[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you offer to split if you didn't want to split?  Today, there's no real dating rules as there used to be.  You ask him to split, and then you expect him to read your mind to know that you didn't actually want to split the bill.  And now you're criticizing him for behaving inappropriately.

You sound like a lot of my friends who can't figure out why they don't have a husband.  Mind games.[/quote]

This was my first thought too. OP, this is what's wrong with dating. Don't play games. If you don't want to pay or don't think you should pay (I have issues with that, but whatever, not the focus here), don't OFFER to pay. I can't understand why in the hell you would offer when you had no intention of actually paying and are now pissed off that you had to pay. [/quote]

I agree with these 2 PP's. He took what you offered on face value OP.  So you want to tag him with a red flag, yet you were dishonest and disingenuois in your offer.  You get a red flag too.

I am a woman but I grew up with 5 brothers so I have seen the dating ritual from both sides.  [b]A lot of women develop all these standards, games and rituals regarding dating and then wonder why they keep attracting losers[/b].   Honestly, men are not that complicated and most do not even know that they are supposed to be participating in this ritualistic dance.  They are just trying to get to know you better, get laid or both.  They are not evaluating you as a life partner on the first date.

Oh and with my DH, I asked him out first and I paid.  [/quote]

Simple, because if we have anything on the ball, we do not want to BS around.  It's too much work for too small a return on investment.
