Last weekend, I went out with a friend, and I spent $50 just on my self.
Pray tell, how much do you think is a reasonable amount for a date? How much will you be willing to spend?
In NJ and NYC everything's more expensive. Still, I bet there are Thai and Chinese restaurants that have more affordable dinners. But he suggested something near where you work, so there may have been limited options there. It's really petty to blame you for that. He was just miffed that he didn't get his "dessert".
Twenty eight clams isn't that bad. That's roughly what a trip to Red Lobster would cost. Texas Roadhouse is at least $15- $18+ if you don't eat like a bird.
I would have paid for it and said nothing. I pay that much just going to the gun club on Friday night comp shoots with my guy buddies and blast 200 rounds of .45 ACPs.
Better 420 than the legal drugs like alcohol or cigarettes. He still had no right to push it on you.
Splitting a single dinner? How tacky. A better idea was to leave and go somewhere else.
He should have investigated the restaurant first, or at least asked if cost was an issue. The whole date was handled very poorly by him. Just dismiss it as a bad date and move on.
I agree it was tacky. But I went along with it.
Oh well, another dating disaster to add to the book I will write.
If that's as bad as it gets for you and that turns you off to dating, I suggest that you don't date. There are much more weirder and flaker people out in the world.
Either way, op set herself up. What te heck do you expect from a guy just passing by a few days in the city? Make better decisions who you go out with.. Or were you born yesterday?
In most big cities or metropolitan areas, those prices are not expensive. I think his reaction was quite uncalled for, if he was that upset about it, then he should of just not made any further contact.
The guy is a douche because he's mad you didn't call him the next day and aren't all over him and stuff. That is on him...you really should have looked into the restaurant more so it was not such a shock once you got there. But still that is no need for him to be a jerk...he is just butt hurt so don't let that turn you off to other guys...there are so many more out there that are not like that. It seems it would be a shame to let them all go to waste!

Oh my gosh.
I was hoping I read that wrong. I can't imagine a guy insisting on ordering one dinner to split.
What happened on that third day should not have been a surprise. He was a real bad apple. Don't let him ruin any future dates for you. Most guys are not like that.
