The Dinner Situation

“…I know of a great steak house…”

“I’d love to take you there. My treat.”

...I’ve been craving a steak all week. My mouth waters every time I think of it. Happy, as I’m finally seated and handed the menu... am so close to this I can literally smell it. As I open the menu and point out the best dish in the house, Mr. “My Treat” says, “Woah! You’re an expensive girl!”

Well! You can only imagine how horrified I was after such a snide remark. I was completely baffled and finding it hard to speak. What's a girl to do? I did the only logical thing I could think of; I offered to spilt the cost. (I am well aware that we are in a recession mind you). But he insisted I get whatever I want.

Well like any sane person, I glanced over the menu again hoping to find something within a more reasonable price for my friend with the tight wallet. I took my time looking it over, while trying to calm myself down so I wouldn’t open my smart mouth and put this guy in his place. (The gall this guy had!)  I finally found a cheap enough salad, looked up and asked what he was having.

He responded, “Well tell me what you’re getting first.”

It’s then I knew that this man was CHEAP!!!!! I told him I was getting a salad and wouldn't you know it he was getting the same! I was extremely disappointed to say the least, not only because I didn’t get my steak but because this guy talked a big talk but like so many others, he couldn’t deliver! 

So here’s the moral of the story, don’t offer to take a girl out if you cant afford it. This is the very reason why men with without proper funds should not date. I know that sounds very superficial, but lets try to remember that HE asked ME! Oh did I mention, he ordered an $11 glass of wine when he already downed half a bottle at his place???

So I ask, is it really that hard to give a girl a steak?

The Facebook Situation

...thought I’d be bold and take charge; go after what I wanted. After countless self administered pep talks, I felt empowered and brave enough! Thinking, 'if I always sit around waiting for the guy to make all the moves, I’ll never get anywhere'. Well the feeling of empowerment didn’t last long…

I approached him on Facebook after only one meeting. My best friend did most of the recon work considering this guy is her cousin. I said the things I would want a guy to say to me and gave him my phone number. I wanted to meet in person to see if there was a spark but he mentioned he was busy the whole month because he was moving. He said we could talk via FB until his schedule cleared up. I agreed after making it clear that so long as it was temporary.

More than a month later I suggested again that we should meet up. After a week he finally wrote back and said this month was bad as well. His classic line had turned into, “…soon, but until then we can be friends here on facebook, if you like.”

Why would he say he is interested in getting to know me only to constantly put me off? You can only converse through Facebook messages for so long! After a while you want some human contact with the person you are getting to know.
Come on, is it really that hard?

A Frustrating Situation

Heres the Situation....

We've been seeing each other for a couple months now and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere...this guy doesn't really make the "move" and I don't like how he isn't taking control in that way...its weird...I just want to say "I WANT U" but I don't want to come off as the aggressive one...is that too hard?
