Absolutely. I turned 68 on September 10. I'm still practicing law full time; love going to court; and trying to walk 5 miles a day so that I can see my almost 1 year old grand daughter grow up.
I know, it would have been a better story if I said she was my almost 1 year old daughter.
I still feel like a kid (although my knees do not always agree).
Damn, impressive. Would love to know the full age range on this website.
Nice to hear you still practice. Looking at family that I've lost, keeping the mind sharp is just as important as physical when it comes to age.
When it comes to dating, do the *clears throat* other parts still agree? I dread the day, then again..performance enhancers.
Side note, generally I can tell if something isn't going to work out real quick. like first 10 minutes. Had a date with an absolute smoke show the other day, knew almost immediately that it wasn't going to happen and I can figure out what I'm going to pay after that point. But seriously, get back out there. We take relationships way too seriously in our society for us to end up with half of us getting a divorce

I described the TV scenario, not the real life one that they based it on.
well then in the TV scenario, the guy is slightly, but understandably in the wrong. At the same time the girl is potentially in the wrong for taking advantage. Unless she was genuine about the date but not vibing relationship.
in real life the dude was hilariously wrong.

If I was the one to ask her out I’m going to pay. If the lady said ok and took the time to come out that doesn’t necessarily guarantee that the date will go well and she will want another one.
This is the correct answer as long as she didn’t behave inappropriately during the date. Lack of further interest conveyed politely is not behaving inappropriately.

I think if you initiate and ask someone on a date, you should offer to pay, regardless of the outcome.

If a girl puts a guy in the friends zone on the first date she should pick up the whole tab.

I feel very fortunate that I am in pretty good shape. I have a lot of contemporaries who just look old, can't get around very well, or have passed away. I have always looked young for my age. Not many people think I am in my late 60s. I get around just fine and am still physically active.
I could use to lose a few pounds. I'm about 10 pounds heavier than I was at my son's wedding 2 years ago. I;m trying to take those off - it's one of the reasons I walk.
Without sounding conceited, I know that I am still somewhat attractive to women. I go to Wegmans most Friday evenings after work. I cannot tell you how often, on any given Friday, women come up to me and tell me how nice I look. It's great for the ego (but sometimes I think it's just the bow tie).
And I am still very attracted to women. I'm just not sure that I will ever be in another serious relationship. When I next go out with women it will be on a casual basis - dinners, theater, sporting events, etc. If something develops, fine. If not, fine too.
The #1 female in my life is a little girl getting ready to turn 1. I'll spoil her like crazy.

Bill should always be split until you start getting serious with each other. She's involved in the relationship/date as much as you are.
But in this situation, the dude was in the right to make her pay her half.

I would be very uncomfortable letting a guy pay if I flat out told him I wasn’t interested in another date.

Do you get many dates doing this? I’m not saying it’s right that men are expected to pay, but this seems off-putting. If he bought dinner, I’d insist on paying for something else. It evens out. Splitting the bill at the table seems awkward.

If the guy asked her out, and splitting it wasn’t established up front, then he is a petty a-hole IMO for having it become an issue after she expressed no interest.

She should’ve just told him some BS til they left, then tell him she wasn’t interested in a 2nd date whenever he called or texted her again. But since she made it known before the date was over that she wasn’t interested in a 2nd date then she should’ve paid for her half.

We need to take some time and play 18 one day.
On topic.. I'd pay. If I asked, if pay.
At least she's being honest about how big of a loser I am.

Buy the whole dinner. Maybe you’ll develop a reputation for being a good guy and get laid by a friend of a friend.
