Paper Napkin vs Cloth Napkin
So as I was reminiscing about my single dating life with my dental hygienist I told her the story about the "Paper Napkin" date. She was telling me about how cheap her soon to be ex-husband was since they first met.
I had to share my experience with the Paper Napkin date. I had been talking to this guy for about three months. Our schedules conflicted so we would chat on the phone or online via online chatting pre-texting era. Good old AOL days!
This was back in the mid 1990's.
When we finally met for our first date we were deciding upon where to go and have dinner. We walked past a few nice restaurants and I was waiting for him to take the lead because I wasn't familiar with these places. As we inched our way closer to the menu that was posted on the door I saw him get slightly flustered because he saw the prices for the different entrees. I got totally turned off but I didn't say anything, I just observed. Then we walked passed a less expensive restaurant and he seemed more pleased with their prices, all of which were under $10 bucks.
At that point I decided it was a good time to have a sudden migraine because if a guy was going to be cheap on the first date, he won't get a second date with me.
Hence, the title of this short story, "Paper Napkin vs Cloth Napkin."

Ladies, take my advice, make sure you bring extra cash when on a date because he might ask you to pay for the meal after his credit card gets declined.
Just saying....
Just saying....
We all know how expensive things can be but guys, if you're going to take a lady out for dinner and you're on a budget, pick the place in advance. Most restaurants will not cost you a weeks salary unless you're in Dubai or your ordering bottles of aged bourbon.
The moral of this story is if it walks like a duck, it's a duck.
