Dating Red Flags?

[White Cat]

I’ve been on other dates were I have paid or we split that it wasn’t the deal breaker. As I said earlier somethings are real breakers in one relationship but not necessarily in another.

I may have given a second chance if not for the split the check on a lunch I wasn’t planning on.

I would not and could not let a lady pay for a date. I figure now though with the don’t hold the door for me females that maybe they won’t let the guy pay. Even so., I would pay.

Serious question. I look at you as the dis dating expert. If on the first few dates and the guy used coupons for dinner would this bother you? Serious question.

Not the poster you asked but yeah, I would think that was weird for first dates. Later on in the relationship I wouldn't give it another thought. I really can't explain why but that's my knee jerk reaction. Gift card wouldn't bother me because I probably wouldn't even notice.

I also would not appreciate splitting the check unless I was certain I wouldn't go on another date with the guy again and it was an expensive meal. Then I would offer to split. If it was a drinks or tea/coffee date I wouldn't worry about it. I wouldn't want someone to feel taken advantage of if I knew for certain I wasn't going to see them again.

For reference I'm an early 40s female, married for the second time....dated DH for for almost 7 years I think before we married 4 1/2 years ago.

I do not drive a truck, rather a crossover/SUV but What the hell are "truck nuts?"

I actually had to google that one.

I thought they were talking about people who are obsessed with muscle trucks or similar. We certainly are sheltered it appears.

I actually thought they were talking about Corn nuts. DH always ate those in his truck when we'd go places.

I wasn't think Corn nuts specifically but was thinking that the poster was talking about nuts (like the kind you eat) that you keep in your truck. Why this was so common that it was a "thing" or why it would be a red flag, I couldn't figure out

I saw your post, and occasionally I see those things hanging off the back of a pick-up truck. And I always think....any dude who feels it necessary to put those on the back of his truck, must have a rather small....ummmm, well, you get my drift. A HUGE red flag for sure .

You're welcome. I honestly didn't think it would take on a life of its own like it had.

Soon we'll have a "truck nuts" spin-off thread...

Same here. Our male dog is 55 lbs and our female dog is 30 lbs and they get comfortable where they please.

Same I have a 90lb golden retriever & we bought a leather sectional when we needed a sofa to make sure he had room!

Golden Retrievers are amazing dogs, just throwing that out there.

Absolutely! Best dogs!

90 POUNDS?? I thought we had a monster at 75 lbs. What the hell are you feeding her/him?

lol! He’s just a giant boy! He was probably the biggest male in the litter. He’s not fat either. Just giant. But, he is the most gentle dog I’ve ever had.

I’m honestly not sure. If the coupon was something like save $10 off $50 or something I might not have an issue with it. If it was a coupon that limited what I could order it might be an issue.

A few years ago the guy I was seeing at the time came up for the weekend. He had coupons for Burger King. So we went to Burger King for dinner. I am not a huge Burger King fan. But I also knew he was making an effort to “treat” me to dinner. As I was usually the one the pay for things when we went out.

That's how our girl is. She's a beast but she's so gentle even when playing with her much more rambunctious sister who is a Dachshund with a 'tude. She also has this knack of jumping over my wife and settling down between us to sleep. Many a morning I've woken up to her spooning me. She's so damn cuddly. She will also jump on our bed and put her front paws on my shoulder so I can give her a hug.

That’s hilarious. Our other dog is a doxie too! And, yes, the same!

Really? you have a dox as well? You're the dog equivalent of my sister from another mister.
