Aibu stingy man?

[Kellyohojn]

Had about 10 dates with him.
Paid for myself on each date (which is fine by me)
Tomorrow night he has invited me to his for a Mexican themed night (just me and him)
He said he is making some tacos and I said il bring some starters /wedges/dips,and a few little ready made cocktails.
He said he will buy some tequila for margaritas..then says shall we go halfs on the cost of the margarita ingredients?
I'm sorry but I think that's stingy?
Aibu?

Howling at expat

Please send that. Please. I'll pay you to send it. And then post proof you've done it!

Freeze the mince and freeze the relationship.

quack it's not if he's being a blooming creep. Mean with money, mean in bed!

Freeze the mince 😂

That needs to be up there in mumsnet phrases of fame such as cancel the cheque, poo pouffe, centre parcs anal

Ok so making light of something that is probably uncontrollable is ok if someone isn’t nice? That’s just petty to be honest, complain about things he can and should change but don’t laugh at something that isn’t his fault.

Makealist NO penny pincher is nice. EVERY penny pincher sees money as more important than their other half or children.

I once dated someone like this and cancelled a date at his He moaned because he had bought diet coke and pasta.

What an arse not even to say get well soon. Hope you have a lovely eve watching strictly and eating pizza, sounds much more appealing than a date at his place! Defs ditch him And save the effort for someone worth your time as you sound like a laugh and deserve better!

Thank goodness you've seen the light! What a prick. I despise tight people especially a man! It's so unattractive. We have a friend who is like this. He's coming round for dinner next week and I told DH not to tell him we've bought in a specific tipple we all like as he won't bring anything as a gesture if he knows it's here. How bad is that?
Having said that amongst some friends when we've been a bit skint we all chip in so the get together can happen. It's not a problem. With a man on a date and he has invited you over that's appalling. And asking you to bring sexy clothing! Yuk! You're well rid.

Could you please pass my number onto him. I like a nice bit of mince and a floppy dick. I think I could be in with a chance.

Yes quack it is, he's game really, nasty mean creep.

We also attempted sex last time but couldn't as he couldn't stay hard

I wonder if it was because he kept thinking of how much money he was losing for not charging you for this 'essential/guaranteed' job?

Have a read of this thread. There are a lot of financially abusive situations here..............

This thread has REALLY made me crave mince.

He sounds like he’s got some of mental disability or learning disorder

Oh good lord OP I'm glad you've seen sense. My DO was horrified and we definitely subscribe to the halfs rule but Christ, if the man can't even make you a margarita without sending you a detailed invoice he needs a slap.

Tell him exactly why you're binning him off (in a pleasant and polite way obviously) and hopefully some poor woman in the future won't find herself subject to his skinflint ways

Wow. Just .... wow. Can you stay with him a bit longer and engineer some more situations where he gets to display his stinginess, just for a laugh??
I’m not sure which is worse. The egg? The mince??
The egg. It’s got to be the egg.

Seriously, don’t lie to him and let him go on thinking he’s a nice guy. He’s not. He’s disrespectful and unbelievably selfish and he needs to know it. And thank your lucky stars you got out now, a floppy winky this early on can only be bad news

Did he text you back OP?

Helenadove.* That’s why I don’t go on MSE any more. The people who replied on that thread are arseholes, especially the one who said she wore £5 shoes.* They’re a different breed over there!

Inviting you for dinner at his house and charging you half for margaritas??? That is weird! The half an egg really made me laugh. Some people have strange peculiarities and I don't think he will change. I don't think his half an egg is very endearing. I agree you can do better. Sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs until you meet the right person.

Lemon margaritas?

Fucking savage.

YY My dog. I quit MSE back in 2011 when i joined MN.

My dog my post is on the final page of that thread.

Lemon margaritas?

I assume lemons are cheaper than limes?

Send the poor bloke a tenner and this poem:

I don’t really like mean old skinflints
So I thought that you’d be better off freezing the mince
Attached is my invoice for St Tropez
And another for sexy lingerie
Don’t worry, I’ll wire you for half the tequila
Why not invest it in a course of Viagra?
Bye for now, it was nice while it lasted
Scrub that, it was shite, and you’re a tight bastard
