next time carry some change for coffee and a few dollars so he doesnt have to fork out

I met a guy (from Mingle) for a bite to eat and a little conversation. I think it went well..don't know what the future holds but I did it..I searched local profiles, found one I liked emailed him and went ahead and met up after only a few days and a few email exchanges.Yay..me.

Only thing that was a bit awkward was when I realized I had forgotten to ask for separate checks. I had fully expected to go dutch but didn't realize the situation until two hours had gone by and the check arrived (that's how comfortable I was and how well the conversation was going)...and I had no cash on me ..he graciously paid for both meals and the tip. Thinking of a couple different ways I could/should have handled it but I was also a little worried I might offend or give the impression I didn't want to meet up again.

I am sure this has been discussed many times..none-the-less I would like some input.

you could email him and apologize and stuff.


just my 2 cents

yep..I did and because I did enjoy his company I asked to meet again..my treat.

You did everything right when you emailed him to meet again and you look after the check. In my opinion, if you ask someone out for coffee etc, then it should be you that picks up the check. Good job for making the first move!

Really nice to hear about your date, thanks for sharing that with us and I hope all goes well for you both, he is certainly a gentleman.

If I ask to meet a chick, then I assume I am paying for drinks, or the meal, or all of it. My momma raised me that a man need be a gentleman and all that jazz. Mom knows best.
