    Wow what the fuck.

    What is so hard about going over to the woman you clearly weren't going anywhere with and telling her you thought she was lovely but the two of your were politically incompatible. Fucking fifteen awkward seconds of your life to spare someone's feelings. Really too much for you to give away huh?

    Then he ends up paying and may have to deal with a scene.

    Who makes a scene on the first date? I'd just laugh at her.

    Having a girl scream at you in public always makes you look like the bad guy no matter what the reason is.

    Who freaks out on a first date? You guys are imagining things that just aren't very likely.

    And so what if you look like 'the bad guy'. It's funny imo. Just smile and turn and say 'it's alright folks, it's our first date, she's a little nervous'.

    A normal person wouldn't but people are weird.

    Also your last comment just makes me assume you've never had a girlfriend lose her shit with you in public.

    No because I'm too cool and don't do tactless shit.

    Was chatting to a couple of serial Tinder-ers in the office over a beer recently and there's a fair few head cases out there and there's a good reason why they're single.

    Who pays seems to still be a problem as well. The standard still seems to be the guy offers to pay, but the key is for the woman to offer to pay half and you can either agree if it didn't go well, or suggest she pays for the next date if everything is good. If a woman doesn't offer to pay half then you know she's a princess and you wouldn't call her back anyway.

    Anyway, long story short. Guy at work offers to pay in full (edited: wrote half before), gets shouted at in the restaurant for making the suggestion, having the audacity to think she can't pay her way, etc. Then at the end of the night, is surprised that he doesn't want to see her again.

    This is my understanding of the protocol too; seems to work for me.

    Does not compute. If he's only offering half how is that thinking she can't pay her own way?

    That said, I always offer to pay the whole thing every time whether I like her or not. I've been on some first dates who rubbed me the wrong way, but never did it occur to me to lolbail without saying anything. I've cut a couple short though, and never got a freaked out reaction about it. Maybe I need to date more immature women, dunno.
