Lol...did I start something? Hehe. ...Whatever. Everyone is different. Some find it it rude, some don't. End of story.
@Citanul , I'm glad some of the responses were helpful for you.
THAT is a first date with you? Too much pressure in my books. How do you know if she likes you or just likes having money spent on her?
Did she know you had bought tickets? As for the restaurant, you could have actually gone an eaten there and saved the cancellation fee. I assume you did eat dinner that night. Did you go to the show? ... as for the tux, it was cleaned for the next time you needed it ... so no loss there. I do believe that a four hour cancellation that wasn't about sickness was rude but it doesn't sound like you really missed out on anything. If she was the potential love of your life, then you would have still been interested in her when she walked back into your life...child or no child.
My goodness. That must be hard to figure out. Better just don't say you're rich unless they know who you are, yeah that's not handy. With a stranger I'd just say oh yeah I work on a farm, sounds like they hired you there to pluck apples and if you spend so much for a date they know immediately that you have money. Just go to a coffee shop or something. Oh well that's what I'd do but men never listen to my great advice. I told this to a guy and he just mentioned that he had his own company on a dating site and now he has a gold digger.Yes. No pressure. I'm actually very good at scheduling things. And I'm detail oriented. Well, as I get to know them better, women who are just "after the money" tend to slip up eventually. Ive also taken courses on body language. Pupil dilation, breathing, can determine if someone is being deceitful. Even the direction you look when you are making a statement determines whether or not that statement is a memory or a lie youre making up. That works for business meeting as well. lol
I wasn't about to go and sit by myself in a restaurant with 50 couples. Do you know how pathetic that looks? I never liked musicals. She did, but I didn't. See, when I go on a first date it is about making her feel special. Thus, for that woman, roses, candy, a nice show, and a very nice romantic restaurant. I try to get to know the woman before I ask her out. So, each first date is tailored to her.
No, because she showed herself for what she was. Flaky. As soon as she cancelled our date for some smooth talking bum, well, that said all I needed to know about her. It wasn't the kid I had a problem with, it was her. My youngest niece tried to set me up with her favorite teacher. She kept telling her how nice I am and what a great uncle I am. It kind of embarrassed me because she told her how I would sit in the floor with her and play dolls with her, have tea parties, and sing her to sleep when she stayed overnight. Her teacher had two kids, so kids aren't the problem.
I mean, I'm Mr Cool!

Lol well I only dated guys who made 600 to 900 a month so to me more than 25k is rich.I never tell people I'm rich, because I'm not rich. I do better financially than some people, but I'm in no way rich. I do have a lot of connections, though. When someone in real life asks me what I do, I usually say that I'm a farmer, which I am. Thats what I love to do. And most people that know me understand that I can get things for a great price. That's what I used to do for a living. I bought brand name, top of the line products for next to nothing, then sold them for half the price of retail stores. And it was perfectly honest and legal, because I explained how I got them, and the "down side" to buying them. In most cases, people bought them anyway. My profit to cost ratio was 1500% in some cases. Ive sold electronics that retail for $200-$300 for $150 and only had $8-$10 invested in each one.
Yeah me too and we almost never have that kind of weather. It was the worst storm in 10 years, trees fell etc. I didn't like him but I was too shy to say no and then I prayed if God could please help me out here lol. That was the last time I got on a date with anyone until I met my ex. I asked him to go to a birthday party with other people instead, so I didn't have to be alone with him. Horrible. I felt such a monster. I think it's still better to immediately say thanks but no thanks.Cancelling a date because you met someone else is ridiculous, even if it is a first date. The only time I've never had a date cancelled was due to the weather, a blizzard was blowing in and we decided to reschedule.
Lol just kidding. Who cares?
This must be the reason that people aren't honest about it when they're talking to two or more at the same time. At least she's honest.
As long as you don't assume it is a "date".
The other guy might still be there but something is still missing at this point but don't have any false ideas about it.
I'm definitely not assuming that, as it's even more casual than drinks would have. So I'm just taking it as an opportunity to see if we can get past what happened, not just from my side as I got the feeling that she was a little unsure about how I would respond when she contacted me again.
But I think we can. We exchanged numbers and sent each other messages throughout the day, so while obviously meeting in person will be the real test, things are looking promising. And plenty of couples have overcome far worse stumbling blocks than a false start like this.
Because of the way she broke things off with me, I do get the impression that she wouldn't keep multiple guys hanging around. So I don't think the other guy is still in the picture, but I am aware that I could be reading a bit too much into it, and therefore I'm not taking that as a certainty.
So I have agreed to meet her for ice-cream (her suggestion as she felt she owed it to me after messing me around), and since the weather forecast looks good, quite honestly I can't think of too many better things to do than have ice-cream with an attractive woman on a beautiful spring day.
