writes:My ex called me last Wednesday to ask me to go for a drink with him. I was surprised when I saw him, as he was dressed in very smart clothes, and I had only ever seen him in quite casual clothes before that. He also told me that he was nervous. I thought we had a nice time. He even told me that he likes me a lot and fancies me. He borrowed some money from his brother so that he could call me , and he didn't have much money, so I helped to pay towards the drinks. The thing is, the taxi fare home was more expensive that night, as it was new year's day. I felt bad, as I didn't realize that he would have to pay £5 to get home until the driver said what the fare was. His place wasn't much of a ride away from where we went for a drink. We could have walked back to his place ( it's further to my place though ), but it was very windy and it was raining heavily, so I suggested that we got a taxi. When we were in the taxi, he complained that the driver had taken a slightly longer route. He also paid the £5, which I felt bad about afterwards, as he hadn't had much money. He had asked if I wanted to go to his place for a while too. I told him that I would at first, but then I changed my mind and said I was going home. When he got out of the taxi, he said " you should have done what you said you were going to do ". I don't know if he meant that I should have paid the taxi fare or gone to his place, or both. I did go to his place for a little while before we went out though.I haven't spoken to him since, but I would like that send him a text message. I'm not sure what to say though. I would like to apologise for not paying the taxi fare, and tell him that I will give him the money back ,and ask him if he would like to go out again. Can anyone suggest what I should say to him ?. I hope he isn't still in a bad mood with me. He seemed to be in a bad mood about a couple of other things though, and with other people he knows, so it might not have just been about me. He thinks I still have a boyfriend too. I have broken up with him, but I didn't feel right about discussing that with my ex yet.I still like my ex. Do you think he wants to get back together with me?. I guess he must like me a lot if he got dressed in smart clothes and he said he was nervous?. He said he gets paid next Wednesday. I don't think he will have any credit on his mobile phone until then. Should I text him on Wednesday and just hope he has some credit then ?. I was thinking of going out on Wednesday again anyway, so I might see him if he is out. He only has a part time job.

Not having money is not a crime. But telling your date how much of a effort you made is low standards. It's an indirect boast about how 'sweet' he thinks he is.
Also, him being in a bad mood around you at the end for not doing whatevr is just unnecessary drama.
Get rid.
There's got to be better.

It sounds like he just wanted to sleep with you.
