[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My newly separated friend went on a date with a guy at 7:30pm. They met at the bar of a restaurant. Both my friend and her date were obviously hungry as they finished all the bread on the table. Date did not offer any food. Friend went home starving. It's been a while since I've been married for 10 years but most of my dates were for dinner or we'd meet up at a bar/club but it was after dinner time and usually with other people.

Is this guy just not into my friend? Cheap? Poor? Or is this normal to have just drinks?

I think it is fine to go out for drinks but if you meet at 7:30 and clearly both people are hungry, shouldn't you just order food?[/quote]

Tell your newly separated friend she can order the god damn food if she's hungry. Nothing is stopping her from doing this, other than the preconceived notion that women entitled to a dating gravy train where men pay for everything.

This is why I say to women when setting up dates:

ME: What time are you eating dinner?
HER: Uh, 7 pm?
ME: Great! See you at the bar at 8:30![/quote]

Not to be a bitch but I would cancel on someone who did that.  It's kind of a weasely, passive aggressive way of doing it.  Red flag. [/quote]

+1. Sounds soooooo awkward! Like you are socially inept, maybe Aspergerish.[/quote]
Agree, it sounds very off and I can't imagine it coming across well to anyone.[/quote]
