OP, if you haven't figured it out by now you were played like a sucker. This woman is not interested in you.
You wrong for this but you definitely have a point.

Tell what day it is to the bills and see what that gets you. That woman was wrong for taking advantage of OP like that.

Hopefully she repaid you with kindness the same night. If not, oh well - there are still worse ways of being robbed

Outside of the silly gender games people love to play, it was pretty inconsiderate of your date to act on implications.

At the very least a confirmation showing some awareness before acting would have gone a long way.

If it happens again on a dinner date with her politely bring up a pricing consideration with her. You’ll have a better idea of who she is and what her expectations are in doing so.

Y'all have got to stop with this nastiness.

It's not funny, and it's not cool.

We also don't know if it was the most expensive item on the menu.

So it's not "being robbed" if sex happened?

"Tell that to your wallet" doesn't apply if sex happened? It's not still the same $50 less in the bank account? That $50 somehow transmigrates back into the account as soon as sex happens?

I love steak and lobster.

Used to make annual trips to Maine just to eat lobster on the pier. T

followed by

A restaurant that served "Lobster stuffed Lobster" w/ steak, veggies and potato. Yum! One of the few times steak is a "side-dish".. That was more than $50 buck meal... but so worth it.

followed by

A big bucket of fried whole-belly clams

followed by

Lobster Benedict....

Tonight was our first dinner together and she didn't offer to help pay the bill either. To be fair she did offer me a piece, and also it is Valentines and I am the one who asked her out. She was excited about going out too..

I'm torn on why the sticker shock is bugging me, I keep thinking about it. I feel like the date was fun and she is incredible in a lot of ways and I find her attractive.. but I'm kinda feeling put off a bit too about it...

I paid for the bill. My concern isn't that I paid. I'm glad to do something nice for her.
My concern is I feel she wasn't considerate at all, and it is weighing on my mind. I'm sorting out my feelings right now. I find her attractive in many ways, but that was a big turn off :/
Pretty tacky- unless she makes a boatload of cash and eats like this all the time. Maybe it just didn't click. But I doubt it. Toss her to the curb unless she put out big time.
