She Refused To Foot A $300 Dinner Bill On A Date With A Guy Who Ordered $220 Worth Of Stuff And Even Offered To Pay Beforehand, And He Freaked Out On Her
While this 21-year-old woman was recently swiping on Tinder, she came across a very sweet and cute 23-year-old guy. So, they got to talking, and they really hit it off.
“I thought he was the cutest, and I absolutely loved his personality,” she said.
During their early conversations, she also found out that he attended a nearby college. That’s why they made some plans to meet up and go out to eat at a local restaurant.
Now, to be clear, she doesn’t have any problem paying for her own meals on dates. However, when they discussed the date before it happened, the guy actually offered to pay for her.
She even asked if he was sure about that and said he could just foot the bill for himself. Still, the guy claimed he would be “more than happy” to pay for her dinner.
So, on the day of their date, she arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes early to get her seat and wait for the guy to arrive. He showed up right on time, too, and the date got off to a great start.
They asked each other all the basic first-date questions and had some small talk before ordering their food.
“I was having a really great time, and I thought he was, too,” she recalled.
Well, that was until the check arrived, and it was a whopping $300! She could not afford to have paid that, either, especially because the guy ordered $220 worth of the food listed on the bill.

Despite that, he still had the nerve to ask if she would be okay paying for the entire dinner. His reasoning? He just “didn’t have the money for it right now.”
To be clear, she claims she wouldn’t have had a problem paying if the bill was cheaper. However, the guy went ahead and ordered a $130 steak, numerous appetizers, and alcoholic drinks.
So, she tried telling him that she simply couldn’t afford to pay the full $300 and tried to compromise by saying she’d just pay for her own meal – which cost $80. But he didn’t understand that and actually freaked out on her.
“He exploded, told me I was selfish, and started talking about everything I took little bites of that he ordered,” she revealed.
This made her super uncomfortable, too, and she wanted to leave the date as quickly as possible. So, she actually flagged down a waiter, paid for just her portion of the meal, and left the guy with the remaining $220 bill.
“But I really liked him, and I feel bad for just leaving him with a bill that high,” she vented.
That’s why she’s now not sure if refusing to cover the full $300 check on their date was really the wrong thing to do.
Why do you think the guy offered to pay for her beforehand but then proceeded to order so much food that was over his budget? Did she do the right thing by refusing to cover the whole bill?
