99% of my comments about dating is from my 40s, NOT my 20s.

My priorities were totally different in 20s, as in I didn't really have any except to have fun.

Like you said earlier, he was proactive about asking for separate checks, so there's no reason, other than disinterest, for him to be acting differently with contacting you.

Better luck with the next one.
Thanks! I've been communicating with someone else who I seem to have a lot more in common with, so we'll see.

If a guy asks a gal out to breakfast/lunch/dinner/etc...then he picks up the tab.

If a gal asks a guy out to breakfast/lunch/dinner/etc...then she picks up the tab.

Why is this such a hard concept?

Let's see gals don't typically ask guys out on dates. That is where the concept gets ed.

This wouldn't have happened to me because I would have made it clear when we made plans that it would be dutch.

I'm big on avoiding unpleasant surprises, and avoiding ending up in a situation where the guy thinks dinner isn't all he just bought.

You'd turn down any woman who approached you, so how is a woman ever going to be in a position to ask you on a date?

You got me confused with 49ersfan. He'd definitely turn down a girl who approached him, I'm 50/50 on turning them down or not depending on my intuition.

That is not true. Women do ask men out, so it does not change anything. It's simply the law of supply and demand. If there is no demand for you, you have to step it up and figure out a way to be competitive, regardless of your gender.

Young, childless women in their 20s are in high demand. You will have to compete for their attention. Simple as that.

Yes, guys have probably asked out more gals than vice versa throughout the years, but that doesn't change the concept. IMO, if the person who does the asking picks up the tab, then all of this confusion and awkwardness over this subject would be gone.
