The question is often asked: When it comes to dates, should a guy pay for everything or should the couple split the bill?
People are often divided about this topic and sometimes, it’s this type of uncertainty that makes dating difficult – especially for those who are going out for the first time.
Take it from Reddit user u/CuteBananaMuffin who recently had a nightmarish dating experience with a seemingly nice girl who, as it eventually turns out, was a real piece of work.
In a BoredPanda interview, he shared how the date went well at first but took an awkward turn when the unnamed woman began talking non-stop about a guy she liked a lot – and she wanted to make out with him!
A big no-no for a first date? Well if that’s not enough, she also ordered some very expensive items off the menu.
He shared:
“I thought ‘let’s eat, talk and leave’ since she’s into another guy, and it all crumbled when it came to the bill. She was shocked that I let her pay. She didn’t say anything at the time, but from her facial expression I realized she was furious.”
“I usually pay for both sides when it comes to the bill, but I’m a student and I work 60 hours a week to pay for food, books etc. so I obviously couldn’t afford to pay 110 euros ($126 USD) for her food. I asked her out again to apologize pretty much for the previous time, hoping we can go to a cheaper place so I could make up for it, but as you can see, the result was really bad…”
This was how their exchange eventually went:
Not surprisingly, netizens are more sympathetic towards the guy than the girl based on the comment section.
One wrote:
“Anyone that wants that royal treatment is not someone you want in your life. Good move.”
Another said:
“Lobster! Would loved to have seen her face when the bill arrived and you said let’s pay for our own food. She tried a fast one there.”
