and that is that she hasn't said "Thank you" or "Thanks" for the two dates I've taken her on. I don't know why, but it is just driving me up a wall right now. I will concede that, in total, I've spent like $20 on her, so it's nothing in the grand scheme. At the same time, though, I guess I was just raised on sir and ma'ams, and please and thank you's. Maybe I'm overacting? But it's certainly a turn off, at least for me.
It's common courtesy. I can't blame you for being somewhat disappointed in that. I suppose you could keep dating her, but I'd wonder what other common courtesy she may be lacking... .
If I take a chick out for even a drink that I pay for and she doesn't say thanks, like she was entitled to it, she is immediately sent down to "will never consider for LTR" status.
I'm not sure why this is so funny. Wait. Let me rephrase that. I'm sure why YOU think it's so funny, but it's really not.
The man I'm seeing always thanks me for going out when he asks me out. I also thank him when he buys me dinner, a drink, etc. It's called mutual respect.
I do think the woman should be thanking him for paying for dinner. Maybe she does have poor manner. OP, does she thank the waiter for bringing her meal and stuff like that?

I think it's funny that you expect to be thanked for coming out.
A woman's time is no more valuable than mine. To think that I should be thanking someone for spending time with me screams entitlement mentality.

Yeah so I guess you missed the mutual respect part.
Every man I've ever dated has thanked me for coming out with them. It's an ice breaker, at the very least, and shows that they are interested in spending time with me. It's not an expectation; it's something that has just always happened. I also thank them for the invitation. It shows that I'm glad to be there with them.

Whatever, I don't want to derail.
Bottom line OP, if she isn't thanking you IMO that screams an entitlement mentality, like she deserves free meals simply for being a woman and gracing you with her presence.
It rarely happens to me because I don't take 1st or 2nd dates to dinner, especially if were not sleeping together yet, but the times that it has, I just don't follow up for anything more serious. It screams, I'm a princess kiss my feet, and I just don't deal with that. Maybe I'll meet her at the bar if I'm going to be going to said bar anyway, but that's as far as it goes after that.
