Tonight's the night
41 Answers
I'm off out on my date in London tonight. I'm pretty much at ease with the whole thing (and a little bit excited!), but I just need your advice on one little detail.
If a guy asks a woman out, can she expect that he intends to foot the bill? i.e. we'll be eating at some point, and I don't mind going 'Dutch' at all, but don't quite know the polite way is of addressing this. Any ideas?

generally the person who issues the invitation will pay - nothing to do with age or gender, just a normal social principle. In fact someone did invite me to a nice restaurant a few weeks back and at the end said 'Shall we split the bill?' I didn't mind (it wasn't a romantic encounter), but it was unusual behaviour; you'd normally expect him to mention this at the time of issuing the invitation if that's what he had in mind. By all means offer to buy him a drink.
If it leads on to other meals together, the terms can be renegotiated as you get to know each other better.

Hi Ray. Sorry for the delay but I've only just spotted this!!
The date went really well. Had a lovely evening and he was the perfect gent and paid for everything. I did buy a couple of drinks though. Got on well enough, but unfortunately there is no attraction for me there. He's a fairly good looking guy, good manners, easy to talk to etc., but there just wasn't any chemistry, y'know? I did have my doubts before going out with him just whether or not I was attracted to him in that way, but gave him the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. I let him down gently and diplomatically though. :o)

Hahaha! I'd be less worried about the lack of belly button than if he had, say, a third nipple. That would freak me out a bit! :o\
Does that make me shallow?
Seriously though, Ray, I'm in no rush to meet a guy. I'm still living under my ex-boyfriend's roof so it's hardly the best timing anyway! I'm really comfortable being single anyway. I know it doesn't make me a reject. ;o)

legend, we were having a debate the other week about, god making adam, and then making eve from one of adams ribs, and I said, if that is so, why do all paintings of adam and eve, show them with belly buttons, I am confused by it, don't take much.
