[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your third date sounds awful.  When you meet a great guy it won't be like this.  Stop wasting time with this man.  I'm sure he has good qualities but the bad ones seem worse.  [b]When you go out with Mr Right, you won't think about posting about your dates or questions you may have.   [/b][/quote]

YES! This! 
It shouldn't be this hard, OP. Really. When it's right, it's easy. This isn't easy. [/quote]

+1.  It really shouldn't be this hard so early in the relationship.[/quote]

+2. This is supposed to be the fun part.

He sounds like he might be a married consultant, looking for a girl in town. That could be one reason he wants you to pay for yourself - he can't expense you and doesn't want to buy your meals with his family's cc.

If that's not the case, he is cheap for sure. I wondered about the blunt-force screening tactic as well. So far you've been taking his crap so he must be thrilled. It's all upside for him. He keeps getting dinners out, paying only for himself, and then gets to sleep with you in Week 6? Why wouldn't he?

Finally, the fact that he keeps asking you out for weeknights without giving you his number is a major, major red flag. There's a wife or a girlfriend getting the weekends, I bet. I had a guy pull something similar on me and that was, in fact, the case. I am dying to know this guy's name, or at least his initials.

Lose this guy. He should have paid when he did the asking, he should have given you his # or asked for yours, and Tuesday dates are as sketchy as they come. And it just doesn't sound fun.[/quote]
