No I am taking advice from a good person I trust. But I don't get as personal as I do here because this is anonymous and that is a work environment where I need to remain professional. If I don't hear from this date. Should I follow-up? And if so, how long should I wait? I know I could find someone else. But I liked her tonight, so why not pursue it?

More so the question should be do you want another date with her? If so go pursue her.

You come off as a jerk. You sound like you like her, but don't care because you have other dates arranged. You would probably be totally be into her if you had no other options.

You just don't seem like a nice person. Self involved, petty, clueless..... I'm guessing the date didn't feel that way, but it's been one date.

Why is it not okay to see who's out there until someone you like let's you know she feels the same way?

I would feel really stupid if I was that girl. Thinking you are generously buying me a drink when you feel deep down you should get something in return, or wasting your money. Here is a hint. Don't present yourself as something you are not. Straight up say, hey lets split drinks 50/50.

I've been told by everyone I know I should not let the woman pay for half on the first the date. I don't want to offend anyone. As my name here suggests, I am returning to dating after good teenager years and then a good education ... just trying to figure it out.

The question most of us have for you is if you liked her, why not follow up instead of the mind games of thinking she should come to you because your paralegal says all women do xyz?

If you always have someone else lined up, are you ever giving anyone a fair chance?

Fair enough. I would just suggest to maybe have an attitude adjustment if you decide to foot the bill, do it with the idea that you want to and are making that choice.

I don't know. It's like if one of these next girls likes me better (also blonde, well educated, and in good shape) then why bother? If I follow up, I feel like I am compromising, and I don't want to feel that way. Shouldn't a woman feel like she was lucky to have found me as I would her?
