. If the guy declines my offer, then that's great! I never buy the most expensive thing on the menu either...just somewhere in the middle. Geesh, I mean, all of us have had embarassing dates right? When my boyfriend and I went on our first date, I invited him over to hang out and we went and rented a movie...got back and my DVD player decided not to work. It was ok..I was so embarassed and thought he'd be so bored...but we actually had a great time and talked the whole night. Yep..talked. He made we wait for 3 dates for even a kiss!!!
But anyways...the point is, that it's 2006. To expect a man to pay for everything 100% of the time is old fashioned!

I have one and it is a jewelry card. I cut up and trashed my others long ago. If I don't have cash, I don't need it.PrepH4U said:

Some women insist they pay. Some women feel that its a mans mentality that if the man pays for the meal the woman owes him "dessert". What man really thinks that way? Its all good with me because I have gone on dates and haven't spent a dime. Thats not me being cheap is it? She offered. :shrug:

Actually I tend to pay on the first date for different reasons.juggy4805 said:
I pay so that my date has no right to ##### about shelling out x amount of dollars on me. I pay so that he knows right off the bat that I am independent. I pay so that if I don't want to see him again, I am under no obligation to do so. I also pay because odds are I have more money than him anyway.

Or do you pay so you dont feel obligated to put out?
Sorry had to go there. That was the first thing that popped into my head.
No disrespect I swear
Yea right.
