Why?

I almost always order an appetizer while drinking at the bar. I certainly would not expect a man to pay for it though.

Be strong, independent and mindful. Some of us men like that you aren't just looking to be taken care of (all the time).

Well, that sucks. Sorry to hear.

But that goes with my advice: Don't agree to a marriage proposal until you get all of that ironed out.

Let's change that to:

Don't get engaged until you've known someone for at least a year and discussed all the major issues like children, finances, etc.

Be true to yourself.

Don't change yourself or wait too long for a man to decide if he's going to come half way into a relationship. If it's not working, communicate with him and see what you both can do. Don't cling to something if it's not going to work out.

Don't let yourself feel worthless and unloved if you break up. You are just as loveable and deserving as you were at the beginning. Comfort yourself and move forward.

Be kind and loving. Treat your partner with respect. If you're both on the same page, your relationship will continue to flourish. You'll have fewer regrets in the long run.

We did. She just thought I would change my mind.

We were friends for over 20 years and knew all that about each other.

Well, if the man says "separate checks" the waiter/bartender usually has that look and it pains them.

If a woman does that to me, that is the last date we are having. I don't mind paying for her drink(s) but if she tacks on the appetizer, I'll pay for it but adios to her. I consider the price of the appetizer a payoff to never see her again.

This literally makes no sense at all. Like, at all.
