Re: Going Dutch or is Chivalry Still Alive?
I guess the point was that by not even offering to pay…she came across as being unappreciative. I choose a “story” that was on the extreme…but I have guy friends (and even hear DF’s friends talk)…and many times I’ve heard them say that when they go out with girls…1st, 2nd,3rd whatever date…how they’re bothered by the fact that the girls don’t even OFFER. Whether they’re spending $1000, $100, or even $10…the lack of offering makes them feel that the girl doesn’t appreciate their efforts or isn’t giving recognition that they’re making an effort. These are not guys who can’t afford to shell out thousands of dollars…and the girls they date aren’t poor either. Its not about the guys thinking “Oh man I spend sooooo much and she didn’t pay”…its them thinking “I took her out and every time I pay…and she doesn’t even care enough to even OFFER to pay once. She automatically expects that I’ll pay for everything”.
