the fact that he was "fronting" for your friends is all the more reason to take the high road....

doesn't sound easy - but if you can do it - it feels GREAT...

you not giving a sh** will be the worst thing that's ever happened to him.

HE WANTS YOU TO BE UPSET ABOUT IT WHEN YOU SEE HIM - THAT'S HOW HE KNOWS HE GOT TO YOU....

Don't give him that - he SOOO doesn't deserve it!!!

I agree with Fredi! as hard as it will be, dont give this guy a second thought. Dont be rude but dont go out of your way to be polite either. You did a much better job at holding your tongue than I would have. I dont think I could have played nice in that situation I would have told him exactly what was on my mind. I commend you! Girl you have something I don't!

I always feel bad making guys pay a lot. But the first date, definitely. Other times, it's ok to split it, I think. I can't wait what Jaydon the Magnificent Ass did. Updated On: 11/28/04 at 02:27 AM

Blah. I'm too cute for this. I'd have paid for you.

Part of me thinks the high road is good, the other part thinks that you need to straighten this boy out. He has no idea how to treat a lady, calling her fat.

I have to be off, my monitor's acting up again. Sorry to run off on you and goodnight!

Fredi, you sure know what you're talking about, you've probably experienced something like this, have you not?

And Tiff, just move on from this. There's nothing else you can do. It's over and done with. You don't have to go through it with him ever again. Just do what Fredi says (because wow is she wise, haha!) and go on with your life.

And he looks relieved and goes, "Oh, I'm glad you have your wallet with you. I hate thsoe girls who expect guys to pay for them all the time. Espcially since you ate more than I did, it seems fair that you pay." And I'm thinking, he said he would pick up MY tab and now what? But I couldn't be a bitch and be all, "You said you'd pay for me." right??


And I'm like, this little mofo wants to go dutch. But I grit my teeth and pull out my share of the bill. (Btw, I HATE going dutch. I find it tacky.) Then I realize he's not pulling out his wallet.

I think I would have said, No thank you I will pay for my own dinner. I dont want anything from you.

Posted: 11/28/04 at 2:32am

...NUH UH...Did he make you pay?

[camerangel]

Posted: 11/28/04 at 2:32am

He mad eyou pay for the whole dinner? Oh no he didn't.. You are such a better person than I am.. I couldn't have done that

You guys are so right. I'm glad it's almost the end of the semester. I have a pounding headache just thinking about this. (BTW, Shbrt, I ordered that "He's Just Not That..." book on amazon.ca last night so I should be getting it soon! I saw it on Oprah and I was thinking that book is made for me!!)


Anyway, so I look at him expectantly, since I've put down the $40 for my meal.

[ckeaton]

Posted: 11/28/04 at 2:33am

he's a jerk.

[ShbrtAlley44]

Posted: 11/28/04 at 2:34am

Definitely. Such a good book.

I can't wait. Then what?

May I just say that the award for BIGGEST DOUCHE in the UNIVERSE goes to your horrible date Tiff.

I'm so sorry to hear of this and I feel for you.

And his end came to like, $35 or something. And he pulls out something like $25 (I don't remember exactly, just not enough to cover his bill even without tips). And he shrugs TOTALLY insincerely, puts the $20 down and goes, "Oh, I guess I didn't bring enough. I don't want to break my $50. Can you pay the rest?"

f*** him (or not as the case may be...

[HeyMrMusic]

Posted: 11/28/04 at 2:36am

Ugh. Douche is a good word for him right about now, thanks Chris.

Doesn't want to break his $50? Um...
