HOWEVER- that has nothing to do with what was actually wrong with this date. it has to do with how utterly rude this man was.

rude, is being asked where you would like to go, leaving the choice to the person you’re going with, and then being upset/critical because you don’t like what they chose.

rude, is leaving ANYONE standing in the freezing cold, man OR woman. i have had to taxi to dates, and had my date flag a taxi for me. being cold, i have insisted that he join me, even if we are going separate ways, and paid my fare home first. why? because it’s POLITE. not because it’s pc.

rude, is asking someone on a date, and not making it clear that you intend to go dutch or not pay. it would be just as rude for a woman to go on a date and automatically pick up the check, as it would be for a man to sit there and stare at it.

as far as you being a 5 and refusing to date less than 8′s- obviously not working for you, or you wouldn’t still be dating, you’d be married. umm… you probably wouldn’t be on a ‘worst dates’ site either. i’m willing to bet those 8′s drop you when they find 8′s and higher with more money than you. if in fact they would even bother to date such a revolting person. i’ve dumped “tens” for “twos” because the “two” was honestly a better person than the “ten”. looks are great, but it’s substance that separates art from scribbling.

judge not, lest ye be judged? are you really quoting the bible? you judge people based on looks and live your life ruled by income. vanity and greed are sins. take your own advice.

laura, you are a doormat. if you believe that giving a man your number is equivalent to asking him out on a date, you probably also assume if a man pays for your dinner he pays for your body.

There’s an old saying: The golden rule is that he has the gold, makes the rules. When I accepted that I, as the man, was still held to 1950′s rules that the man has to pay then I stopped feelling guilty about my own sexism. I’m honestly a 5 out of 10. I refused to date less than 8′s. And why not? There are far more attractive women out there than 30 something guys with money (especially in this economy) and if I was a jerk, I didn’t apologize for it.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

I hate the rule that guys are expected to pay it all on the first date. Don’t know how expensive the restaurant was, but might have been out of his price range. And he’s not the one who chose to grab the cab, either.

*shrugs*

If someone expected me to pay on a first date then I would be a little turned off, but if there was chemistry then I would probably give him another chance.
