Date pays for their stuff, you pay for your own. Basically, separate tabs.
To be clear, I would have paid if she had asked me to at the time. When the bill came for the food, I asked if she wanted separate or together, but my phrasing made it sound like I wanted to split it and she said that was fine. Whoops.
Don’t worry, she’s making up for lost time. I pay for almost everything when we go out now 😅
Second term has been so much worse than the first in that regard. I was just telling my co worker the other day that it’s funny how Trump’s first term, and especially his first year, was just him firing tons of people that he appointed, and in his second term he’s hardly fired anybody. It really sends the signal just how much Trump has surrounded himself with sycophants, yes-men, and puffers this time around.
I think that’s part of the reason why the moron feels emboldened to say and do some truthfully horrifying shit.
Because going high when they go low has been a totally winning strategy for us up until this point, right?
My current fiance said she almost didn’t want to go on a second date with me because I wanted to go Dutch on our first date. She still tells me to this day that I’m lucky I was cute.
I refuse to believe that anybody who claims they are working 80 hours per week are actually productive or efficient for all 80 of those hours. If anything, I think their employers are the ones getting screwed by paying some guy a shit ton of overtime to do theoretically the exact same amount of work that two people working 40 hours could do just as well, if not better.
Everyone should strive to work as little as possible. This was the promise of the future that our ancestors broke their backs to provide for us, and these fucking corporate drones just can’t help but maintain the status quo for internet clout.
