You're out on a first date with a guy you really like. You've just finished dessert. The waiter brings the bill. Your man doesn't reach for it. In fact, he just lets it sit there. What do you do? Do you (a) grab the bill and pay for both of you? Or (b) suggest that you split the meal? Or (c) run for the hills?
I would say a combination of all three. First, suggest that you split the dinner 50/50, because clearly this clown is not about to pay. If he makes up some lame excuse like he doesn't have any cash or he forgot his wallet, nicely agree to pay, and then run for the hills...and I mean run. Get out of there. You don't want anything to do with this loser. I don't care if we're in the worst recession of the century, that is no way to behave on a date. If he didn't want to pay for dinner, he shouldn't have asked you out. And if he is short on cash, he could have explained that to you before you arrived at the restaurant. If someone is having financial problems, that's perfectly understandable. Then make it a date for coffee instead of a meal, or an evening out at a free concert in the park. There are ways around money problems. But there is no way around plain rudeness.
Run, girl, run.
