you're right on the mark about the cheapskate thing.
on a previous date, I treated and paid for our meal.
the next date he asked me out to eat, but made it clear i had to pay for my own meal.
then there was the casino date.
That was enough of "getting to know him" for me to know i did not want to keep dating him.
Ok, I'm more old fashioned and always believe the man should pay. But times seem to be changing and women now and then take the guy out and treat him. Thats fine. However, when a gentleman asks a lady out, he PAYS for her and himself. He does not ask her to pay for herself.
yes bad date place. and the least he could have done is gone halfers with you on the money. actually he could have let you finish playing. but if it was time to go, just split the pot or spend it on dinner.
I don't get the point of a casino date. I guess if you both liked to play blackjack or another table game where you could sit together and chat a little or watch other people play, that would be the equivalent of going to a movie. Not the ideal environment for getting to know someone, but at least you are physically near one another and can interact. What's the point of sitting by yourself at a slot machine while the other person wanders around? That's not a date.

Are you serious? He actually told you that you had to pay for your own meal? I would've dropped right then and there. I'm surprised you went out with him again.
There's something wrong with someone who takes someone out to a casino, and spends even some of that time apart from the person he or she is with. Especially if a) he didn't know if you had money to gamble with, or b) if you even LIKED to gamble.
By the way, it looks like you paid for at least part of the evening, if it actually cost him anything--because you gained him $30. $30 he probably promptly lost gambling on something else, sure, but it was still your contribution.
