Wasn't really looking to meet anyone but met a nice man through work.
We get along well, he seems very nice so far, funny, we have good chat etc but I haven't felt that "wow" feeling yet.
Been on 3 dates.
Date 1- split the bill, absolutely fine no issues with this. Pub meal and drink around £30 total for both.
Date 2- small restaurant and the waitress was being awkward about splitting the bill, I had my card out so just paid and said we would sort it later. He said "I'll get the meal the next time we go out". This was around £60 for both.
Date 3- lunch deal in a small local bar/restaurant. £20 for both of us including drink. When waitress approached to take payment I was expecting him to pay given the previous conversation, however when she asked he said "we will split it" so we each paid half.
It's given me a bit of the ick and I'm not sure I want to go on any more dates.
I'm fine with going halves, it's fair after all. But it's put me off that I've paid for a far more expensive meal out, and then he couldn't even get me a cheap lunch on return? It still wouldn't have been "even" as such but it's just the gesture would have been nice!
I don't know his financial situation, but he's in a more senior role to me.
AIBU not to date him any more? Or is this normal in this day and age (haven't dated in a while!)
