For a long time, many believed that men should pay the bill; but modern times have taught us to be independent and that choosing to split the bill isn\u2019t such a big deal after all. <\/p>\n
A TikTok user shared a video where she explains how her first date went wrong as her wealthy date expected them to split the tab. <\/p>\n
There is a fine line between being stingy and selfish, and this date seemed a little on the stingy side<\/p>\n
There was a good start to the date; she explains that he had asked her to choose the restaurant where they will be having their very first date. <\/p>\n
That seems like a nice suggestion, right? You get to have dinner somewhere, a little fancier than Burger King.<\/p>\n She said her date told her that she could pick any place to have dinner at; except where drinks cost $30 (R543), she didn\u2019t think much of it, as many of us are trying to save money.<\/p>\n The date seemingly went well. The cheque came down $90 and he then asked if they could split it, and the TikTok user didn\u2019t have a problem with it and proceeded to do so.<\/p>\n However, hours later he said to her: \u201cOh just so you know, I make like $100 000 a year; you know like I have lots of money.\u201d He added that he wanted to break the stereotype of men paying on the first date. <\/p>\n This ruined the experience for her and she said that she felt lied to. <\/p>\n One comment read: \u2018\u2019Never get involved with a man who\u2019s \u2018testing\u2019 you from the start.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n Many viewers agreed that the date should have paid for the date, considering his salary. But he chose to use this as an opportunity to teach her a \u201clesson\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n Another user commented: \u2018\u2019If someone who asked me out wanted to split the bill I would pay the whole thing and never see them again \u2018bye, Boy\u2019.\u201c <\/p>\n Tip: Don\u2019t be like Mr 6 figures.<\/p>\n\n
