I had my first date with someone after a long pause today and we went to nice pizza place. The date went well but in the end he wanted to split the bill even though he ate more and drank more. I didn't want to fight or say anything so I complied. Then we had half of a pizza that was leftover. He packed and took it in his hand and then started walking toward his car. I don't know what came over me but I said "excuse me, may I have the pizza box please." And then he just looked at me and said "ya go ahead." I took it and left.
Honestly I didn't even care about the pizza I was just pissed at his behavior. Not only he ate more and then wanted to split the bill but also had the audacity to take 15 inch pizza that I paid for without even asking me. How rude and low value is that? The old me would embarrassed to ask so directly, but the me just doesn't give a fuck about these scrote anymore.
I feel weird though.
Edit: so he asked me on another date for "drinks." I told him that I am not really looking for new friends at the moment, my priorities in my career and dating. To which he replies "yah I got a friend vibe from you as well." Like, why did you ask me on another date if you got the friend vibe.
Imagine… this is just a date , so this is him on his BEST behavior.
Imagine how selfish he’d be if you got into a relationship with him !
You should've said no let's get separate checks to the waiter. But anyway I applaud you for still being able to at least get the pizza. These POS know what they're doing and it's shameful for him not to pay despite asking. That's why I gave up dating cause they keep pulling these tactics.
I once had a guy eat and drink more than me and he insisted I have wine and then not only did he refuse to pay for me, he gave them a big cash tip. I saw the £4 on the table that he left and took it myself - I thought, “they’ve only popped to us here and there, I’ve had the embarrassment of being with this idiot who also FELL ASLEEP FROM DRUNKENESS on the date.”
So yeah, never worry about being angry or petty, because men are even more so. Good on you for getting sassier than you used to be!
Next time say, "OMG, I am so embarrassed. This entire time, I thought this was a date! I didn't realize you just wanted to be friends. Sure, here's my card." And great move asking for the pizza box!
You weren't tacky. He was. (And I'm putting it lightly)
Haha, no - not tacky, just appropriately sassy! ❤️ I love how you even said 'please' when you asked for your pizza back. Fuck that embarrassingly uncivilised cheapskate and his 50/50 bullshit.
Wow, this is horrific. Nothing you could have done after this would have been tacky in my view. Literally nothing could be lower than his behaviour here. You did nothing wrong and it's totally justified that you felt like being spiteful. Don't beat yourself up.
Sorry this was your experience after a dry spell. What a piece of trash.
noooo, not tacky; he put you in an awkward position with his shitty behavior, and you asserted yourself!
I think you handled this situation perfectly. You even got the pizza instead of letting that cheapskate get over on you. It seems like all modern males have these days is audacity.
I'm so glad you took the pizza haha. Perfection.
Pizza sounds like a quick bite after work to me. Ummmm… no…. I always make the guy go full out on the first date.
It reminds me of my ex co-workers who’d grab two slices at the 7/11, nuke it in the staff room, and pretend like they were going on a lunch date.
It’s okay tho. My first date after a long while was a walk around my local mall.
Congrats on the bullet dodged!💪
Leftover takeaway pizza tastes so good when reheated and eaten the next day 😁😁
