I'm a woman who's had a lot of first dates, and I think OP sounds inflexible and miserable.  You're not going to get too far finding someone if you don't lighted up, OP.  I think having a drink as a first date, without expecting to order food, is more than reasonable - I do that all the time, and I make sure that I eat something beforehand if I think I'll be hungry.  The whole purpose of a first date  is to start to see if you like each other, not to have a night out where everything is orchestrated your way.  Go with the guy's plan, give him a chance to get to know you before you expect the sun, moon & stars, and don't try to be so controlling.  [/quote]

I agree. You should have just eaten beforehand, OP, as he requested and met him for drinks - for whatever reason, the guy didn't want to sit down to a meal. Getting there and ordering a meal, even if you planned to pay for it, just added a whole level of awkwardness and conflict right off the bat. That being said, it's no great loss because he doesn't sound like the guy for you anyway. Even if he wasn't "into you", he still should have taken off his hat and walked you to your car - that's just basic decency, even with a friend or colleague, let alone a date.[/quote]
