Topic: Splitting the Cheque | |
---|---|
Was the date going fine until the bill came? If your even so much as hinted at her paying or made a big production of y0u paying, she might have thought you were a cheap skate and got turned off. Why do you assume she was misleading you? Maybe she was into you until the subject of the bill came...... I actually didn't make a production of it at all. I very discretely picked up the cheque, slipped my credit card into the slot, and put it back on the tray. I was going by the words yuo used in your original post. "As a matter of course, I always offer to pay for dinner on the first date. That just seems like the gentlemanly thing to do. If my date offers to split the cheque, I reassure her that she doesn't need to. I think I might quit doing that, though, or even requesting to split the cheque. " If you "offered", and "reassured" her that you were picking up the tab, why then would you complain later? If a man asked me on a date, then "requested" splitting the cheque, I'd think he was a jacka$$ JMHO |
