dating etiquette

Is it just me being out of practice and rusty, or do blokes of the modern generation really have no etiquette when it comes to dating?

I met up with a guy for some drinks at the beginning of the week and we got on really well, so you can imagine I was a little chuffed when he text and said he wanted to meet up again asking if he could take me out to dinner. I replied and said that would be lovely.

Being Friday and seeing as we are due to meet tomorrow, I thought I would ask him what the plans are for tomorrow night. My date promptly replied, admitting he hadn't arranged anything and pretty much put the ball back into my court to decide what to do.

Now, don't get me wrong and forgive me for being old fashioned, but if a guy asks you out to dinner surely he should also take it upon himself to make a little bit of effort and arrange the evening in question? i'm not asking him to pay for me - but surely you can pick up the telephone and book a table for two? or is that asking too much?

I guess it is true what they say about romance being dead - but seriously guys, you are not impressing anyone with your so-called laid back attitude! If I wanted a DIY night I would go to IKEA!
