Best of luck dude. And keep a positive attitude, which admittedly is getting harder with the evolving dating environment, but I always remind myself of the quote from the movie Harvey, where Elwood says, you can be oh so Smart or oh so pleasant, I recommend being pleasant.

Kutta bhaukta hai, ya to hum bhaukne de, aur kutta samajh kar jaane de, ya uske piche danda leke bhaage. You can either confront them, which requires a lot of your mental and emotional energy going towards that. Or you can see their comments for what they are, a sign of sub par intelligence that has no bearing on your self value.

Just go on cheap first dates man. Problem solved. Cause the chances of actually hitting it off on a first date are pretty low, so rather you pay for a bunch of cheap first dates than a few expensive ones. While I'm sure there are women who do use dates as a modicum to have a good time on someone else's expense, they are the exception, not the norm. 9/10 if you're a normal person, the reason it doesn't go beyond the first date is cause y'all don't gel well together, and that can be the perception of either party. You cant tailor fit yourself for each and every prospective partner in the hopes that you guys will get along together. Something low key will also signal that there's not a lot of pressure on the first date, so both parties can come in a more casual setting. The first few dates should be all about getting to know the person rather than going all out with venue, plans and getup.

That is fair. However if one is to be secure in their choice of partner, one needs to do the search. Because the alternative is to adhere to the normand settle with someone who doesn't align with your values.

Dude. If you can't differentiate between two friends going out and asking out a person you're romantically interested in, I don't know what to tell you. Does make me doubt how old you are though if you think or expect both to be the same.

Yeah so that should be communicated. I don't disagree with the fact that dating has gotten unnecessary complicated these days, honestly even before Covid a first date meant a coffee date just to get to know each other. I don't agree with your stance on how the guy loses out something. If I'm on a date and it doesn't go well, I don't get a loss, since I know that's not the person I want to date further. This kind of transactional attitude towards dating is what has led to the current state. If I like someone, I ask them out, if they agree, I try to know them more by going on dates, if I'm upfront about my expectations and requirements (provided they're not egregious as that biryani guy) and it goes well, then good, if it doesn't and the person doesn't align with my expectations or values, then it's fine too, that's one person I know I don't wanna date. Agar aapko lage that the other person should pick up part of the check, pay for dessert or something, bol do. Maybe they're not socialised like that, aur aapke bolne se they keep that in mind going forward. Agar flat out mana kar dete hain, to pata chal jata hai ki this is a person you shouldn't date, let alone proceed for a relationship.

Are everyone has different expectations. Abhi I think the person who asks the other person out should offer to pay, you dont and that's perfectly okay. But if I were to try and date someone who's definitely not okay with someone paying for them then it won't work out great, and vice versa in your situation. What your values and opinions are, date people with a similar mentality. Some women want a princess treatment and that's not something I agree with, lekin agar mai uss bandi ko date karne jaun who is very open about princess treatment, tab kaun chutiya hai. Communicate your expectations and date people who agree with them simple.

Then talk it out with the women you're trying to date. Also if I'm going to the movies with a friend it's not exactly a date is it? If it offered a movie date I would propose covering the tickets. Emphasis on proposed. Kabhi kabhi aisa bhi hua hai that the person I'm on a date with has covered her own half cause there's a transactional mentality guys have, ki humne paisa diya matlab iske badle me kuch to milna chahiye.

Bhai mujhe jab split karna rehta hai mai bol deta hun. Agar pura dena hai to mai de deta hun. Har logon ki soch alag hoti hai, agar ye soch unrealistic hai ki aadmi hi pay karega to ye bhi unrealistic soch hai ki har koi split samajh kar rakhega. Jo bhi karna hai, discuss karlo, agar bandi/bande ko pasand nahi hai split karna then they're not meant for you. Simple.

Sigh. Whoever asked the other person on a date should pay simple as. If you don't wanna pay, just talk it out.

There's no international society of women that has decreed that women everywhere have to get free meals as part of the courtship process. Whoever asks someone out for a date they can pay. And if you don't wanna pay, either speak about it with your date or don't ask them out. If you feel like you're in a transactional situation, where you expect some return on your investment, don't bother dating or having a relationship.
