Redditor Thinks Her Date Is Up To No Good And Blocks Him After He Finds Out Her Last Name.
A lot of women have scary stories about their first dates, and most of them are shared online. One woman on Reddit wrote about a fantastic date with a man. She said they ate at an expensive restaurant of her choice.

This person (OP) didn’t know where they were going to have dinner when the man first asked her to go on a date. She told him an expensive place was her best when he asked her which one it was.
She told them that the food there was expensive and suggested that they eat somewhere less fancy. There was even a Mexican restaurant that OP thought would have better food for less money because her favorite place to eat would cost them $500.
Even though it cost a lot, her date chose to eat at her favorite place because he wanted to try the food. The woman said most of her first dates happened in less formal settings. One of her favorite restaurants was only a place she went to celebrate, have a treat, or when she felt like it.

OP didn’t think the restaurant was necessary for the first date because she was more interested in getting to know her date and hearing about their life than in obtaining food. She and her new date ordered starters, significant dishes, and drinks for their evening out.
The talk went well, and they even asked for pie. However, OP knew that their bill would be high, so when it came, she and her date offered to split it. OP said,
“I hesitated and said it after he said it because he asked me out and insisted we went there after he read the menu.”

It was customary for OP to ask for separate checks on first dates because she thought her dates might not want to pay for a woman’s meal if they weren’t interested in her. The different bills came, and she put her card on the table. Her date did the same thing.
When the server returned to take their cards, OP’s date grabbed hers and said he’d pay for them. After reading her card, he said, “Oh, now I finally know your last name.” OP had a different thought while he was saying that.
She works as a bartender and deals with money and cards. One of her coworkers can remember numbers quickly, which could lead to fraud or a crime. OP was also upset that her date changed his mind and wanted to pay for everything.

He might have been messing with her head to see if she would agree to pay half the price. Her words: “I felt like he was checking to see if I was a gold digger or something,” even though she had told him not to go there on their first date.
She thanked him, went home, and blocked him after dinner. She told him that it made her mad that he was looking at her card since she didn’t want to give him her last name. After reading the responses to her Reddit post, the poster (OP) sent the man money for her part of the bill.
The Reddit user said she had learned from her mistake. People on Reddit agreed with her and said she could cut off any guy who made her feel bad. Some people thought she was overthinking things, though.
A Fight Happens Because The Boyfriend’s Vegetarian Girlfriend Won’t Pay For His Meat.

A Reddit user went to the “AITA” topic on June 17, 2023, to vent her anger. She said that she and her boyfriend, John, who is 20, had been together for almost a year. Their relationship wasn’t too bad, but there was some friction because she was a vegetarian.
The teen became a vegetarian when she was 11 because she had morally solid views. Her partner didn’t like that she wouldn’t spend her money on meat. When OP got her own money, she swore she wouldn’t spend it on meat, which caused problems with her boyfriend when they went out to eat.
Most of the time, they split the bill, but sometimes John paid for everything. She had clarified that she would pay for both meals if he chose a vegetarian, but he only did that sometimes.

He only paid for her meals when she spent money on things they did together, like going to shows or events. She spent more than €120 ($130) on tickets at these events, while he spent about €50 ($54) on food.
OP and her boyfriend celebrated his birthday at his favorite high-class restaurant a few days before she posted her Reddit story. He treated himself to the most expensive steak, which he had with a salad and a bottle of wine.
When the meal ended, she asked the host for two bills, which surprised John. When her boyfriend realized she wasn’t playing, he was confused. He thought she would pay because it was his birthday, but he said he had yet to plan to spend money on the meal.

She was confused, so she asked him about his assumption and reminded him of her long-standing rule that she doesn’t buy meat with her own money. Aside from the fact that it was his birthday, he had no other reason for his hopes.
OP tried to find a middle ground by saying he would pay for the side salad and wine while he paid for the steak. But her offer made him even more angry, and he stormed off to the bathroom because he was so mad.
To make things better, OP paid for her lunch, the wine, and the salad while she waited calmly for him to return. She decided to leave after 20 minutes of watching and seeing no sign of him. She was confused by his sudden response and absence.

They found him sitting on a bench close to where they had parked the car. She was confused and asked him why he left so quickly. He told her he still had to pay for his part. He was shocked and didn’t know she had paid him.
His response became even more explosive when she told him she meant to cover everything but the meat. He made a lot of charges against her, calling her selfish and telling her to grow up.
Even though he acted out, OP stayed calm and stressed that he needed to return to the restaurant and pay the bill. But he laughed at her idea and walked away in a rebellious way.
Because he wouldn’t take responsibility, OP chose to drive home without him, leaving him to deal with the effects of his sudden rage.

Later, OP’s boyfriend blamed her for being kicked out of his favorite restaurant because of the dine-and-dash episode. His claims made her look for help on Reddit, which made her question whether or not what she was doing was right.
People asked OP why she didn’t do anything nice for her boyfriend on his birthday. She said it was because she had used her savings to buy him a gift.
She also clarified that she hadn’t suggested the dinner date; it was his idea. Many people agreed with her, and some even said that her relationship was about to end.
Indian Man Cancels Date With A Black Woman After Seeing How Racist She Is
They went on a date. The Indian man had a crush on the white woman at the gym. He soon found out, though, that her attitude did not match his. He blocked her number because the date was so bad that he didn’t want to see her again.

