A man in his twenties refused to pay for his date's meal after she forgot to bring her wallet.
Posting on Reddit in the 'Am I an Asshole' thread, the man said the date was "awful" and he didn't want to pay for her meal because she had been "so unpleasant" that he didn't want to see her again.
"Recently I went on a second date with this girl I've been talking to for a little bit," said the post.

"We met at a bar and got drinks on our first date and it didn't go great. In hindsight, I should've just stopped speaking to her then, but my self-esteem is pretty much non-existent and I'm very desperate so I asked her out again.
"Our date went awful. She was 20 minutes late, she was rude to me (which wasn't new), rude to waitstaff (also not new), she complained about everything from the venue, to my food, to my outfit and cologne."
At the end of the date the man decided to ask for two checks so they could pay separately but the woman claimed she didn't bring her wallet so she couldn't pay for her meal.

"When the bill came I decided I probably shouldn't ask her out again unless I really can't find someone, so when the waitress came and asked about the checks, I firmly said 2 checks," he continued.
"The girl then said, 'you really know how to make a girl feel special. Do you not bring money on dates.' I told her I was low on cash I couldn't afford both of ours. She then said, 'Well I didn't bring my wallet. What are you going to do.'"
The couple then got into a row and he eventually told her he didn't think he should pay for her meal because she had been so unpleasant.
This did not go down well with his date and she apparently "got even madder."

"After 10 more minutes of arguing I decided I was done," reads the post.
"I told her I'd go talk to the waitress near the cash register and see if something could be done. I got up walked to the register, explained the situation, and she let me pay and leave."
The man said he got home to a flurry of angry messages from his date claiming she was stuck there for hours until her friend could come down and bring her wallet.

The post has sparked a debate on Reddit with some users sceptical as to whether she really forgot her wallet and others saying he should have been clear from the start that he wasn't going to pay.
