Now don't get me wrong, I like to offer to pay on the odd occasion when I might be feeling flush or there is someone in my life worth treating. BUT, women that just expect us to pay grinds my gears.
Long story short. I met a lady from work at the Xmas party. We met up for a few drinks on another occasion. I forgot to go to the cash machine so put my card behind the bar and asked what she would like to drink. I bought a couple of rounds and on the 3rd thought she might offer. No offer so thought maybe she will offer some cash at the end of the night. Continued to by drinks and even some food. £60 later we decide to call it a night. Nothing! No offer, not even an opportunity for me to say no it's ok, my treat. Infact thinking about it.... not even a thank you.
Anyway, I got over it. Proceeded back to gets. Pasty Smash. A few days later I get a text. So Mr, when are you taking me out again. To be honest, it was enough to make me not want to bother.
Story 2. Lucky me, I went out Friday night and got talking to someone else. We've been texting a couple of times since and I asked if she wants to meet up sometime. She says yes, I ask what would she like to do.... 'Whatever you can afford to pay for'. WTF!
Am I over reacting? Like I say, I don't mind paying, it'd just be nice to a) at least have an offer or even a "i'll get this one" and b) if not a, a thank you.
