Search Results: paying for the first date

I was friends with this guy since September, he started asking me out in January, we finally went on a date mid-April and dated until he broke it off the first week of May during finals week (we go to the same college but I live in a different city that's over a mile away). He didn't talk to me for almost a full month. The first text from him wasn't an apology or a "how are you," it was a casual comment about how hard it is to find new jokes. We started texting normally, and he knew I was looking for an apartment around school so I wouldn't have to commute, but since my parents are paying they had to approve of it first. The minute my parents agreed to one, I let him know. We had gone up to visit the apartment, and I stayed in the city to hang with friends when my parents went back down to the city we live in. He invited me to go over to his place. I thought it would've been a booty call, but instead the minute I got there he wanted to sit down and just talk for over an hour. Then he treated me to pizza. Then he wanted to watch a movie. The whole night I kept a distance between us, and he called me out when we were laying down watching the movie. I told him I was just laying there and that if he wanted to come closer he could move. He then took my had and scooted closer to me. Eventually we were cuddling, but I got uncomfortable and went to move away. When I did so, he whined, "nooo," and pulled me even closer than I was before. I mentioned that I was feeling cold and wanted to use the blanket, and he poked a little fun at me by reminding me that I was hot when I walked into the room. He started to sing, "you're hot then you're cold," but he got the lyrics wrong. Lyrics are my super power, so I sang the right lyrics. When I said, "we kiss we make up," he pulled me in by my chin and softly kissed me. We went back to watching the movie for a while, but we didn't finish it. We ended up spending almost the entire next day together too, mostly just talking and cuddling.

I've asked men out and payed... They'd sometimes be okay with it, but mostly they'd be kind of angry about it. Like I was emasculating them for some reason...
