I Don't Get it....
Posted : 10 Sep, 2009 05:04 PM

hello my fellow brothers and sisters! i'm confused and need your counsel. I've went on two dates with this guy. on our third date, i called and cancelled our dinner plans because i wasn't feeling well. he called and asked if i at least wanted him to bring me something to eat. i said, yes and thank you that was very considerate of him. then i asked if he had any visine at home. he said no, but that he would stop at wal-mart to get some. again, i said thank you. twenty minutes later he textes to say that dinner is on him, but that i would have to reimburse him for the visine (which is less than $2). i was stunned, shocked, etc. and thought maybe he was kidding around. he gets to my house with the food and hands over the receipt for the visine. well, again i was stunned and shocked. nevertheless, i gave him $5 and he gave me change.



i don't get it. he was gonna spend more money if i had not gotten sick and cancelled our dinner plans so why did he charge me for the eye medicine????



is he cheap? was he angry i got ill and cancelled on him? is this the norm when you're first dating someone 'not spend too much money on them' type of thing? what???



btw, i haven't went out with him since the incident. he calls and i make up excuses because i don't know what to do or think about this incident.



thanks and God Bless,

Zoe :angel:

wow, how is this action going to play out in the relationship as a hole? whats next you have to pay for a romantic dinner out that he invited you on? look at this action and how he deals with his money? why wouldn't he talk to you about a problem, i know if a girl i was dating was sick i would not make her pay for any thing simply be there for her. maybe he dose not feel that close to you yet? read his body lingo.

dear zoe, hmm as for me id of bought you the medicine you needed and not thought anything of it.. less it was really expencive hehe... but if a man doesnt know you that well and its in the beginning stages of the relationship . i can see his side also.. itd be like you asked him to pick up your dry cleaning .. it was something you needed him to do for you.. and he did do so.. he just wanted his money back .. sposin it was expencive medicine.. would you spect him to pay for that too? just cause he was gonna spend some money on a nice dinner for you both? so to me less yawl was a real item and were really close he doent really have to be responsible for you yet ya know.. but again i wouldnt of thought anything about that little bit myself..

I see what you mean, Cattle, but the thing is, it wasn't expensive medicine. Not only that, but he offered to pick some up for her - she didn't ask him to. It was under $2 - I'd spend two bucks on someone I DIDN'T like! Lol I know you're just playing his advocate, but all in all, this guy sounds like a cheap-skate in dork's clothing. ;-)

dear linnie ,, hehe id spend two bucks on someone i didnt like too.. but the man did actually call and offer to bring her dinner because he knew she didnt feel well.. and then when she hinted she needed visine he even went and got some for her... to me thats bein conciderate.. and since i dont think they had been dating a long time..the lady should at least offer to pay for her own medicine if she could afford it.. .. i wouldnt accept it.. but itd be nice to see it offered.. i always like to do things for folks when they dont expect it of me... itd be alot diffirent if say we was in a long term committed relationship too.. if im just gettin to know someone thats diffirent too as two dollars expected today can turn into hundreds of dollars tomorrow.. hehe

ole cattle, i'm surprised by your response.

(1) i called and cancelled date due to illness. he offered to still bring me food. that was a surprise to me.

(2) i asked if he had any visine in his home not hinting to go out and buy me some. he said he didn't have any at home but that he could stop at wal-mart to get me some. again, i didn't ask him..he offered to stop at wal-mart to get some.

(3) 20 mins. later he wants to be reimbursed for it, which is less than $2. :goofball: that's where i got confused. thanks to brother david and his explanation, it all makes sense now to me.



so ole cattle, i really am surprised at your response.

God Bless,

Zoe :angel:

Really interesting I should say. Not sure what to make of it. He brought you dinner and charged for the medication? Very odd. Was the food home cooked? lol. Maybe he wanted you to know it is still on a friendship level? But again that is very odd. He is ok in the head right? Not kind if weird or anything.
