She Went On A First Date With A Guy Who Dropped $1,000 In Tips That Night And It Really Turned Her Off
A woman met a guy through a dating app, and she recently went out on a first date with him. She found him quite attractive and kind, though she didn’t believe they had any sort of immediate chemistry.
She just didn’t jive with him that way emotionally or mentally. Anyway, on their first date yesterday, this guy kept saying that he really wanted to pick her up in his car, but that was beyond her comfort level.
They instead settled on sharing an Uber that he would grab first before coming to get her by the building where she works.
She learned that same evening that he wanted to pick her up in the first place so he could “show off his car” and it seems there was a lot he wanted to show off that night.
While they made their way to Outback Steakhouse for dinner in their Uber, she found their conversation pleasant enough.
They then arrived at dinner, and her date whipped out $100 to tip their Uber driver.
“He did in a way to make sure I saw it but was trying to make it look like it wasn’t obvious,” she explained.
“This is just a shortlist of people he tipped, and all at least $100. The girl who opened the door at the restaurant, 3 girls at the hostess stand, bartender, server, door girl again on way out, the guy at the ice cream shop, next bartender, and the guy who was mopping the floor after the person next to us spilled a drink and Uber driver who took us home.”
As she watched her date pass out hundreds left and right, she couldn’t help but realize that he was doing it in a way that said he wanted her to see him throwing money around like that.

The weird thing was that the amount of money her date was tipping didn’t line up with what he actually spent on their date itself, which consisted of going to Outback Steakhouse for dinner, Cold Stone for ice cream, and some kind of dive bar for drinks.
All in, their date didn’t cost anywhere close to $1,000…yet that has to be what he spent in just the tips alone.
“Date otherwise was fine and if it hadn’t been for the tipping I’d go out with him a 2nd time, no question,” she said.
“But something about it really turned me off—it was generous but the ostentatiousness of it put me off.”
Earlier today, she did tell her best friend about this guy and their date, but her best friend doesn’t understand how the extravagant tipping was a turnoff.
Her best friend is under the impression she is “crazy” for not wanting to go on another date with a man who is “willing to splash around money like that.”
“Oh, and if it matters I’m like a 5 and don’t date often at all…so it will be months or longer before I find another guy to date,” she concluded.
Do you think she should go on a second date with him? Or is she right to find his over-the-top tipping a turn-off?
