Date night

Today, I got into a heated argument at a restaurant with a guy I am seeing because he refused to let me pay for the bill and I thought it was sexist. When he finally agreed, I gave the waiter my card, only to have him return a minute later telling me it was declined. FML

girl, it's just polite, classy, traditional. get over yourself it's nothing to get in a heated argument about, either. come on, if you offer to pay half and he declines, accept graciously. it makes you seem like less of a bitch.

Wow...there's really no need to get into a heated argument about it.

Okay, honestly I am a woman too, and I would never think its sexist that he wants to pay the bill. That's being nice. Plus that's just SOOOO stupid! Why the heck would you ever think it's sexist for that and I hate people who would even consider calling things being sexist and stuff. Both woman and men have their place in the world and are totally different, we like different things and do different things, we have our own roles so no one has any right to say anything or one is sexist or that there's actually such thing as being sexist.

It's not sexist It's just the nice thing to do God if a guy wanted to buy me lunch Why say no? A free Meal DUUH That's just wrong not to make a guy pay for you

Don't be a ******* idiot. The guy is supposed to pay. You could just politely refuse instead of making a scene. I don't get feminists.

Dumb bitch.....YDI. I hope he paid for himself and left your ass there!

YDI. I ******* hate feminazi's like you....makes me embarassed to be a girl.

That's when you shut the door in front of her and say "open it then, I was just trying to be nice"

I've done this before and it wasn't because I thought the guy was sexist it was because he told my friend the person who hooked us up that he was sick of girls using him for money so every time he payed I always left my part of the check where he could find it later. Which was understandable since every girl he's ever been with made him pay for everything and then cheated him. The poor guy caught his ex-wife cheating on him during their honeymoon. And guys who say that women shouldn't have jobs of their own are sexist. Am a young woman and I work in emergency care more than likely seen things that some men can't even dream of and am happy I don't need a man to take care of me but am not saying that it wouldn't be nice to have one in my life.

It is not sexist to pay a bill :P YDI.

okay i get that you wanted to pay, its fine that you wanted to... but seriously, getting into an argument over it is stupid. you have a good guy that is willimg to pay for you and you give him hell. its called compromise. let himm pay but ask to pay next time. or split the bill. but theres no reason toyell at him when hes just trying to be a good guy.
