What Happened to Old Fashioned Courtship?

I am on a roll tonight, my mind is still running...hence, you all will get a second blog in the same day. Woo, luck you!

So, I got to thinking...about an incident that occurred during my girlfriend's visit to Miami. My girl i.T. came into town to visit me, as well as enjoy sunny miami. Our first night, we decided to have dinner at Prime 112 in South Beach. It was my first time, so I thought it would be nice to take her there since half of Miami seems to love it there...fast forward---> so, my girl tells me about this guy that had added her on FB and followed her on twitter, who also happens to live in Miami. At this point, the two individuals had been in contact and had made plans to meet up for the first time while she was in town. Home dude decides that he wants to join us after we eat our dinner at Prime 112. So, my girl and I finish our dinner (btw, the steak there is so overrated) and we receive a text that he was on his way. Within 15-20 minutes, she gives me a signal that she sees him walking towards our table. I look at him and of course, not to my surprise, he is a tall, brown handsome man that has abs as hard as my steak that night. Typical south beach dude you can ever imagine. This fine man sits down and joins us at our table. The introductions take place and the conversation starts flowing. Home dude orders a glass of wine...and we continue to pick his brain. Mind you, seemed like an airhead, but he was pleasant to the eyes. He clearly was into my friend, but the conversation was not all there. 30 minutes later, we decide to call it a night and grab the check. So, this guy decides he wants to say hi to his friend that works at the bar. My gf and I review the bill and see that his "glass of wine" was on the bill, yet dude is no where near this check. Don't get me wrong, I can spot you or anyone on a $15 glass of wine...but, please, that is way too tacky for you to walk away when the bill arrives at the table. Yet alone, not even to offer to pay for your wine that YOU ordered at OUR table. What happened to being a gentleman? Am I wrong for feeling this aggravated? Please put me on check if you feel I am overreacting, coz really would love to hear your nonsense response.

I just think that men and women have forgotten the essence of dating and relationships. How often does a man court a woman the traditional way? Sadly enough, I don't see it much these days...especially here in Miami. I am making a commitment to myself to ensure that I do not tolerate this nonsense. Unacceptable I say!

So, if you are still a believer of old-fashioned courtship, please do not hesitate to send me an email at gotfilipina305@gmail.com. Serious, inquiries only. :) Plus, this is way better and cheaper than going on Match.com. ;)
