Had the worst date ever . May be eating out as a consultant has spoilt me. I am about to order and my date says well that's too expensive . Can we order something cheaper? I said I m paying .. FU

@OP - Since your day picked the restaurant, you have my sympathy. Your date should have figured out the cost beforehand, he was trying to impress you but lacked actual follow through. A bit of foresight and planning would have prevented the awkwardness.

Wow, okay. Tell you what we're gonna make this right. We're gonna crowdsource a date for you. So your ex-date can get a redo and you get fulfillment of being worthy of being spent 29 bucks on for dinner.

Yea not a flattering look by date. Either he was super cheap or just realized that he didn't see a future with you and wanted to save some cash. This would've been a savage date move.

@PWC2 it wasn't about the money. I dont mind paying half . I always offer .
It's just the entitlement that some one else can order for me makes me mad

Thanks @A1. Being stupid is such a turn off. I didn't ask to goto the most expensive place . We could have gone to chick fil a and I would have happily devoured the sandwich. Alas no long term vision and hence no action

I've been on drinks dates that have cost more than that

No need to take it out on OP though ^

If the chicken was $29 I can't imagine you would have even found anything much cheaper. Maybe he was hoping you'd have some salad with your water. This cracked me up.

D2, yeah sometimes I too just treat the 50 dollars as a discount and go fine dining and pay the remainder with my personal card or some weeks do meal averaging.

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.
