So another date tonite. Guy is nice, kind of has this sex appeal about him, not really sure what it is. He is a 4th grade teacher, only 23, but nice, laid back.

We met in Columbia as he is from VA. Planned to see a movie, but Keely messed up the movie times so decided to catch a later show after having a drink. Went to a bar, grabbed some beers and talked. Convo was fine, not amazing but not awkward. Ended up deciding to just get food and some more drinks. Hung out for 2 hours and then went home.

Can't really get a read on him though. Not sure if he is interested, or not at all. He was of the afore mentioned "if you want to" check guys (read previous entry). And when we left no hug or anything, but thats not a big thing.

Cute story though, it'd someone come up that cookies were the way to my heart, esp if they were choc chip. So he brought cookies to the movie! How sweet is that? Only bad thing, we never got to eat them since we didn't go to the movie. Though he didnt give them to me at the end of the night, is that a bad sign? haha.

Check!

So my last two dates (the one tonite included) this issue has come up. And I wonder if this is common and whats the deal.

The check comes to the table and the guy grabs the bill. I ask if I can give anything towards it and they say "If you want to"

If you want to?!?! What does that even mean? So I feel like I should, and hand over $10 or so, whatever is in my wallet. And then the guy goes, "you really didn't have to"

Okay, if I didn't have to, say that upfront. I feel like its a lose lose situation. If I don't give anything I look cheap, but if I give something I dont look interested in the guy. What a conundrum...
