You split both an app and an entre, then he got mad because of what?

he paid half, half of 28 is 14...Unless you split the most expensive app, the total for each person shouldn't have been more than 20 bucks, not including any drinks. Even if the app was like 15 bucks or something, that's still not that expensive.

This was a first date, so if I was asking you for an opinion on where to go for dinner, put a price-range on the meal? I wouldn't take someone to dinner on a first date anyway.

I think the date was set up to fail when he wanted to get a meal somewhere.

Guys feeling entitled to sex might be seen in college but what is seen from college and on is women feeling entitled to be paid for. Yes. It is quite common.

You know what? I hate comments like this.
What do you mean did I go to college? Ofcourse I did. But should I go out with the expectation that every guy should expect sex on the first date?

That would be a terrible expectation. That would be thinking that all men are dogs. And I know they aren't.
Most guys wait, at least the ones I've been with until the 3rd date to start hinting at sex.

The thing about it was that his motive for choosing dinner for the first date was that he wanted sex thrown in, in the bargain. Otherwise he'd have suggested meeting for drinks. He wasn't really buying dinner, to his way of thinking, he was buying sex on an out-of-town trip. So he thought.

No, you shouldn't expect that. That wasn't the point. You said you were floored a guy would expect sex on the first date. You sounded like you'd never experienced that before. Some of us are trying to figure out why you were so taken by surprise by this. Sure that kind of thing is unpleasant, but it shouldn't come as a total shock.

Unless you're younger and haven't run across guys who do this. The OP may or may not be slightly sheltered and it seems by her comments, that she has the expectation that the guy will be a gentleman. Nothing wrong with that...you start out with a positive notion. Reality can then skew that perception but not always...

Of course you don't, you don't have to pay.

Right. Well, that's what I was trying to determine by asking her if she'd gone to college. Sure you start out thinking positively, but when things turn out badly, you just write it off, you don't go into shock. The problem is that these days, everyone can text everyone else, so she had to put up with a weird harangue two days after the event. I wonder if he'd had the guts to spew all that if the phone were the only option.
