I recycle boys

A year ago I met a man on match.com....

We dated for a month or so when I realized he was not only dating - but having "sleepovers" with several other girls. It was at that point that I threw down the ultimatum - pick dude - me or these other chicks...and this is partially just a matter of cleanliness....I'm not down to get somebody else's "social disease" as my dad calls them.

He picked me...for a week...then decided at 36 years old he was not ready to commit...

Now - a year later - he has come sniffing back around - inviting me to "run with him" as a decoy to see if I was still interested. So I said yes - shoot, maybe he's grown up and figured out what he wants

WRONG

We were supposed to run a few weeks ago- but due to the possibility of rain we postponed. Coincidentally I ran into him the night before at a bar - he was getting into a cab as I was arriving. About an hour later, he texted me asking if he could come meet up - and before I could respond - he informed me he was on his way.

He sat and had drinks with my friend and I which was harmless - we were having a good time. He then said we should do breakfast in the morning instead of running - and when I said "ok, let's do it" he back pedaled out of it. Amidst our conversation he made several points of saying what a great girl I am and things of that nature - this was coming from a man who dumped me for the possibility of hooking up with is ex-girlfriend when she came into town.

Lets fast forward to 1:30 am...it was getting late, they brought us our bill - it was only 30 bucks - it included the burger my friend and I split, the beer we each both had, and his 2 beers. It sat there for a good 20 minutes. Finally my friend and I took out our cards and asked the waiter to split it. He did not even flinch for his wallet and he didn't even say thank you! Any guy with any class would have picked up the check...it was 30 freaking dollars....seriously...pick up the damn check...or bare minimum throw in for your own damn drinks!

He then asked me for a ride home...and claimed he was going to call me in the morning at 8:30 for breakfast - at 10 am I recieved this text

"I'm still in bed..."

Does that even warrant a response?

What he *should* have said was "Hey, great seeing you last night, thanks for the ride home and for the drinks...sorry I was so drunk"

Let's review the facts... 

You dumped me...and now you think it's cool to invite yourself to come hang out with my friend and I at 1:30 in the morning and let us pay for YOUR drinks AND give you a ride home? And you can't even figure out how to set an alarm to wake up early enough to meet me for breakfast? You're 37 years old....grow up!!!

I always thought I'd have better luck dating an older man - that perhaps with age comes maturity - clearly I was mistaken

Is this what dating has come down to? Are these my options? Thirty something year old "man-childs" that don't want to grow up?
