So I met this awesome girl and went on a dinner date the other day. When the check comes she grabs it real quick and puts her card down. I slide it away and say no I got it and put my card down. She's like no she wants to pay since I drove so far (she lives 45 minutes away). I'm like you sure, she says yeah, and she pays. Texted her yesterday but just got a quick one sentence response and nothing after I texted back. Texted today and got no response. My friends are telling me I blew it that she was giving me a test and I should've convinced her to let me pay. I don't get it money's not a problem for me and she knows I've got a good job, I figured maybe she was some feminist or just really nice. Think I blew it and should give up on this one? Sucks I really did like her and be a shame if some stupid game playing like that screws it up.

If it makes you feel better, whoever she ends up with can probably look forward to a lifetime of stupid games like that. You're off the hook after one date.

Sounds like a big time bitch if she won't talk to you because of some stupid test.

You don't want anything to do with someone who plays stupid games like that. Like someone else said once they do they never stop.

Hold up now, there's no confirmation that this was a test of any sort. Let's not jump to conclusions.
She may just not be all that into you and offered to pay out of some sense of guilt. Twenty seconds after you left, she may have met someone she clicked with even better. She may have had her leg caught in a bear trap when she texted back.
Text once more and ask what's going on. Either you'll finally get an answer, or you won't, which is a good as her saying she's just not that into you anyway.

Just lay back and let her come to you. If a couple weeks go by then throw her a text asking is she wants to hang out. If you don't get another date by then, move on. Girls are like buses man, you might miss one but you can catch one on the hour every hour. peace

You didn't do anything wrong, so don't sweat it. The best move would've been "Ok, but next time it's on me."

I know what you going through.
I just got a job at a school where I am working with this cute teacher. I was so happy when I found this out cuz I thought it would be good chance to get to know her.
Everything was fine until the first full week. I had asked if I could use some of her games for my student since technically he was her student but she was over the number of students she can have in her classroom. She said sure, but never sent it over. I literally asked her everyday and twice on a few days. Finally on Friday I emailed her (school emails are able to be accessed at anytime due to it being finished by taxpayer money) and she made a comment, "Oh I thought I sent it over a few days ago."
What irked me about it was during the week, even though I asked several times about the games she sent over a different project that interfered with my lesson without saying"Hey would you like to do this?" and basically said I should do this.
I can tell she is doing this to play, what I call, high school games. She mentions a boyfriend and everytime she says it she looks at me to see if I will give her a reaction. It is annoying as they are trying to create a new room with me as head teacher.
It is sad to say because she is an excellent teacher but seems to still be stuck in high school when it comes to relationships. Needless to say I have no interest in dating her now.

Maybe you blew it some other way. I think that if it were a test (which would be ridiculous to begin with) then she would've let you pay as soon as you offered to. I think the issue would've aroused if you had expected her to pay for everything, or even if you had expected her to pay for just her food. You showed that YOU expected to pay, so if she still insisted that she pay, you did the right thing by backing down and letting her do it.
So what else did you do to screw it up? If you can't think of anything, then maybe she's just not interested after meeting you. Just don't blow up her phone with text messages like "You owe me an explination" or anything. If she's not texting you then she's not going to react well to something like that.

It's always a test. Deal with it.
Also, you wait 24-48 hours before calling her. Make her sweat.

It's always a test. Deal with it. Yup, you're on a date it's ALL a test. I went out with this gal, I dunno month ago or so...she started asking me questions that frankly weren't important, couldn't be answered as the hypotheticals' they were posed as and were all trap doors. "If you got a girl pregnant, would you marry her or...." "Yes." "Really?" "Sure." Strange look from her. "Fine, no." "Really?" "Whatever the right answer is."

Going by the thread you made, you have a girlfriend now at least. I guess you have to of passed someone's test.

Wait, wait , wait , WAIT!!!!!!!! You did not pay for dinner and you seriously ask us what went wrong? REALLY?
The "Who pays game" is there since the dating thing started. Even in the Stone Age the guys were paying the dinosaursteaks...true story!
Even if she says she wants to pay, you gotta play the game buddy
