brokendream Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Well I've been seeing a guy for the past 5 weeks...I start seeing him not long after my previous relationship broke up and we see each other once maybe twice a week. Nothing too heavy. We were supposed to go to the cinema/movies today and he text me "hey hun can you bring money cause I spent loads last night and I've only got 10 euro left". WTF was he thinking?!? Then he texts "you just have you pay for your own ticket" Needless to say I said I think we should just leave the cinema and that I couldn't see us going anywhere so best to just leave it in general. It's not about the money but the fact that he said this to me so early on sends alarm bells ringing. I did get a giggle out of it tho
hopesndreams Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 For the last 5 weeks seeing this guy, have you ever went into your purse?
Author brokendream Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 I know what you're thinking like it was a big "hint hint" but that's not the way it is. The first time we went out I paid for dinner....we went out for a day at the beach and he didn't think to bring money! Last week I cooked him a 4 course meal...bought wine etc and that all cost about €70. Come to think of it...most of our dates revolved around doing free stuff and he only once ever put his hand in his pocket to pay for cinema tickets and popcorn...i paid for drinks after. I'm also the one to drive anywhere when we go out. I thought maybe he was going through a couple of bad weeks but nah....he's a loser!
counterman Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Well, at least you know. Some guys are like. When I had my first first date, my date paid a larger split than me. We paid together and I didn't have any small change. She wasn't happy about that but luckily things balanced out on the next date and so on, as it should. Yours definitely wasn't even.
Author brokendream Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 Any guy I've gone out with before has insited on paying for everything for the first few dates. It's our culture here. If we go for drinks I have to sneak to the bar to get a couple in because I like to make some sort of contribution.
Author brokendream Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 Might I add when he said he spent loads last night it was out in a club with his friends....not with me!
carhill Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 OP, frankly I'm surprised this guy made it to date #2. I guess he'll be spending a lot more time with his friends now. BTW, he probably Hoovered them too. Think about it.
Author brokendream Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 The dinner wasn't really our first date...more like third but it was the first time money was involved. The dates previous to that involved going out for walks in the park which ended in light dinner back at his place (no sex or anything at that stage). I knew the guy before I went out with him, he's a friend of a friend so going back to his didn't seem weird. I obviously didn't find out enough about him though! Yes he'll have lots of time to sponge his friends now !
