I’m cursing myself for falling for the stupid mistake of paying for the bill in one of my previous dates in the last few months.
My mistake was paying for the bill in total, something which I don’t usually do.
So what happened?
Well we were having a good time, chatting away and I suggested how about having some food? (because we were in a place where we could switch from drinks to food without moving) she agreed, time had flown by and she was also hungry.
After eating and deciding yes its about time we actually went home, we asked for the bill. Bill comes and I can’t remember exactly what happened but I’m pretty sure I said “Hey no worries I got this one…”
Of course I never really heard from her again. Except shes actually a friend of friends (trying not to give away who it was)
Anyhow months later we bump into each other and I ask her what happened?
The crux seemed to be she wasn’t comfortable with being paid for… Something I can relate to, and something which I usually go out of my way to avoid. What had happened is I thought I’d try paying and seeing what happens, maybe things will turn out different if I listened to thoughts of Ngunan Adamu and others over time.
Well I was right! Her original thoughts of a modern gentleman, was dashed when I picked up the whole bill. And the only person to blame is myself… Yes it was a bit of an experiment on my part but it felt weird for me and I assume felt even weirder for her. Its a shame because although not my usual type of woman, I was certainly interested and would have liked to have gone on a second date…
Moral of this little tale… Should have gone Dutch…!
