So, this guy asked me out on a date. He told me to get dressed up nice, and I actually wore a skirt, something that is very rare for me. He ended up taking me to this local Italian restaurant--cute enough, but certainly not skirt-worthy.
Anyway, dinner was nice. Conversation was great, we were having a wonderful time, the food was delicious. When our bill came, he just looked at me with a sheepish expression on his face. Knowing which direction he was going, I grabbed it and payed, annoyed. He said something about not having a whole lot of money and how he would "make it up to me."
The rest of the night went well and I forgot all about the fact that although I was the one asked out, I paid. We went to the lake and sat on the pier, talking for hours.
I agreed to go out with him more, and by this time he was using the word "girlfriend" casually. We always had fun, however, he never did quite make up our first date to me. In fact, every time we went out, we usually split the bill or I paid. I don't know how I allowed myself to always get suckered into paying, but I did.
True, this guy was paying for college out of his own pocket, but then again, I was as well, and the only reason why I had money was because I worked my ass off at a full time job, while also going to school full-time.
So, what do you think? Was he rude, cheap, or just stupid? And was I stupid for letting it happen?
