[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are some angry thin skinned boys on here maybe living with their parents and spending their allowance or stimulus check on dates they can’t afford. [/quote]

No, but if you are driving a Lexus, why the hell aren't you paying for your own stuff?[/quote]

I think the issue is that mostly people are not dating people they meet and know IRL.  If you are dating using an app, you have no idea what the person really looks like or behaves like.

Using a dating app ls like a blind date in some ways and so I think the smart thing to do is have several coffee dates and people pay for their own share.

If you know or have seen a person IRL, and ask her/him out, you need to be prepared to pay for the date.  And then that date will be a dinner date most probably.  The person asking knows what they are getting in terms of looks etc.

I think the person who was angry with the woman who ordered $60 worth of food, was also upset because she looked older than her photo, he did not feel  the vibes, she was low class and he felt swindled.

So if the dating rules have to change - the first few dates with an unknown person should be coffee or drinks and people should pay their share.   If you are interested in the other party and want to date them, ask them out, then you pay for the whole date.  The other party can insist on paying their share.

A lot of things are at play here.  Good manners, how well you know the person, your interest in the person or the date, your money situation.

A good date can be relaxed, fun and creative.  It does not have to cost a lot of money. [/quote]
