I let a guy know that I'm a bum before we date, I rarely every pay just because the guys I date happen to be pretty loaded. Not sugar daddy loaded(never had one), but way better off than me.

But I'm heading back to school and getting pretty close to finding a decent job to support me. So eventually I'll be able to afford a date.

Heh, I kinda panic if someone thinks I'm a bum, which I kinda was for years when I was unemployed, but still, I feel bad about it. Nothing wrong to get paid for, but I don't want someone to think I'm a charity case in the long run either.

Oh well, I said I wanted a traditional date with dinner, something afterwards and maybe a walk or something, and told him maybe it feels a bit short to drive 200km just for that, but he said it would be totally worth it.

I just think of it as me doing him a favor, I'm letting him pick up the tab and accepting the kind gesture. I always make sure to thank them, because it really is a great thing to do for someone.

SpaceBridge, where do you live? I just saw a guy that had your hair and looked a lot like you. Was it you?!

Have I said or done anything to indicate otherwise?

All of your posts on this page have made me equally dubious. I didn't think there were actually people who patted themselves on the back after letting somebody else pay for their meal. Please tell me you were joking.

I just never thought I'd ever come across someone as shallow as you.

You tell a guy you're a bum because you only date rich guys, or a tleast guys who can take care of you. You think you're doing him a favor by having them support you. You must be a joke.

There's nothing wrong with letting someone feel good about their action, I'm happy I was able to keep them company and actually they extend their gratitude to pay. I'm also the type of person that doesn't beleive in a selfless deed.

I don't target the rich, they just happen to be better of than I, and I'm brutally honest about my situation prior to anything. It'll come up regardless when we start the friendly banter about our jobs and careers. But I've never asked or put anyone it a situation that would force them to pay.

I just never thought I'd ever come across someone as shallow as you.

I suppose that's a fair judgement from the few sentences I've spoken in this thread.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Sorry, but you come off as an incredibly shallow person. I'm sure you're attractive and worth the goods, but you seem like the type of people I like to stay away from.

Exactly. I'm sure I could make some of you feel the exact same way. ^_^

So if the date ends badly do you just stare at each other in silence until you dine and dash?

I've never had a bad date, at leats not that bad. Nor do I refuse to pay my share.

Selfless deeds exist, because the process of maintaining the view of 'self' can be suspended and thus it isn't an intrinsic part of who we are as individuals, and in a rather easy way too (mindfulness meditation is one such way), though usually it is a momentary phenomenon and our conditioning kicks in a second later because that is our normal mode of seeing things, but seeing 'selflessness' as a central factor of our unadorned reality doesn't take much of an investment of effort and the result is that we see how shallow our conception of 'self' really is. It's still a hard habit to break, but it's hardly substantial.

edit: Speaking of meditation, I need to stop procrastinating, gonna go do that now.

I want to apologize to anyone I've offended, it's just the way I view any kind gesture/act/favor. Give or take.

i did it.

I don't think any of us are offended, as we're not the ones dating you, but I certainly wouldn't want to go on a date with somebody who felt like he was being charitable by seeing me, which is the impression I get from your posts.

Pffffffft.

You wouldn't know he felt like that if you did date him, though. Unless he tells them that, too.

I feel that one should be grateful whenever someone accepts their gratitude/offer. Hardly anything to do with charity, although the last guy I was with would definitely count as charity.

 

[Dany]

You are precious.

I'll drop the subject after this, but to be perfectly clear, you think the other person should be grateful when you allow them to pay because you're accepting their offer?

I wonder if the guys think of it as a possibility for something serious, or if they just see it as a one time thing. If it's the former, pity on them.

 

[Karuyag]

maybe they just jelly of DR2K's innate ability to be paid for... edit: getting guys to pay for him

 

[DR2K]

It's a mixed bag, but it really has to do with establishing them as the smart bread winning alpha male than anything else. I find that when I play the role of an (subtle)air head/jackass the chances for a 2nd, 3rd, 4th date go up dramatically. Could be intimitated by my body/looks, have inferiority complexes, etc. . . I see through most guys by the end of the dinner.

DR2K looks like he could be related to the hotgymnast dude.

So are you saying you're not going to pay for me? ;_;
