The title says it all. There have clearly been increasing negative experiences for men that make them less inclined to want to go on a dinner date. I believe that they don't want to get taken advantage of (free meal leeches) but it's also possibly a good thing, because maybe they didn't actually want a relationship or to date-date? I do think that a lot of people want an easier out, drinks are easier to bail on. I don't drink, so going to drinks isn't an option. That said, I work in Michelin dining, fine dining is a passion of mine. I enjoy eating out and going out to eat with people I care about. I mention this as well and my job is listed in my bio. When I suggest dinner I get unmatched, rejected or otherwise slow faded. What do I do? Should I offer to cover the bill so we can go out? Will I be relegated to coffee meet ups or walks for the rest of my dating life? I really don't want that.
