he made me buy my own balls

tonight i went on a second date. i think i knew on the first date it wasn't going to go anywhere, but given we had a mutual friend, i thought it best I investigate a bit further rather than tossing him to the curb - which I seem to do more frequently than not.

The number of unsuccessful matches over the past year or so is not lost on me. I do know that I either have unachievably high standards or likely perhaps, some sort of mental block against nice, cute, intelligent, normal, available men. I see my friend E tapping her nose and pointing at me over the admission of the latter.

anyway, it's 8:30 (PM) and i'm home from my date which started at 4:30 at the driving range, at which, he made me pay for my own balls.

and dinner

and oh, drinks and dinner on the first date too.

I am all for going dutch or trading off and I don't expect the man to pay for everything, but not once, on either date did he at all offer to get the bill. Not even the typical "you get it the next time" which if I actually do have a 'next time', gladly keep my end of the bargain.

Of course if I was interested in him, this all might not have bothered me that much...but given I ALSO WALKED HIM HOME...it really does.
