This happens a lot. You can't think about even dating someone twice because the basic human considerations are missing from many men in the Los Angeles area. If I was with a girl friend or a guy friend, I would give them a ride to their car...but I have countless stories of men not having manners or human considerations at all..

Yes, on this occasion, the man asked me to coffee...when I arrived there, I had to buy my own coffee. We talked until about 11 pm. I asked if he parked close and he said, "Yeah, I got lucky. I parked right outside the door." I said, "Oh, I parked 6 blocks away." He said, "Well, see ya later"...and he drove off and I walked to my car in Los Angeles in the dark at 11 pm. Everytime this happens I think, "Well, the guy doesn't like me so he's trying to turn me off by doing something rude."...but everytime they call back and ask me out again. When a woman constantly comes across men like this, it's no wonder they have had to be the one to protect themselves and step up to the plate. Women would love to trust the man making the decision if they knew that they had the woman's best interest in mind...but we are constantly reminded that they are lately only interested in their needs. It's sad and don't know what to do about it.

You actually had to buy your own coffee? Is that true?

That is because basic human consideration among men has been replaced with basic human survival instincts. Too many women have become offended at men who open doors, and act protective towards a woman, that today many men would not risk offending the little princess.

When in doubt, men usually do nothing. I think you have women(with chips) to blame for this. Men LOVE women, and would default to treating them well, if not for the risks involved in treating a woman like a woman, instead of as an equal.

The right man will think you are a pearl beyond price. He would risk life and limb for you. He will chase you. He will give you gifts. He will try to entice you. This is the way to know that you have met the right man, or one of the right men.

If he does not think you are wonderful, do not date him. He is wasting your time.

The way it really works between men and women is that men decide which women they want, and women decide which man she wants from the pool of men who want her.

The wrong man may act the same way, but if you wait until you know him, you will see that he is a cad, and you will not waste any more time on him.

Chasing a man does not work.
