Dating is Expensive, Holy Hell!

meh, if 600 pound sushi monster does that to his friends and they are well aware of it, he has bigger problems than the rest of you, actually the really cruel thing to do would be to make sure this happens more often and that he gets even bigger on yummy noms, then when she breaks up with you he'll be all, "wow I really miss Dubbs.".

I'm about 10 weeks into dating this girl I met online. Things are going really well. She met my fam several times, funny, smart, lives close, independent and not a push over.

Yes... Yes she is. And you were all a push over if you let him do that.

The only way this isnt true is if your lady or her friends invited him out under the premise that they would help cover his tab...
 
Late to the party but I'll play anyway. $45? for two? Unrealistic expectations, you haz them. I like sushi a lot and can easily eat $45 myself BEFORE sake and I like expensive sake so my sushi bill is usually about $100 before adding another party. I went to sushi with a buddy of mine and we were catching up and eating and drinking and the bill came and it was $220! We both looked, laughed and threw our $ down. I may have met my match, lol.

Dubbs, you got punked a little. The bigger question is did you have a good time? Next time you'll be better prepared. Standing up for yourself isn't being a dick. Politely calling someone out who overstepped isn't rude, it's manly. You'll gain people's respect for that. If they don't respect you for that, fuck 'em, they were trying to take advantage.

If this doesn't make sense, let's go get some sushi and figure it out. We'll split the check, right? :p
 
Seriously, Bill is expensive to eat sushi with, but it's worth it.

ps. "This will cover ME and HER", it's not even rude to say it.

Had a great time. Went to a bar in SF later. Stayed the night, woke up early and got everyone breakfast. SF bars aren't really my thing I but dig the lady and she wanted to show me off to her friends :p

I'm going to disagree regarding the 'manly' comment which really is a subtle attack on me and a way for you guys to stick your chest out. I understand. With my small group of friends we cover the whole bill and next guy gets his turn. If I were there as just friends and not dating I would have no problem saying something. But it was the first date, don't want to look cheap, and not to be rude and embarrass the guy. Seriously, it wasn't a typical dinning experience. The guy was elated to be eating nearly orgasming with the food. If he weren't so large I would have said something.
 
Dubs, I'm sorry you took offense at what I wrote. Totally not my intention and it's not my style to pile on. I was attempting to point out that if you meet people for the first time and they get the better of you, they'll always think of you like that. I'm not a keyboard tough guy. I'm just some guy who likes sushi a lot, lol.

Your posts seem to have a theme of "look at me" and "golly gee life is hard". Yes, yes it is and some people will try to lend a hand and some will kick you while you're down. I like to believe I'm more of the former than the latter.

Unless of course if you're my good friend. In that case if you fuck up and are not in the ER I'll point and laugh at you until my sides hurt.

You sleep on the couch? Did the other guy spend the night too? Barf wants to know.
 
I can't take my 8 year old daughter to sushi for $45. I'm guessing the outrage is over less than $20.

I'll agree with Dubs about not raising a stink about it. Asserting your manhood over $20 makes one look like a loser and cheapskate.
