Some men feel the need to tell me about their entire medical histories on our first date. I recently had a guy who dropped out of med school for "personal reasons", spend the next 3 hours telling me about his meds and ailments. This was only broken up by him telling me about his family issues including a crazy sister who, and this was the topper, he and his family were basically just waiting to kill herself. A. Who says that????? B. Who says that on a first date????
What is wrong with people?

OOOOhhhh here's a goody!
To make a (very) long story (very) short - he comes to pick me up and since he's not from NY (but here visiting) he told me to pick the place. I picked a cute Israeli style cafe local in Brooklyn where a meal ranges between 12-15 on average and he spent the first 30 hour going on and on about how expensive the food was! He insulted the waitress the whole meal, complained about the food, the service and everything else he could think of.
2. After eating our meal we were going to see a movie. I should have called it a night after his despicable display or lacking any sort of manners, but I really wanted to see the movie so I thought ok ill go to the movie and then call it. We get to the theatre and he tells me "I'm going to park. Get out. Get on line and buy the tickets. I paid for dinner this ones on you"
3. Halfway through the movie he leans over and whispers (out of nowhere) "you have beautiful breasts" I tried to pretend I was so into the movie I didn't notice but it started to be hard to ignore after he went onto "Do you want me?" EEWWW no I don't shut up and go away!
4. At the end of the night.. he was dropping me off and so I told him "Well I had a great time (not really.. but what can you do) but I just don't think were compatible. So I want to thank you for the date and I wish you luck" and his response was "well then since we aren't going to date lets just have some fun" And then I said "no. I don't want to have "fun" with you. The truth is I just think you're a very nice person at all." And to this he answers "oh God this again??? Why do women always tell me this Bullsh*t"
I left out a LOT because I can write a book about this pig but just to add one more highlight... the next morning he texts me "I want to make love to you"
Seriously??

If you can't afford to date....at least be creative
I am not saying I am a jap or snob (all the time at least) but I do expect that the first couple of dates to be treated. Even when I offer to pay my share or the tab in whole, the answer should be no!
Now, this especially holds true when my date picks a location that for all intents and purposes will require SOME sort of payment.
I went on a date with a guy, who on date #1 seemed really cool. We went to a bar on the UES, had appetizers and a couple of drinks and he payed without any thought about it all. He even wanted to continue the date and go somewhere else after...which I politely declined, thinking lets keep the date short and simple while it's still good.
The next week we planned to go on date #2, which he chose to be a Sunday day date at the Museum of Natural History. I arrive at the museum at 2:00pm as scheduled and when we get inside, I recall that I get Corporate discounts so we go up to that line and look at all the options for the museum. Do we just do the museum? Do we do IMAX? Light show? Special Exhibits??
We discuss it for a few minutes at the counter and he basically says he's up to doing whatever I want. I figured lets do it up, how often am I at the museum? The price for the full package was $26 per person. At this point, my gentleman of a date says "ummm so I got $17 to my name"..... this boy had no cash beyond that, doesn't own credit or debit cards or any other form of currency.
I should have said something like "well why dont we do something else then?" or he should have said "why dont we do the basics first?" and maybe not tell me just how broke he was....but whatever i was all excited for the museum and I shelled over the difference and paid for myself and the difference of his ticket....
Later on, we took an air break and he walked over to the hot dog cart and started riffling through his pockets looking for spare change to buy a hot dog. The generous person I am said "I got it!" and paid for the dog. At that point I decided to ask him if he had no more money how he was gonna eat that night......"Mom is ordering chinese for us" was the answer to that.

Suffice it to say DATE #2 was the last date.........
If you cant afford to go out thats fine, but then plan a cheap date. There are plenty of things to do in NYC that require no more than $17 and I wouldnt have had to feel bad the whole time.
