Although this may not be true for you, but a problematic ex-wife can wreak a lot of havoc in a man's future relationships. That's why this is a red flag for some women.
Some of the problems that come with the ex-wife are that
- the man will always be in contact with her due to children, resulting in insecurities in the new woman if the ex-wife is scheming to get him back
- ex-wife intrudes on the man's life by demanding extra money, favors, etc.
- ex-wife may so stress the man out whenever he deals with her, that his new relationship is affected
- ex-wife may act up out of jealousy when her ex-husband gets a new woman
A woman who doesn't have those kinds of issues in her life may not want to deal with a man who does.

Interesting post but I do not have children nor am I paying alimony.
This one time, in band camp, I took a girl out and this is pretty much what happened. When I said I would take care of it, she got pissed and started making a scene. I excused myself, paid the bill, then returned informing her that I was leaving and would be happy to pay for her cab fare home.
If she was that upset about it, you should have taken the money. That would have been the gentlemanly thing to do.
I think a gentleman at least offers to pay for a first date. The tipping of $1 is completely unacceptable. I would not associate with someone on any level who treated people like that (exeptionally bad service not withstanding).
People who don't tip (or massively undertip) 'on principle' should try walking a mile in the server's shoes and see how they like it. Total deal breaker.
Color me old fashioned but I think the gentlemanly thing to have done, would have been to at least offer to pay for the meal. But that being said I think the OP should trust her own instincts as to whether the guy is suitable to continue dating. I have often found that the correct answer to any question is within oneself if they only search hard enough. But that's just my opinion.
As to the tipping I used to have entirely different opinions on how much was enough or correct until I read this book; Keep The Change and it completely changed how I saw things. It was quite an interesting read.
if i were you honeh umm ummmm i would have gotten up and left him and the bill and laughed my self home

I don't get that.
