Be Very Afraid: First Date Red Flags
Asks you to pay or wants to go dutch
If a gentleman asks you out on a date, that gentleman has assumed responsibilities for the financial portion of the date. It’s no different than when a colleague asks you to lunch, proper etiquette says that they will pick up the bill. If the brother pulls a “Hey, you pay for you and I’ll pay for me” or even worse, a “Can you pay for us?”, well damn baby girl, you could have got food by yourself (and for less) instead of dealing with this buster (Dr. Dre accent). Don’t get me wrong, if I invite you to dinner and you want to get all fancy and head to Cipriani’s…Let me just remind you that a brother works for a non-profit; I’m not swinging like that on the first date. However, overall, it’s customary that fellas pick up the tab on the first date, anything else would be uncivilized.
