Tightwads
There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Whilst quibbling over the tip is clearly not good behaviour..
Paying for all the bill on the first date? (as per other comments here) Fuck off!
1) You are no more, and no less important than me.
2) I don't care if you have tits; it doesn't make you special.
3) Your time isn't more important than mine
4) I am neither a fuck toy that shags on demand nor a comfort blanket that will wait endlessly. These things are mutual compromises.
It's depressing how many dates seem to think they're entitled, and fail on one of the above points.

YEAH
Being an old-fashioned kind of chap, I always pay the full bill on a first date, and usually a few dates after that if they go well, but if a girl I was with expects me to pay the full bill, well she can just fuck right off.

Single?
I offer to pay, andalso on special occasions (her birthday and the like) and the favour is returned, so no, there is a lot of fairness in it.

I've been with Mrs Monkeysex
for more than two years, and she's never contributed a penny for any of our dates. Mind you, she's a law student, so in a few years she'll be ridiculously rich and I'll be a kept man.
Hooray!

I'm already there
That woman just will not let something go, even if we argue over something trivial, she will;
Explain why I'm wrong (even if she's the one in the wrong)
Explain what I need to do to see her point of view, and therefore change my own.
Tell me that I need to apologise, and somehow convince me of the error of my ways, even if I was completely right to begin with.
I love that woman, and I'm getting used to losing arguments now, I actually find it quite sexy.

Why yes, I am single
are you surprised? ;). Not that I care that much - I have plenty to occupy my time.
You can alternate things, but then that assumes you'll actually reach date 2..
I don't like setting dangerous precedents. IME insisting on being treated is a red flag (the other main one is trying to assert that you should drop your social life to be with them when they're free, when they're not willing to do that themselves)
