Today, I was on a first date. When the bill came, he refused to pay for my $6 salad. I had to go ATM-hunting to pay for my $6 salad. FML

Why do you expect the guy to pay on the first date? You obviously had no intend of paying, so you left your money home in case he did not pay for you. But boohoo he didn't anyway. Also, you sound like a girl that only orders a salad and then eats half the food of other peoples plates.

Why do I think it should be that way, to me, it's just common curtisy and girls like to be wined and dined every now and then! First dates are a chance to show me your self and your manners and not to say "hey baby, you got this one???" I have a boyfriend now for about a year and we do split the bills, I pay for dinner, he pays for movie... ect but first dates are specially and I like to be treated respectifully on a first date... call me old fashion....

What are you doing outside of the kitchen? Or do you just take the beneficial old fashion things? Sounds like what feminists do, whine about equality and then whine if you have to work the same hours as a man and don't get excused from work for stubbing your toe.

Contrary to what may of the "progessive" people here are saying, a guy shoud ALWAYS pay for the first date, it's especially disrespectful not to. I hate the 'we're not in the 1950s anymore' mentality, what the hell has happened to our sense of gentleman/lady standards? It is it so wrong that the fairer sex should be treated with a bit of courteousness, or is calling them 'fair' also antiquated and sexist? I'm not the type to rant, but this really is one of the more frustrating pretentions of modern thinking.

Men and women being equal has nothing to do with social etiquette. Has society really lost its soul so much that everything is tit-for-tat? The two genders are not the same emotionally and phsically, and we should embrace the differences in our culture. The life of 'total equalness' is so bland and tasteless that it could only come from pretention, not genuine care.

So woman are "emotionally" entitled to not pay for their own food in the company of a man?

#97 since you love antiquated standards so much... ...get back in the kitchen, dont expect to go to college, you dont get to vote and you are considered your husband's property. you are simply a vessel for popping out and taking care of kids. ^ now, that is assuming you truly want the antiquated standards to be accepted...

I agree that men should pay for LADIES. Hold open the door and be a gentlemen. Doesn't sound to me like the OP was much of a lady, though. She probably wouldn't have offered to pay for ANYTHING on the date, come up with any ideas, make any first moves or be thankful for anything a gentleman would have offered.

You're an idiot for not bringing money on a first date. While it's nice when guys offer to pay, women have fought for equality, so we can buy our own damn salads.

I said you where too young to have finished a specialized education, and the fact that you have a child at such a young age and single, makes it seem like you didn't make the best decisions.

Why would having a child be a bad choice? I have agreed with everything you've said, but generalizing everyone who doesn't take the traditional college route is just plain wrong.

I don't generalize people who don't think the same as I do, but I do think that getting a child when young is probably not the greatest thing. Because being a student and paying for your place to live are pretty much work by themselves. So imagine going to school, working (full time) AND taking care of your kid. I don't see how I could concentrate on my studies. This is why I think its not a great choice.

Having a child at just about any age is usually a very bad idea. I'm interested to know what void was missing from her life that made her think she had to have a child at such a young age. You're in your 20s, you should be establishing yourself, not surrendering yourself. You should be expanding your mind and travelling the world, living freely instead of being tied down to a shit machine.

@35 i agree with you that she should have brought money just incase. but come on, the 1950s? yes we have jobs. yes we have our own money. but dont you guys have two arms? make you own goddamn sandwhich! women expect/and hope men to be gentlemen. its not that we're whiney bitches, its just part of ettiquette. just like holding the door for someone. if HE asked her on the date, its understood he's paying. unless he had made it clear theyre just friends then op would deserve it
