I'm a business student and as much as this relates to keeping track of how much you spend, when going out, I can't help but think there is an underlying message to be learned from reading this. People are shallow I get that and it is important to keep track of your finances, but to purposely play games/manipulate for personal gain and pride. *laughing my ass off* Thank god you didn't get me as date, I would have stiffed you for the bill and grabbed a couple shots on the way out ;). Wow this article just made my day lol.

People actually keep track of that? Kind of pathetic if you ask me. Dating shouldn't be about how much you spend or have spent on you. Both of those people need to do some serious thinking about what they're doing... Wow. People actually keep track of that? Kind of pathetic if you ask me.

Goes to dinner and when she is ordering her entree asks the waiter what is the biggest lobster they have that night. Waiter checks and tells her its 5 lbs. She orders it at a price of $150, and that's just the lobster. My friend is furious but plays it cool and orders himself a nice steak. Smartly, he excuses himself to head to the bathroom and ducks out of the restaurant. Never talked to the women again, but I am sure that she must have gotten stuck with the bill.

I broke up with him the next time we met up, and as soon as he realized the direction of the evening he ordered the most expensive item on the menu and insisted that I pay the bill (we usually went Dutch).