He also thought about doing even worse things to make sure he would never have to see her again. That person went to Reddit to tell his story and find out if he was wrong to end the date and block her number.
Let’s start at the story’s beginning and hear about their first date. He booked a Korean barbecue restaurant. They waited at the bar for a while for their table. When they arrived, his date asked what the fire on the table was for.
The original poster was surprised that his date didn’t know a Korean barbecue, so he told her what it was and that they would be grilling their food. She then asked,

“But why do we have to do all the work?” Someone on Reddit told his date that he thought the barbecue was fun, but they could order something from the à la carte menu if she didn’t want to go.
She told them that the kitchen staff should take care of everything. The original poster wanted to date even though she felt terrible about her actions. She asked for dessert when the meal was over. He agreed and told the waitress to bring him a choice.
After the waitress gave them the menu and left, his date said mean things about the restaurant staff, calling them “useless immigrants” and saying she was afraid they were there illegally and using American taxpayer money.

A group of people close heard what she said and started to whisper. The date of the original poster saw this and started to say bad things about them, too, even using a racial slur against Pakistani people. The person on Reddit was terrified by this and couldn’t believe his Indian date would use a slur against the group.
She told him, “Oh no, I don’t mean Latinos,” when she saw his face. Everything is okay. It’s my favorite food. The original poster chose to stay until the end of the cake, even though he was upset that she thought he was Latino instead of Indian.
They paid their bill with a tip, and he went to the bathroom. He then left the restaurant. The first poster left his date at the restaurant, even though he had taken her there, and stopped her caller ID when he got home.

He even thought about going to a different gym to avoid seeing her again. Reddit made it clear that he only left her at the restaurant because he didn’t want to spend twenty minutes in the car with her after what she did and said on their date.
People on the Internet were asked to tell him if he was wrong. Many praised him for still paying the bill after she misbehaved and supported his choice to leave and block her number.
Others said he was wrong to leave it up to the restaurant staff to tell the woman why he was going. Some people thought he should have said why he was going.
My Husband Told Me He Forgot His Wallet And Expected Me To Pay For My Birthday Dinner.

My husband Henry and I just got married. We started this new step later in life because we were focused on our jobs first. Yes, it was later in life because we wanted to focus on our jobs before considering having a family.
My husband is a great engineer, and I’m a doctor. Having held crying kids made me decide I didn’t want my own. I thought getting married later would be easier because people my age would know what they wanted and who they were, but I was wrong.
People can show completely new sides of themselves even in their 40s. Since it was my 40th birthday yesterday, Henry suggested we have a birthday dinner after work and invite my parents, who live nearby.

Because we were so tired from work, our date nights usually consisted of pizza and a movie at home. This was new and cool. Henry told me he had a ticket to one of the most excellent places in town.
It was somewhere we’d always wanted to go but needed more time. Things were going well until it was time to pay the $1,100 bill. We knew where and the cost, so it wasn’t a surprise. But what came next shocked me a lot. Henry looks at me with a straight face, smiles, and says:
“Hey, Sweetheart, it’s your birthday today, so I thought you’d pay.” “I forgot to bring my wallet.” He used his finger to get the last bit of sauce off his empty plate. It was quiet except for the talk of the people around us.

My family and I were shocked. My dad was angry and told Henry, “Shame on you.” For Nora’s birthday, you asked us to come to dinner. Don’t get me wrong—you can afford to pay for it—but how can you not?”
My dad asked, “Did you even buy her a birthday present, or did you expect her to do that too?” while my husband just grinned awkwardly, not noticing that we were uncomfortable.
I was too shocked by Henry to stand up for him. Even my dad wouldn’t let me answer because my husband didn’t get me a birthday present. I thought this dinner was a gift. After a moment, I told Henry, “This is sad.”

I didn’t mean to fight back, but the more champagne he drank, the worse I felt. I asked, “Why did you make a big deal about my birthday if you want me to pay for everything?”
I don’t mind because it was dinner with my parents, but you made us look bad at the end of the day.” Still, Henry didn’t say anything, and my parents looked at each other in shock. I sighed deeply as I paid the bill.
When we left, I felt let down and embarrassed. This is precisely what my parents told me not to do. They were happy when I finally met Henry, but they told me not to be with someone who would use me before the wedding.

When we got home, I told Henry, “It’s not about the money,” about his careless behavior. It has to do with the idea.” He said it wasn’t true because he had left his wallet on the table beside his bed when we ran out the door.
He said he thought I would be willing to pay the bill. There was no feeling of regret at all. He didn’t show any sign of understanding of how I felt about anything. The dinner event was a turning point that made me think again about how our relationship works.
Henry tried to say sorry this morning, but it was too late. Without a doubt, this birthday has become a turning point. I married a stranger. At the end of the original post, it asked readers for tips or similar situations.
