Just wondering really.....
Been out this weekend for food and drinks Saturday and Sunday with a man I've been casually seeing for a few weeks.
With regards the drinks we went in rounds which I think is fair enough. He paid for the food but when leaving the restaurant handed me the receipt which I took as his way of letting me know how much I owed. When I got home I sent him the money for the couple of meals we'd had.
I've been out of the dating game a very, very long time as had been married 21 years. I have no issue with paying my way, but watching First Dates last night made me realise that men usually pay on a date. And if I'm being really honest I would have been very impressed if he had done and not handed me the receipt!

Find it incredible on this day and age that you would expect the man to foot the whole bill. How embarrassing for him to have to give you the receipt before you took the hint

I'd have offered to pay half the bill in the restaurant.
However, him handing you the receipt like that is really off putting. I wouldn't see him again

If he wanted to go halves he should have waited to pay the bill.
