I need honest opinions

Hey, Mare..have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately? You're smart, funny and beautiful. HIS LOSE!

Thank you for that. I don't feel so smart right now but I'll take the funny and beautiful part.

I agree with everybody. And want to add that guys who want a woman's money usually are purrfect schmoozers. And as we do not get too much of that sweet talk usually we are ready to believe.
So I think asking after your son and your cat was not necessarily honest.

I agree, and the fact he was 66 years old. Please. You did the right thing.

WOW! That must have been interesting.

I definitely think you made the right call. The wallet is a pretty important thing to remember, for obvious reasons. Not only did he need money, he needed his driver's license, insurance card, etc., etc. C'mon fella, couldn't you just pick up the wallet on the way out the door??

Good for you!! I hope you're proud of yourself. You handled it beautifully.

I'd have given him the benefit of the doubt and picked up the check. Then again -- I'm not smart, funny, beautiful Medusa! (it's been a long time since I've been on a date.) I'd probably have beaten myself up afterward though. But, Medusa, I think you deserve a lot better than someone who left the house without his credit card and potentially, without his ID.

One good thing in his favor........at least he told you about the wallet BEFORE you had dinner - not afterwards.

I agree you should go with your gut feeling, and I'm sure you did the right thing here! I can't help wondering what would have happened if you had the meal, and then he said, oh, I've forgot my keys.

A man usually has his wallet in his jacket, right! At least John did. So even if he changed his pants, he should have had it. Furthermore, he can't be very bright if he goes out without a credit card or his drivers licence!

Well, if you look like your pic in your avatar, I'm shocked that you would be at a loss for wonderful dates. You are gorgeous! Plus you are sweet and kind. You deserve the very best, and I hope you hold out for that!

Well, thank you, Jenn. I haven't changed much since that photo except to get older. And I guess because I'm older, I have zero tolerance for nonsense from men. I don't date much any more because the men my age that I've dealt with have been looking for a mother. I have a son, he's a darned good one, and I don't need another one. A partner would be nice but I'm not looking any more. The only reason I agreed to meet this guy in the first place was because he kept asking and it was during the time that my son was so sick and my heart just wasn't in it. After the tide had turned w/my son, I agreed to meet him, to my detriment. Lesson learned, though. Ya don't know til ya try, right? I'm not as fortunate as some people but I'm more fortunate than many, so I'm grateful for every lesson that I've learned, tough as though some of them have been.
