I do that too. Of course since I haven't actually been on a date in forever, this is all just a moo point.

I didn't ask where he took her, but based on what he told me the cost was, I'm sure it was an expensive place to dine. For me, it doesn't matter where the guy takes me, just as long as we're having fun. I don't drink wine, but I would order what I was hungry for, and I would offer to help pay, but if he insisted on paying, then what's there to complain about? I totally think he brought it on himself.

It might depend on what happened later. Maybe its not going anywhere, maybe he thought her attitude was bad. Maybe he expected more physical contact on the first date . . especially if it was a $50 glass of wine.

lol, no I don't think it was a $50.00 glass of wine. He just said it was expensive. I should have gotten more details.

He said he still likes her but now he thinks she's high maintenance.

This is what I hate about guys. They spend money on a date and then they expect to get in her pants later, and if they don't, then they call her high maintenance.

That's not true with every dude. A lot of women like to choose trifling jokers like this. Of course if you keep accepting high class gifts or any gift from him for that matter, eventually he's going to want something in return. Like James said, maybe he wanted a kiss, a hug or whatever. I know for me, if I'm taking her out to an expensive restaurant, believe me, I'm not doing it for free. Hell, I can get to know her at Subway, but I do want something in return. No, of course I'm not saying I want to see the girl with her panties around her ankles after the 1st date, those kind of women are hoes, and I don't date hoes. I at least want a hint rather it be through a kiss or a hug, that she's interested in a 2nd date to something long term. I disagree with you here.

Exactly!

He should have taken her to Micky D's, bought her a happy meal, and called it day. He's happy and her stomach is full.

If I'm not mistaken...wine is still on the menu at Chuck E. Cheese. Perhaps he ought to take her there next time. But then maybe she'll ask for too many tokens or something else...

lol lol lol I totally forgot about that. They do have wine as Chuck E. Cheese. He and I have class together, and I won't see him until next semester, but I'll mention it to him when I do.

Expensive is all relative. Some people think $6 - $8 for a glass of wine is expensive. In most restaurants, that is the cheapest glass of wine. As one of the posters have said, the glass could be $50, which IS expensive in my book.

When I was in college, we would get a "bucket" of beer for $5 at a campus bar. A bucket is typically what? Maybe 2 gallons. What do you pay now for a bottle of beer in a restaurant? At least that.

If the guy is in college his idea of expensive could be for a glass of Boone's Farm, Thunderbird or MD 20/20 (aka Mad-Dog).

What's in your wallet?

You know you are wrong for that...

But it's all cool...

To the OP:

Dude shoulda taken homegirl to Applebee's or TGI Fridays if he wasn't trying to spend $50 on a glass of wine. Girl may be from France and doesn't understand the American dating rituals.

Hayle, when I was young, I didn't order expensive items. I dated dudes who could afford high priced stuff. I ain't sayin' I was a gold digger... But I dayum sho didn't mess around with no broke...

lol, I'm really not sure how much the wine was. He was just complaining about the cost. I am laughing SO. HARD. at the broke guy comment. lol
