Went on a first date last night. Guy I met on a dating app. Never can be sure about internet finds, but hey, I keep looking.
Date was just okay for me. When it was about time to go, he asked, "So should we get separate checks?"
"Okay," I replied while looking away, because what I was thinking was HUGE QUESTION MARKS and I was not living out my best poker face at the moment. That check included one glass of red wine for me. On a date that he initiated.
I mean it's fine, I guess? It's not the first time it has happened, but always kinda takes me by surprise.

I am old and old-fashioned, but I think a guy can spring for the first date at least. After that taking turns or splitting the check is OK.
ReplyDeleteThat would be me, too. I think old-fashion or non-traditional or whatever you want to call it is just fine! Is a second date coming?
ReplyDeleteIs this the new norm, to treat women equally, I wonder? But it seems more like he read your face -- the date was so-so -- and decided not to invest. I haven't dated in a very lonnnnggg time, but I should write some of my internet date adventures. Best of luck to you.
ReplyDeleteI can picture your response, complete with cartoon question marks above your head. Lizzie McGuire style!
ReplyDeleteDating is so tricky - especially with online dating. Your Slice sums up the vagaries of it.
ReplyDeleteNew, used or digital- the one thing that is always in demand, especially among students is the school books or textbooks. Same ways, the Bihar Board Intermediate I Year Books are equally significant, as it provides detailed and in-depth BSEB Intermediate new Syllabus information about a subject to the student. It is the most reliable and widely used source of reference by Bihar Board Intermediate I Year students. The Bihar Board prescribes these Class 11 school books based on the Intermediate I Year Syllabus.
