Today, my date threw a fit, burst into tears, and made a huge scene in the middle of a crowded restaurant, all because I offered to pay. FML
Izamellayella tells us more.
I just now realized that this was posted, and, yes, I do realize that it was more than two months ago. He was actually my friend's old roommate, and she introduced us around a year ago. We didn't really interact that much but I thought that he was nice, so when he asked me out, I decided that I'd at least give him a chance. For the record, it wasn't some elaborate ultra-expensive fancy restaurant, but the meal certainly wasn't cheap. I've been in the habit of offering to pay for my meals for a while now, and I certainly wasn't expecting that kind of reaction for him. And no, I don't think that the guy paying for the date is sexist. I don't see why the girl can't pay sometimes, though, and I was just trying to be nice. If he'd wanted to pay, he could have told me instead of freaking out like that. He never called me back after that, but even if he did, I wouldn't have gone on another date with him. I enjoyed reading your comments! Most of you guys are really funny.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Good for you for offering to pay. You obviously deserve better though.

Your date is an immature little boy. Tell him you are going to the toilet and then leave him with the bill. Let him throw a tantrum when the cops arrive.

You should have laid down and did the exact same thing just to throw them off. That would have been amazing to see if I was a patron there. My boyfriend is notorious for trying to embarrass me in public like this or if we're in the TP aisle he'll start talking loud saying didn't you say you weren't feeling so fresh. I just turn it back on him now and make it worse so he stops. Plus it's fun

Wow, I AM an old man. When I was dating, it was expected for the man to pay for his date's dinner.

Yes well nowadays if you expect one thing from one gender and something different from the other it's considered a double standard and frowned upon. Not to say it doesn't still happen, we're a nation of hypocrites. Hypocrites and hipsters actually, but I'm getting off point.
