Search Results: picking on girls

This is a very interesting question that has rattled around my brain for a little while now. How does the world view a person that in their 20s or beyond and is still getting a ride places? Be it from a parent, sibling, friend, etc. to go to work, school, running errands, etc.

I am 21 years old and have never had a car (I've had my license since 18) and I am not a student in a university or anything like that (the career path that I have chosen doesn't require for me to do so). I work in a pharmacy and I've worked with this pharmacist for about a little over a year now and we're kinda cool. Today after work had ended... I got picked up from my dad and the pharmacist saw me... he looked at me as if he had lost all of his respect for me.

Not to defend my non car owning self but I haven't had the chance to purchase a car because I am waiting for my finances to increase a bit more so that I can get my car of choice also, I need to figure out some insurance stuff... but when this happened earlier today it made me question how does the world view situations like this? I know I can't be picking any girls up for dates or pick my friends up for a night out on the town but these things take time.

How do you feel about grown/older people still not having their own means of transportation? Do you see them as little kids or do you just see them as people that are still getting things together?

Obviously this doesn't account for people that had cars and lost them in accidents or their financial situations turned rough and they had to get rid of them.

I saw that a guy on GaG was outraged that a girl asked “you’re gonna pay, right?” She said this before picking out an item on the menu. He said yes and kept his word. He says that the cost wasn't really a big deal, but I feel like it definitely adds to why he was upset. It was $27 for a steak by the way. Many people didn't think there was anything wrong with that and I personally thought it was even more considerate that she didn't just assume, but many people disagreed as well. You can debate that all you want, and I'll have a link to the question here:
Girl asked, “you’re gonna pay, right?” while ordering at a restaurant then proceeded to order a $27 dollar steak after I told her yes. What the hell?

I do think it's a little out of the ordinary to ask but anyways I'm not asking about that specific situation. I just want to know what you think about in general between these options.

Please be honest and feel free to comment on this matter.

If you'd never in your life ask anyone out on a date but would accept, then please comment the mindset you'd have and/or the mindset you'd like your date to have in regards paying the bill.

Okay so a bit of a story, so I work at a bank and we have businesses that have their runners bring in deposits fairly regularly. One of them is this pretty cute girl who Im on friendly terms with. We always chit chat when she's in and she seems really nice. When she was in last, the weather had warmed up quite a bit and as we were talking she mentioned how nice it was outside and how she got to wear this flower shirt she really likes as she took a few steps back and showed it off a bit (not sure if this is relevant or not but the shirt in questions was fairly revealing) and I didn't really think much of it in the moment just that it was a nice shirt.

I was thinking about the interaction later in the day though and thought it was a bit odd. I've had female friends talk about clothes they liked before but never had someone I didn't really know well at all bring it up to me and also make a point of taking a step back so I could get a good look at her/the clothes.

So knowing that I am dense and awful at picking up signals, i called my sister after work and asked her if she thought that the deposit girl was trying to send me a signal there or if I was just overthinking things like I normally do. Well her and her roommate both agreed that the deposit girl was for sure trying to get me to make a move on her. So I'd love to get some more outside opinions, is my sister right when she says that she was trying to get my attention? Or was it just casual conversation?
