I remember a guy that I wasn’t really that into at first asked me on a date. Being cheap and going dutch is not a good way to impress someone you’re interested in. Who pays on a date depends on the two people. This is a perfect example of why it’s essential to work out who’s going to be paying before the date. Feeling despondent you simply decide not to reply. After you get home he sends you a text message saying how much he enjoyed the date and can’t wait to see again. Then he asks the waiter to split the ticket and at that very moment, all your interest in him vanishes. After all, you’re just a student and he’s a working professional. You assume because he asked, and his meal was more expensive, that he would pay for the date. He ordered a steak enchilada and you the cheese quesadilla.
The conversation is going great until the waiter puts the bill on the table. He asks where you want to go and you agree to have your first date at that Mexican place downtown that you like. This guy you’ve been looking at for a couple of weeks finally got the courage to ask you out! You’re so excited.
