His Friends Accused Him Of Being Inappropriate Because He Left His Number On A Dinner Bill In Hopes Of Getting A Date With His Waitress
Just a few nights ago, this 26-year-old guy went out to dinner with a few of his friends. They decided to eat at a pretty nice restaurant, but apparently, the food wasn’t the only thing that garnered his attention.
As soon as he sat down with his friends, he detailed how their waitress– who was a woman in her early twenties– immediately caught his eye.
What really stood out was the waitress’ sense of style, as well as her “cuteness.”
“Her outfit was really unique, and it just seemed to suit her perfectly,” he recalled.
Then, throughout their entire meal, he thought the woman was very attentive and friendly. So, he really could not help but be drawn to her.
That’s why, after some time passed, he decided to just shoot his shot. More specifically, he thought it would be a good idea to simply compliment the woman on her outfit.
“Hey, I just wanted to say that you look really cute tonight, and your outfit is amazing. It suits you so well,” he told her.
According to him, the waitress took his compliment really well, too, and proceeded to smile and thank him.
So, after he and his friends finished up their dinner, he decided to just write his phone number on the bill to leave for the waitress. He figured it wouldn’t be a big deal and thought the waitress might opt to reach out to him if she was interested in getting to know each other better or even going out on a date.

But then, when he handed the waitress back the receipt, he decided to comment on the fact that he left his phone number.
“I hope this isn’t too forward, but I’ve really enjoyed talking to you tonight and thought you might like to get in touch if you’re interested,” he said.
Now, after he said that, the waitress took the receipt, thanked him, and smiled again. But that time, he noticed the waitress’ smile was a bit different– almost seeming kind of forced.
That pushed him to assume that she just was not interested in him. And honestly, that was fine– because he didn’t want to push the idea of a date or make the waitress uncomfortable at all. Once he and his friends left the restaurant, though, his friends called him out for leaving behind his number– accusing him of being inappropriate.
His friends claimed that he should not have put the waitress on the spot like that while she was in her place of work. They also pointed out how it wasn’t cool to hit on service workers who were simply trying to work.
“But I genuinely didn’t mean any harm, and I thought I was being polite and respectful about it,” he vented.
Nonetheless, his friends’ comments have pushed him to wonder whether leaving his phone number on the bill for his waitress was a jerky thing to do.
Have you ever left your number behind for a server or been on the receiving end of an interaction? Do you agree that it’s inappropriate? How could he have navigated this situation better?
