Maybe he wanted to party and drink but is limited in funds.

Let's put two and two together in order to make sense of things.

I have always felt that person asking some out should pay.


But, I also tend to watch whether or not she offers to split the check at the end of the evening as well. In general, I am much more likely to ask out again the women who at least offers to split the check.

From past experience, the women who offer to split the check generally are cooler. I don't expect them to split the check if I ask them out, but I would like to see them offer to split it.

If he asked you then he should pay. Down the line in a relationship I don't see why sometimes you can't go "dutch treat" if you decide ahead of time.

Dutch treat later on? What happened to a woman paying once in a while?

Well, the discussion is not about later on.

That guy has very poor form. The person who extends the invitation is expected to pick up the tab. Since men usually are the one who asks the woman on the date (at least that was the case in the old days...back when people used to date) they typically covered the check. Back when I dated (i.e. after the earth's crust cooled and before the mesozoic era) I ALWAYS paid on a date...

I agree- and this isn't limited to dating, IMO.

This guy very likely may have made a mistake. He may have been terribly embarrassed after asking you to the bar and then realizing that he did nto have any money. However if you think that he planned this and asked you with the intention of telling you AFTER you got there that he had no money, then the guy is a cad and you probably should keep looking. Good luck.

I have a better question: why didn't you tell him you had no money and let him figure it out? If it was his idea, he should have paid.

And yes I have done this.
