Really,really, ready to Date!

Hi all!

Have just read everyone's posts and thought I'd share the blind date from hell I had recently! (met him on a dating site)

We were supposed to be having a drink only, he met me in the carpark of the pub and we said our hellos ..... (so far so good)... HE suggested we eat so I agreed. He'd come straight from work and was hungry. He spent the entire time topping his own glass up and not mine. The conversation was non-stop, but all about him, and then the bill came. The awkward moment, and I never know how to handle it, but always expect to pay my way. I said "shall we go dutch" rather hoping he would at least offer to pick up his much more expensive half, a)because I wasnt expecting to eat, b)he'd boasted on his profile he was wealthy, and c)I had decided he was a nob and I didnt want to see him again.

Anyway... he said "yes, thats great", so after ordering cheaply myself, I ended up paying half of his very expensive meal and drinks and what's more... when I asked the waitress to add 10% and split it between our two cards, (he looked peed off with this) she said her machine didnt allow her to do that. He then proceeded to inform me that his card might be declined because he had just paid school fees on it, so I started thinking "bloody hell, am I going to have to pick up the whole tab?"

Anyway, the transaction went through, and the waitress went away, and I mentioned to my date about the tip (he didnt look impressed) and said he didnt have any cash!! WHAT MAN GOES ON A DATE WITH NO CASH? Especially when you think your card might be declined? Indeed, what man upgrades the date from drinks to dinner in such circumstances? Men - tell me!!

So, after listening to him drone on about school fees (my kids are in the comprehensive), his work, his extravagant lifestyle, I ended up leaving the bloody tip as well!

He asked to see me again the next day and I said no. He seemed genuinely surprised I wasnt gagging for him so I told him why he wouldnt be getting any second opportunities with me.

God! I'm not going to let it put me off, but just wanted to warn you gals out there that this man exists!

WOW. That was a crap date wasnt it? It did make me smile. You didnt name and shame him. Thing I have found about wealthy people is that they are tighter than a ducks arse. School fees my arse. If he upgraded the date from a drink to a meal he should have paid. Also what person goes on a date straight from work? No time to shower or change. Go on a date in yr work cloathes? What kind of respect does that show the datee?

People that brag about wealth to be honest piss me off. As do people that bang on generaly. A convo should be a shared experiance with 2 people talking. Not one. I went on a date once where the women banged on all night about her designer wardrobe. Very boring. But hey we are all difo. Falk.
