Pay, and then tell him that he owes you however much his food cost. +3
-
go to bathroom and then leave the place.

I would be so upset and offended because I would feel like he is trying to run game on me. I usually have some form of money on me, so I would pay, but I would be so bitchy towards him and he would pay me back one way or another.
-
Go to the bathroom and sneak out the back door. "He" can stay and wash the dishes by himself
-
Well, is it an honest mistake or someone trying to pull a fast one? I always allow one mistake, so I woudl pay and then suggest that the person make it up to me by buying the next meal... Then if the next meal doesn't get bought, I no longer attend meals with that person.

Send him home in a cab to get it.

If he said he was gonna pay for it outright earlier and clearly, and pulls that, I like Esteban's answer by going to the bathroom then just leaving him with the bill.

That happened once with an exboyfriend of mine. I just paid it -- no big deal, things like that happen sometimes. He made up for it after that by taking me out for a real nice steak dinner. If this happened more than once or twice though, I'd be a little leary of them.

well instinctively id throw my drink in his face and walk out, but my better sense knows that the meal will ultimately come out of the waitress/waiters tips..so id pay and leave an enormous tip and embarrass the fu%$ out of him in the restaurant, men dont ever forget their wallet.
-
Say I didn't bring any money either.
-
Pay it, of course, and say nothing of it. I think whoever invited me should pay, since it was their invite, but do not take it as a given, whether he forgot his wallet or not. Money should not be an issue between friends. What's mine is yours.

Yeah that happen to me once, i went out on a date and half way thur dinner he told me damn i forgot my wallet mind you he order a pretty expensive meal, i said right!!!!! i paid and we left he called me the next day wanting to know if i would like to go out again, i told him why don't you forget my number like you forgot your wallet and hung up.

This is such a "faux pas" that I wouldn't even know where to begin with my answer! I'd PROBABLY say, "I did't bring MINE. . . .either!", because the TRUTH IS. . . . .I generally DON'T! Now what?
-
If he'd said he'd pay, tell him to "start washing dishes." If we'd agreed to "go dutch," I'd send him his half of the bill. ':) (Truly, don't think I could ever do that to a guy, even a real 'slouch'; I'd probably pay for the whole thing. But if he did it AGAIN, well, "Go back to line #1 and proceed with extreme caution.")
-
If he looked seriouse and sincere...pay for it, and tell him next time its on him... If he looks like a cheap skate, or a liar...Get up, pay for mine...and then walk out and tell him to split the bill.
-
Things like this may happen any time any where. I would be fine. I just would say "Don't worry! Give me the pleasure to buy dinner tonight." I hope it is not too expensive!
-
id freak out if i forgot my wallet on a date, id start washing dishes feeling ashamed. if she did pay for it, the next day id make it up x2.
