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.
the evening was also supposed to include spending time at the dance floor, hearing the band, listening to live music. When we got to that part of the evening, he said no he didn't feel like it. That bugged me too, it felt like bait-and-switch, we did the part of the evening "he wanted" the slots, but when we got to the part of the evening i wanted (the music) he said no.
that location is a nice place to go, i'd gone there on dates before for dinner, music, dancing, the terrace has a view of the mountains, sunset, concerts, it's an elegant resort place, shop with regional art, it can be fun. Just not with him!
I'm not good with "intuition"--so I might be totally off base here, but something is saying to me "compulsive gambler". Of course, I'm telling it to shut up, but it never listens to a word I say--like most anyone else.

you are spot on Tkramar; that too revealed itself
you and your intuition are both worth listening to i'd say!

Well like another poster said, he could be a compulsive gambler. That in itself is bad.
The other thing I see here is he did what HE wanted to do. When it came time for YOU to want to do something YOU liked, he said NO. Basically he's telling you what you'll be doing and you'll like it.
If a real gentleman is interested in you, he would take you to see or do what you like to do, even if he doesn't care for it. That is one way to tell if he's really into you. There is nothing wrong with going on a date where both people go to or see something they both like. Its a great way to introduce each other to what you both like and get to see what interests you both have.
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.

My Dear Moneypenny:
Whatever has Q been filling your pretty little mind with? Don't you recall those golden nights we spent together at Royale, amidst the gowns and tuxedos? Remember the fragrance of leather, wood and exotic perfumes? HOW can you say it's not a good date location, when you know full well we rang in the morning with Tattingers and foie gras?

and the place he took us to eat was "pizza by the slice"
ROFL
Sierra was right, i have to agree this was indeed a low
I certainly hope you have ended all contact with him.
yes, i have, fortunately
if not after the wonderful posts on this thread, all registering the same octave of disapproval, i'd have an extremely low rating in the self-respect department!
i like what thebobs said about being a "gentleman"
it is a good standard to keep in mind
