The awkward moment that killed the mood!

I've been so busy writing about important things like TV and other blogs that I almost forgot to talk about my crazy weekend. Friday night turned out to be a very very intersting dinner date for me. I was out to dinner on my second date with this gentlemen and it seemed to be going ok when he proceeds to look at the bill when we receive it. I don't say anything because this is a test and actually I am still finishing my wine. Mind you, I was more than ready to pay my half. When he blurts out like 5 minutes later in the middle of something else we were talking about, how do you want to handle the bill? Excuse me?? I almost choke on my wine. He totally did not pass the test. WHO ACTUALLY ASKS THAT? I totally understand going dutch and all, but couldn't he have waited til we were finished? Then I would have gotten my card and it wouldn't have been this awkward thing!! Because now it was this big thing!! So I proceed to get my card out and he says oh let me give you cash...umm the point of me getting my card out was to pay my half...not his. So I say no its ok expecting him to still hand me cash and he goes oh well thanks and I'll get dinner next time. THANKS, he says? Hmm, not sure he scored good on the test? How did this go from a way awkward question to me buying dinner?? Why me??? Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the girl paying for dinner, but he had asked me out so I was expecting it to be dutch or him buying, stupid me I guess? To top it all off the date had been going really well before the awkwardness killed the mood!
