Cheap Date #17
Some women, unfortunately, have made dating a game of acquisitions. Whether it be free dinners, free drinks, free shopping. These women have created this culture of using men to get things. This game is as old as time. Afterall, Marilyn Monroe and Madonna made it cheekily famous!
However, in today’s “regular people” dating world, I did not know this was even a thing until I started having conversations and men have told me the reason they don’t take a woman out for dinner on the first date is because he doesn't want to feel “used”.
My response to that is, what kind of women are you dating and how do you not know before meeting them whether they would be worth your time? This also leads me to believe that these men ask out a LOT of women playing the odds but don’t actually take the time to suss out quality.
See, when I make the decision to meet a man, he has to fulfil a shit load of basics, otherwise I will NOT waste his time or mine. Unless it's a throw away date lol in which case a coffee is fine as I know he doesn’t stand a chance😂
However, if a man is genuinely interested in me then he should recognize that I am quality AAA grade cream of the crop!!! If he offers a coffee date (sans pandemic) then he just will NOT get a second date.
WHY???? Because if he treats me like he would EVERY other woman then I will treat him like EVERY other man 🤣
If he is unable to be discerning and is too cheap to make the effort of the WOO, then I am not interested. The best part is when they ask you for dinner and then cheap out during the actual date. Then I like to have some fun😉
FAV Dating Story: Dinner date set for Friday evening after work at the Keg Steak House downtown. We meet at a convenient location near the restaurant and exchange our pleasantries prior to walking over for dinner. There is a line up. The Keg does NOT take reservations on Friday nights as walk in business is their bread and butter. I am STARVING!!! We decide to walk down the street to another restaurant that had no line up and it was cute and cozy. We even got a booth!
Menus were given and my eyes feasted on what to order. He took the liberty of ordering for us and ordered an appetizer. Just ONE appetizer. I said “Oh I thought we were going to order dinner”. His response was to see how things go. I knew right then this guy was just a cheap little asshole with no grace whatsoever. So I turned my charm on. I was flirty and kept ordering Oban Scotch...doubles. He was taking a liking to my flirtatiousness and he ordered a SECOND appetizer!!! Daddy Warbucks would be rolling in his grave!!
All this, while he was telling me how much money he makes, how he would fly his last GF to Paris with him for business trips and how he would spoil her with lingerie etc etc. BLAH, BLAH, freaking BLAH!!! BTW she was a single mom with 3 baby daddies, no job and she cheated on him.🤣
The bill came and he was shocked that 2 appetizers and 6 drinks, (3 each) would come out to over $200. He actually turned to me and said “Had I known you had such expensive taste in scotch I would have split the bill with you hahaha”. WTF dude??? YOU asked me out to DINNER!!! I needed to make up the caloric intake of what would have been my meal for the day you cheap ass LMAO!! I coyly smiled at him and thanked him for indulging me. That's when he leaned in for a kiss.....
I gently pushed him away batting my eyelashes and swiftly got up to put on my coat. He got up after me and I turned and put my hand on his chest affectionately and spoke quietly staring at him dead in the eyes stating the following “Sweetheart, you clearly have been accustomed to dating hamburger meat. You were lucky enough to be seen in public with premium Kobe Beef and you showed me you have no idea how to value quality and you have no class. Next time you ask a woman out to dinner... FEED her”. I then whipped my hair like out of a Pantene commercial and walked out the door. He chased me and I told him to chalk this up to experience and that I gave him the gift of feedback.
