Met a guy got on well.
Had two dates previous and split the bill 50/50 and always have done as I think the man shouldn't pay BUT last night we went out to the pub and I was ordering a cocktail and him a pint.
I said "oh il get this round and you can get the next"
He said "your cocktail costs more than my pint"
I didn't even think about the price,I just thought rather than us buying drinks separate.
So I just got the drinks separately.
I would of happily got a cheaper drink or got him a more expensive but at this point I was a bit taken back.
My cocktail was £4.25 and his best £3.65 so not a lot of difference.
Now I'm thinking he is a bit tight?

That is tight as fuck and I'd run a mile if I were you.

I could not go on a further date with someone as tight as that.

Yeah that's tight, especially since you were buying the first round and always went 50/50 (rightly) on meal bills. But quibbling over £1 fuck that.

He sounds a cock. I would ditch, it's the sign of things to come. Nothing worse than a tight arse.

Yes, that's a tight thing to say.
As is often said on these threads; meanness is not sexy.

Yes he is, and he doesn't present himself in the most flattering light, with such a direct crappy comment
Honestly I probably would have left shortly after

Yes - very tight arsed! That would get on my nerves too much to continue seeing him. Can't bear quibblers!

Phew ..I thought I was just letting my head run away with me.
He has never even offered me a drink(which is fair enough but would be nice to offer)

Miserably tight.

YANBU He was wrong. If two people are out it is normal to buy each other drinks and not worry about a small price difference.

Very tight! I don't think I would see him again.

YANBU if there was only a 60p difference between drinks, that is tight.

Sometimes you just want to cry, don't you? I'm glad you've discovered what he's like so early on, OP, but I think I would've gone home when he said that. 55p difference, ffs.
