10 reasons he may not ask you out again - A Guys Perspective

[Chickerdoodle13]

LOL, I am so not looking forward to the awkwardness of my first date. However, I am usually careful not to do anything mentioned in the article anyways, as it seems just common courtesy.

Now I just have to find a good man!

Forget the article - who would want to date a woman in her early 40's who lives in the city with chickens?????

And the chickens aren't going anywhere.

So it's decided. If the woman pays then it's a hopeful sign and you can try to play baseball.

Whoever asks, pays. End of story. Since most often, it's the guy that does the asking, most often, it should be the guy doing the paying. Expecting a date to pay, when YOU ASKED THEM, is not the way it's done. And a "token" gesture-silly...

I would NEVER have offered to pay for a date, when I was the one being asked out. That's simply not the way dating is supposed to work. By the same token *IF* I asked out a guy, I would pay. It's etiquette.


Is chivalry really *this* dead?

Sorry Kel, this part of it is IMHO. The rest of the article was funny though. Amazing that #2 generated 5 pages of replies.

And why neither Debi or I would ever date you

If the guy asks me, he pays for the first dinner. Once we hit it off and I am sure he's not an axe murderer, I am quick to reciprocrate with cooking him dinner or brownies or some such treat. I have to say that if a guy asked me out and then wanted me to pay for it or go dutch (on the first date), I would likely never go out with him again. I would assume that he was a tightwad and/or a jerk. If I ask him out I am prepared to pay for it all as well.
The next part of this is that when a guy buys me dinner, I offer profuse thanks and follow up with a thank-you note or email. That also is common courtesy.

Again I say, dating stinks. I'm much happier playing with the dogs, cats, chickens.
