I would never expect her to pay. I may be old school, but I figure if I invite you out to dinner, I expect to pay. I know some in this modern day like to go "Dutch" as they call it, but I prefer not to - I *HATE* splitting a bill at the table. I'd rather "I'll get this one you get the next", but if they insist on splitting it I won't make a scene. Likewise, if they insist on paying I wont make a scene, and will accept graciously, but I don't expect that, and will usually disagree at first.
One of my ex girlfriends had an issue as she wanted to pay her half, but couldn't where I often took her. So we had an agreement - when we went to my choice of venue, I paid, her choice she paid - and it worked. I loved her local Korean restaurant that served great food and the staff were lovely - I also liked my favorite Japanese one where they served great food and the staff were lovely too. Meant we could both enjoy what we liked, and stick within our means. |

Further, one of my fav sports, and this is generally the action of the distaff is to observe them at lunch at a generally expensive restaurant divvy up the bill when it comes. Most of the time these ladies are married to men of means but you'd think they had saved up for 2 years for this lunch. They go on for 10 or 15 minutes about who had the extra shrimp cocktail and why is this damn vodka tonic on my bill, I only drink Bloody Mary's. It happens time and time again. Generally with the same ones. It's pathetic. Like you, with my friends, someone picks up the whole thing and a different person gets it next time. We've been friends for 45+ years. It all comes out in the wash.

The more I spend time on dating apps or dating in the general world... the more I realized the world has gone to shit... and rapidly... years of feminist policies, career over family and mass communication w the ability of apps, social media etc... has ruined what was once great.

Nothing, because he was found years ago in the parking lot at Giants' Stadium in The Meadowlands. My own picture of the crime scene:

Whew, glad that's finally solved. Nice work mang. Now we can move on to DB Cooper. I found a dime buried in some dirt in my backyard today, I'm pretty sure it came from him.

Hm. Holding comments. For those playing along at home, you know my silence won't last. I just want to ensure that before I speak, that I speak with purpose. I'll watch things unfold before I say this is doomed.
Oh shit, look at that. I already did it. |

If same, what was he doing there, and what do you mean he won't recognize you - you said you "shot your shot" so that means you talked to him and that right? |

2 or 3 weeks later, however long it’s been since then I see him on the dating app. Shooting my shot means I hit the “Like” button on his profile |

That.....isn't shooting your shot. But I suppose if the app only lets you hit like and not actually send any messages, then its the best you could do, since you didn't see him in person.
But I'm back following the plot line again, so thanks! |
