How about treating people the way you want them to treat you (golden rule)? Want a man to be nice, also be nice to him. Want a man to have a positive attitude, have one. Want a man to take you out and treat you meals, take him out and treat him meals too. And so on. Basic golden rule.

You don’t take a guy out but just let him take you out, right? I mentioned the hidden note on the jacket from an experience I had and just as an example of how there are girls who appreciate the date differently. I didn’t let her contribute to the expenses of the date and she tried and tried but I didn’t let her. She really mean it when she said she wanted to contribute to expenses that she hid a note on my jacket with some money telling me how happy she was to go out with me and how she wanted to do it again but also left some money to at least fill up my tank. It was more than just a “aw, you are nice, bye…” But then again, she’s from a different culture.
Right, at least at the beggining. I wouldn't mind asking them out and picking up the tab after the third date though.

I mean, it’s traditions, right?
Yes, I actually prefer it as the men I have being with did not do a good job cleaning (according to me anyways). I like to keep my place clean and cook most of my meals so I am fine with it. I don't enjoy doing the dishes though, so my man can help me with that. I'll take care of the rest.

I guess there are exceptions every once in a while.
Absolutely. I know many Hispanic women who call themselves feminists. Whatever makes you happy.

That’s the right attitude.
A positive attitude makes everything in life go smoother
Update: The date is OFF! He's being too slow about finalizing plans, and I just can't deal with this anymore! His behavior has now become insulting and I'm finally ready to say, NEXT!!!

Good! You don't need somebody who treats you like you and your time don't matter.

Well, it sounds like he was being a d bag with finalizing plans so you did the right thing. On to the next one.
