Woman shares brutal reply after man asked to split the bill following first date

The etiquette around paying on dates will never be a straightforward process...

A woman has shared the brutal text exchange she had with a man after they went on a less-than-successful first date, having been praised by people online after standing firm in her response.

The etiquette around paying on dates will never be a straightforward process, right? Some women like to be spoilt by gentlemanly behaviour, while other people prefer to go Dutch to keep things equal.

Some will stick to paying for what they ate and drank – whether with a love interest or out with friends – even though others might find it easier to split things straight down the middle to avoid doing the maths.

One woman – a Reddit user called Anna – had decided that she was more than happy to pay for herself while out on a date with bloke called ‘Jason’, but he declined.

Her date had originally agreed to pay for everything.

However, the next day, she received a message from Jason, who’d had second thoughts about paying.

He asked if they could split the bill after all, having not realised how much he spent.

Sharing a screenshot of their conversation to the online forum, Anna explained: “I offered to pay for myself on the date which would have been 25 bucks.

“He drank so much the tab was over 100 bucks.”

In Jason’s message to her the following day, he asked if she could fire over $50 – double the amount that she’d really spent.

He wrote: "Good morning. I had a great time last night! After thinking it over... I think I will take you up on splitting the dinner.

"I'm going to the game today and didn't realise I spent so much last night lol. Can you Venmo me $50?"

Jason changed his mind the next day.

Anna decided to reply just as brazenly, saying: "Good morning. That offer expired after we left the restaurant. Have fun at the game."

Many people praised her for standing her ground, with one commenting: “I imagine he didn’t want to take her up on the offer at the restaurant because it would hurt his fragile ego. It would make him look bad. So he decided to ask for money when no one was around… disgusting.”

Someone else said: “Honestly the balls to change up the ratio after its been paid at all, let alone the next day.”

Another pointed out: “Does Jason know he's tagged with s**t and a red-flag emoji?”

A fourth joked: “You’ve heard of girl math, you’ve heard of guy math, you’ve even heard of dog math but let us now present… Jason math!”
