Two or three appetizers at $16 each wouldn't have been much less money, and he still would've appeared cheap.
I doubt every appetizer was $16. I wouldn't have thought him as cheap if he'd rather just do some app's and a drink. It's a first date so you're basically chatting. I don't like to chat and talk through every bite. Apps and a drink is casual--I'd have thought nothing of it. He had an agenda. He was willing to drop $50 thinking he was going to get some.
I guess you fall in the 5%. Honestly, even I kind of see that as tacky. That happened with me and my girlfriend the other day and it made me feel uncomfortable. If it was my first date, I'd have shelled out the money and not said a word.
I expect men to be like me, in the sense that I don't carry weed with me. I also don't smoke it.
You really seem to have led a pretty sheltered life. I don't smoke pot myself and never have, but I'm not so naive that I don't realize that probably 1/3 of the people I interact with on a daily basis do, and that a significant percentage of them carry some with them.
What you need to do is not let people take you for granted by agreeing to a same-day date. It shows a lack of consideration. It shows he was only looking out for Number 1.
I agree.... I think men also at the core want a woman who is a little bit harder to get... I don't mean mind games, but just enough.....
(Hmm, a guy calls me over to his van)
"Want some candy?" He asks.
"No thanks." I reply.
"Come on...I have different kinds."
(He seems a little pushy)
(Against my better judgement)
"O.k. Sure." I say.
"Hop in."
Had he said, "I am in town and I see you're home...I...I mean, are you home?" I'd be a little nervous.
You dodged a bullet.
He could have done something.
You better follow your better judgement next time.
I have been out with some winners on the first date but he took the cake.
Not all men are like that. As a practice I won't go to dinner with someone for a first date. Mostly because if they are preimere creep I hate having to give up an evening.
I also wont' date anyone that is a smoker but I have other reasons that are related to my job. I could care less if someone else does it, just not around me and don't have it on you when we are out.

Because you're not like that guy or other guys that have that mentality of "if I drop $$$ on this date, I may just get some lovin' tonight "
Honestly, I wouldn't have batted an eye if he said it was too pricey for him, especially if I knew it was on the pricey side and we were meeting for the very first time. If he told me to share an entree with him, I'd have doled out my share for my own meal, which I would have offered to pay for anyway.
