Dating is hard. It's even harder when you are doing it after a divorce. Add on the fact that you have kids now, well, it may seem easier to broker peace in the Middle East than finding Mr. Right ... again. That's what a couple of my single mom friends are going through.
They have been out of the dating game for a 7 plus years and boy has the love landscape changed. "Guys don't want to pay for dinner unless they know you are going to put out," lamented one pal. "I'm l like seriously?! You won't pay the Olive Garden?" Other dating disappointments? Guys who are too into their cars,oddly obsessed with Twilight, and one who actually insisted on knowing her bra size the first time they met. And the list goes on and on.
Here are five more ridiculous guys you will undoubtedly run into once you start playing the field.

Karate actually is pronounced "ka-ra-tey".
Also, what's wrong with bill splitting? You really expect your man to pay for everything? That just isn't fair to him. You're just being greedy if you want him to pay for it all.
This ain't the 50's lady. Women paying their own way isn't a foreign concept.
if you don't want to split it feel free to grab the whole thing. ooops. all of a sudden it's 1950 again.
If someone asks to take another person out, they should be prepared to pay the bill. And it should go both ways. If I ask my boyfriend out to dinner, I expect to pay the bill. By the same logic, if he asks me out, he pays the bill.
If we should both decide it's time for a night out, one of us will pay for entertainment (dinner, drinks, etc), and the other pays for a room downtown so we don't have to drive (we both live outside of town)...so we're pretty much sharing the cost because it's a shared invitation-
When you ask someone on a date, and you expect them to pay their share...do you ask how much cash they've got when you start the night? If they say $20, do you hit McDonalds and Happy Hour? If you do, I would say you're definitely one of the people to avoid when dating...
I'm hoping that since the first guy I have dated since my divorce was a combination of Kung Fu Fogie, Faux Father, Game Boy and 50-50 (otherwise known as Penny-Pinching Putz...seriously, he needs a real job - he's 40 with an MBA from a top ten school), there is a chance that he gave more bang for my buck and I don't have to re-encounter these types. Too bad there was no bang and too many bucks.
.........well " REALITY CHECK " ......this FUCKED UP Country Is $14 Trillion+ in Debt. YES YOU GOT DAMN RIGHT i'm Not PAYING FOR EVERYTHING..........Another thing is Thats a Punchline Joke. You women " THINK " its like a PRIVALEGE . Enough Women Already Have Made Too Many MEN INTO PUSSIES & Weak Ass Men. ITs TIRESOME. Watching Weak Ass Men....In Society Today.
