OP here - yes, this is why it exists. Guys expect women to sleep with them on 3rd date. And men f..k anyone as they are searching for “one”. I would want to know if he’s really into me before him getting in my panties

If that is the case, then you are contradicting yourself.

I don’t have a “limit” on the bill cost. That’s what was the typical max bill for a man at first dates with me in the past.
No my test was if he would decline my offer to split and insist on paying himself as the man who invites and chose all items on the menu while I only asked for a $10 drink. I’m not comfortable paying for a man for food - taking out credit card, everyone watching me sign the check etc. I do split other expenses in LTR
I prefer when a man follows standard gender roles

So your test is whether someone can read your mind? This man dodged a bullet.

No the test is whether someone knows and follows dating etiquette and willing to show he prefers to follow standard gender roles in relationship

Speaking of gender roles, what are you doing out of the kitchen?

You appear to have a very transactional view of relationships. Perhaps this hasn’t actually worked out for you as well as you think.

Men are very transactional - they are the ones seeing women through a prisms of how much he’s able to spend on her. Read what guys above wrote: they pay if they perceive the woman as hot. I just learned this male side in a hard way and apply in dating. Yes it takes time to find a man who is really into you and something long term. I don’t have to sleep with or date everyone

If you want him to pay, say so. If you can't speak up for yourself, pease stay single and leave us humans alone.

You are misrepresenting who you are by offering to pay. Setting a trap really.

I, for example, am offended by a man who insists on paying. He is not respecting my autonomy in such matters, right off the bat. So they can only win by taking you at face value. Believing that you are being authentic.

(Some feminists would feel his is imposing
his world view by making her beholding to him.)

You are a game player, and he dodged a bullet.

It’s nothing to do with you autonomy, it’s a general principal the one who invited pays. Most men just say - no worries it’s on me since I’m invited. You can take the next one

Where did you eat' a lot of food' and 'got a bottle' for $100? I would have handed my card long ago if the bill was so small. You are the awkward one with mentioning $100 when it's nothing at your income level. Clearly it's something. You make women look crazy.
Had you brought up just the physical part, I'd be with you.

The total bill was $100 and it was a very small amount to even split, in my opinion . I did get a slight vibe he was hesitant to hand over his card waiting for my reaction as well. So when I offered to split before heading to bathroom to which he quickly agreed and even praised me.

Yes, I think a man should have already actively waived the waiter and handed over his card just saying “no worries, it’s on me”. Particular if the date was with lots of kissing and he enjoyed it as much as he had claimed

I won’t be seeing him again. Thanks everyone. It was nothing to talk about check but says a lot about mismatched cultures and his pretend vigorous generosity ordering for me.

Actually, not. I want to have a partner who is truly giving and generous. And who would support me in difficult times. I make half a million and was contributing higher share towards joint expenses in marriage and a relationship I had post divorce. But being ok when a woman to take out her wallet in restaurants is demeaning to me. I don’t want to be that woman

Once OPs start coming back and trickling out details like "I make half a million," the whole story starts to smell. Oh, I'm not doubting OP might be a high earner, just doubting that anyone cares nearly as much about it as she does.

Hey, OP, find the recent thread here by the woman whose boyfriend suddenly announced he was tired of paying for things and she had to start picking up bills when they went out too. You could get your trad man who pays for things, then find out he's been resenting it, and you, all along--after you've already sunk months or years into the relationship. Have fun!

That situation won’t apply to me. I start inviting men and contributing very early on, as soon as he says to be exclusive. I usually would get tickets to shows, avia fare or hotel but never pay for a man’s food in public.
