Life is short, you had a good afternoon, don't let the price of one meal ruin it.
crashcop, I like the way you think. What a thoughtful person you are. That's cool.

I've never went out with a guy that wanted me to pay or let me pay (not even for the tip), even if on occasions, I offered to.

Sizzler! Haven't been to one of those in a long time. I am on a diet until August...when my date comes to Alaska.
Not sure how she feels...but I consider myself...taken...

I guess I'm glad I read this dating etiquette thread. Last night I went on a long and entertaining date and my companion paid for everything. This afternoon I treated us to an early dinner. I think he really appreciated it.

Too tired to go on more date tonight, though.
