I guess I haven't read all of these women posts about the man paying because I am pretty new around these here parts.

So let me stick up for the guys here: If 2 people meet on-line and set up a first date, I'd say there's a 75% chance these 2 people will never go out again. So heck yeah, it should be split or the woman should at least offer (genuinely) to split. On the flip side, D-Lion, if they offer then why not take them up on it? If you think it's a test, then why pay twice is much when you probably won't go out with the girl again? (These are real questions by the way, not rhetorical)

You are exactly right, as am I.

Flawless logic.

New to the online dating and to this discussion board - so apologies if this has been discussed before. Just had a really nice first date with a funny, quirky lady. We met for drinks and lingered for around three hours. After the date, we were outside and I was trying to hail her a cab. I mentioned that we should get together again sometime, to which she replied, "Sure, call me." Then a cab pulls up and is waiting for her, so I am not sure how to end the date (hug? handshake? godnight kiss?) and after an akward pause, she walks away, turns and waves goodbye then gets into the cab. Does she really want me to call? And PS, is it a sign of disinterest that she split the tab when the bill came?
Why dont you just call and find out? We cant know what she *personally* is thinking.

For me personally, if I split the tab or offer to pay in any capacity then I am not interested.

If you didn't, I am not interested.

I am confident that another year won't hurt my desirability. Are you?

lol sorry DL, I'm just not desperate. Moreover, most of the men in my area, fortunately for me, have no problem paying for me if they want to date me.

Anyway, I still think you're sweet.

This sounds like a large dataset.

Why are you still single?

Do we have to go over the paying thing again? Some people (both men and women), prefer the man to pay for the first few dates. Others (again, both men and women) prefer to split the bill. Neither one is the correct way of dating, they're two different styles. Some people on both sides are way too uptight about touting their approach as superior.

So back to the actual topic....as others have said, if she asked you to call her, call her. She may have meant it or she may just been trying to be polite, but you're guaranteed not to get a second date if you do nothing. Don't sell yourself short.

It is a large "dataset" and a nice and "healthy" one too!

There was this guy even yesterday....

But no, I have other things going on in my life now where I don't want to make time for someone. Not really even sure if I ever want to get in a relationship again. These things need to be ironed out before I will consider dating again.

And then I will get older and even less marketable. Oh well. Its the chance I take.
