Part 1 recap: "No, Dutch Treat means we each pay half, yours is $53.00." He repeated. I countered with the definition: one pays for their share of the meal. He wasn't buying it, pun intended.
BWAHA! Wow. How weird that he popped up on your radar again. I can understand how he wouldn't remember because I'm sure he's done the DT a thousand times to other women. Women: we remember EVERYTHING! Espesh the bad shit. LOL
I heard one story like that. A woman ordered steak, lobster, desert, the whole deal. Then excused herself for the ladies room, and never came back to the table. Tables turned that night. lol 🦕
As I mentioned in my comments to Part 1, I would have done the same "back then" . But - just like you - I am older and wiser now and would not pay for half of the entire bill if it that situation came up these days. But, looking back, if that did not happen to you, you wouldn't have learned anything and we would have lost the opportunity to read one of your amusing stories about dating dinosaurs. We should all thank Robert for that!
I think running him over in the parking lot yelling “Dutch treat this!” would have been the appropriate course of action. Just kidding! You should have added, “A$$hole!” as you drove away.
On the Substack page for new post, there is a square with mountain in the center along the top. I know, it does not look like a mountain. But “create” with a magic wand, click and you will see a search bar and choices of style. I do mine in anime. I also use their help section. They are very helpful. Once I typed, thank you so much for helping me. The return message was, you don’t have to thank me, I am AI. I got a good chuckle from that. 🦕
Ha, I’ll check that out, I didn’t know about it. I enjoy using images in my newsletter too and I sometimes use filters but I haven’t gone as far as creating my own!! Thanks for the tip 💛
I am, truly, at a loss for words...except to say, Wendy, your readers have enjoyed reading about cheap, lying Robert. Thanks for sharing this horror story. Perhaps Clyde's is still around and has received a "gimme" promotion for your mentioning them in this escapade.
PS: I hope he at least got indigestion from all that food!
Is he related to a midgy? Good for you for retelling the ways you remembered the experience. Daft man. (This will be a great scene in your movie . . . . 😁)
Aren't sociopaths an absolute kick? In the head/pants/whatever hurts most? There's got to be a thing on the dating app to alert all women everywhere about this guy. He's worse than a rapist. In fact, that's just what he is, only without dropping his pants.
I wasn't trying to be funny ... not in the least. By rapists, I meant a person who preys upon people, steals not only their physical properties but self-esteem and trust. Doesn't that sound like the aftermath to a rape to you? Not funny at all.
I spent a horrible afternoon in the company of a sociopathic woman who raked me over the coals verbally and emotionally. When it was over, I felt liked I'd been raped. And I'm familiar with how that feels. Intercourse has nothing to do with rape. It's a destructive, violent attack that takes away a person's soul. This many is a sociopath, very similar to the woman I encountered. Not only did he damage her self-esteem and confidence in herself, and humiliate her in the most bizarre manner, he returned to gaslight her. This is how soiopaths work. And believe me, the word rape is quite appropriate.
Good for you! Love ur stories, buu ur bold, I admire that- I’m too scared of the crazy men! Be safe- I know u smart- I still hoping you find a great romance!❤️

Yes, that’s why it’s called memoir. lol. I’m lucky I have a great memory. 🦕
It’s probably a weekly experience for him — with a new woman every week.
He’s more focused on the good and drink than on his date!
Of course nothing guarantees that he’s going to get away with his habit — the woman could very well order something more expensive than his meal!
I heard one story like that. A woman ordered steak, lobster, desert, the whole deal. Then excused herself for the ladies room, and never came back to the table. Tables turned that night. lol 🦕
Right? It probably is a weekly thing for him. LOL
You've GOT to be kidding, right? Robert tried to get another meal " half priced"? I'm sure he wasn't counting on your memory ( or notes;)) LOL!
He was counting on another dinner, not my memory. Lollipop🦕
Lollipop?!😂
Lollipop? Darn autocorrect!
I meant lol.
🤣😂🤣😂

So true! When you date a lemon...you make lemonade. It makes for a good story and that is what counts!
Boy, do I have a lot of lemonade. 🦕
Thanks, Margie!🦕
Loved partv2. Great little stories with great details.
Thanks for being a loyal reader. 🦕
This guy defines the word "desperation."
I bet he hasn't seen a real, live, naked woman, since long before his divorce, unless it was part of a commercial transaction.
He’s a cheapskate, plain and simple.
I hope he dates a woman who orders several top-shelf cocktails and lobster!
See how quickly he learns the definition of Dutch Treat!
Maybe I should try to find him now, twenty years later. I could Dutch Treat-reverse him. 🦕
Dine and dash, sounded like a plan :)
I think running him over in the parking lot yelling “Dutch treat this!” would have been the appropriate course of action. Just kidding! You should have added, “A$$hole!” as you drove away.
Slash his tires.
That has always been my fantasy for my ex-husband. He cared more for his car and tires than me or the children.🦕
He really didn't think you would remember? Wow! I wonder what happened to "Dutch Treat" Robert?
I’m thinking of looking him up for my own Dutch Treat revenge. 🦕
...the persistence of humans is so bizarre sometimes...
Now that was an unexpected twist in the story!!
I meant to say previously I also love the images you use for your posts 🦖
Making the images is a very creative part of my posts. The rest writes itself from memory..
Ooh how do you create them?

Indigestion! That’s a good one! He ate very quickly, so hopefully he did. Clyde’s is still open, I just checked. lol

Hmmm, someone short with blonde hair. 🦕

“Worse than a rapist”???
That’s not true and certainly not funny.
I wasn't trying to be funny ... not in the least. By rapists, I meant a person who preys upon people, steals not only their physical properties but self-esteem and trust. Doesn't that sound like the aftermath to a rape to you? Not funny at all.
He was a cheapskate.
He’s not forcibly having intercourse with a woman.
Rape is not an appropriate term to use here. I find it offensive.
I spent a horrible afternoon in the company of a sociopathic woman who raked me over the coals verbally and emotionally. When it was over, I felt liked I'd been raped. And I'm familiar with how that feels. Intercourse has nothing to do with rape. It's a destructive, violent attack that takes away a person's soul.

And believe me, the word rape is quite appropriate.
I disagree.
No comparison.
You are overreacting to the whole situation.
It was a date with a cheapskate.
Sociopathic man? Pretty quick diagnoses after a few paragraphs!
I know how rape is defined.
Maybe you don’t.
A person can be violently attacked without being raped.
The sexual violation is what raises it to a rape charge.
Good for you! Love ur stories, buu ur bold, I admire that- I’m too scared of the crazy men! Be safe- I know u smart- I still hoping you find a great romance!❤️
I’m sorry I am so behind on my thank yous. But, thank you! 🦕
