[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, we are both old enough, no money issues (he's actually a big law partner) and date was drinks/dinner.  There wasn't alot of back and forth, he actually said he preferred to split on first date.  I agree it was kind of tacky.  It's hard at first because people are sizing eachother up on first dates for red flags.  Being cheap is one of the big ones for me as it was a big deal with my ex.[/quote]

I agree that it was kind of tacky but I wouldn't rule out a second date just because of it - especially if  you felt like there was any chemistry.

I'm big on good manners but I am somewhat uncomfortable with a guy paying for drinks/dinner on a first date, especially if it's a really expensive place.  I grew up very poor and this was very difficult for a lot of guys.  Now, I know this guy is Big Law but I'm still uncomfortable with it because I don't want to feel like I owe anyone anything.  If there are subsequent dates, I don't mind so much because there's a mutual attraction and I know him better.  I also don't mind treating him to things. Weird, I know.[/quote]
