My date said, “I always order water on my dates.” “Then I can save a couple of bucks, which is great.” Alarm bells started to go off in my mind. This match.com guy was either broke or cheap, and not a find. If he cannot afford to order me a sweet iced tea, Then to be honest, I was ready to flee. Maybe he was too forthright for his own good, But it let me know how he financially stood. He confirmed my suspicion when at the end of the dinner, He split the tab to the penny, proving he was no winner. He seemed so nice when he asked me for the date. This one I will throw back, he’s too much of a cheapskate.
