A man took me out on a "date". I was really excited, blew off a work project, got new heels, a dress, and was excited to be wined and dined. I really did put in a lot of time, money, and energy trying to impress him and be good company.
I didn't ask him about whether he was paying and expected him to pay since he asked me out. When the bill came, he just gave me a blank stare. I asked him if he was taking care of it and he just said "No".
I got visibly upset and he started bragging about other women that wanted him, then threatened to get up and leave if I didn't pay. I panicked about being left with the whole bill.
He said we could split it and we both put in our cards. Turns out, he had actually LOCKED his card. The waitress came back and said "I'm really sorry, his card didn't work" and she told me my card got charged for BOTH meals.
Wanting to be "nice", I didn't complain, I just said that's okay and signed the check, but I'm wondering if this was my legal obligation. Can I complain to the restaurant?
I feel as though it was not fair he bullied me into paying for him and I got screwed over for trying to be a good person and pay my share out of respect for the restaurant, even though it was a date HE asked me on. But then the restaurant charged me for BOTH meals because this guy locked his card.
The guy also seemed very, very pleased with himself that he didn't need to pay and wouldn't leave a tip either, so I had to put down the little cash I had (20) too. It was 100 for both plus tip and this guy refused to pay anything and bullied me into paying for him by locking his card. I'm not sure what else I could have done and feel really bad about the whole thing. Could I have asked to only pay for myself?
ALSO: since my house was down the street from the restaurant, I stupidly let him talk me into "walking me home" and then when we got to my door, he said he had to use the bathroom so I stupidly let him inside. He then took his shoes off and tried to stay, and I had to kick him out. Thankfully my 30 year old roommate was there, so the guy sheepishly left when he realized another man was in the house, but I'm worried something terrible could have happened. I'm kind of shocked at my naivety looking back. Could he have bullied me into segs too if my roommate wasn't there?
TLDR: Guy bullied me into paying and I was really really shocked and unsure how to handle it. How do I avoid this happening again? my mom said it would have been rude to ask upfront if he was paying and i wasted my time and feel terrible and traumatized.
This is a troll post
Sorry but I have a hard time believing you're a woman. Women don't usually say, " he was tall" when describing a man.
Go away, male. MISOGYNISTIC MEN CAN NOT CONVINCINGLY IMITATE WOMEN. WE WILL KNOW YOU ARE A MAN EVERY TIME. Keep proving how badly you understand women and FDS, you pathetic incel. And then brainstorm some reasons why you might be sad and single. Hint: could it be the misogyny?
I remember reading the exact same story but with the man's perspective. Op you're not a troll, right? Something's fishy here.
Hey OP, most women would not blow off an important project for a man...just saying..
Also, most of us don't believe you're actually a woman either.
Why do incels like posting this copypasta? Like, what's the end game here? Obviously any woman would just bounce after "going to the bathroom" in a RL scenario like this, so like is the goal to strike fear in the hearts of women? Because obviously that won't work. Or is it to give ideas to men?
Also women don't say 'segs' you full on autist.
It was the story where the guy wanted to give the woman a lesson, he left her pay for the whole date all that under the excuse of (equality) when he didn't pay shit and then proceeded to ask if he could use her bathroom.
So now that your cover is dropped sir, Why not show the original story you send on reddit? You think you're a top dog Alpha male for wanting to "Teach women a lesson" But The only woman who should be taught a lesson is your mother for raising a scrote.
*cracks knuckles*
Just to body slam this dude and finish him off:
His profile url is: https://www.thefemaledatingstrategy.com/profile/joranburkebusiness
so he used his business email 🙄
He joined two days ago with this bland-ass user name "AnxiousDater101," immediately posted this dumb fanfiction copypasta and left 34 comments/replies on it, and chose this comment (attached) of his as "best answer" for his own post.
If you really want to spend time with us Mr. Burke, I recommend simply lurking. You might learn a thing or two.
Yeah this is that incel Reddit power fantasy story but from the woman's perspective. Be more creative next time.
There’s no way this is a woman. "Angry men told me to come here". Hard pass, scrote.
Anyone notice how OP is no longer replying?
I would pay for my own dinner and let him do the dishes at the restaurant or have the cops deal with his ass. I'm not his mommy and I won't allow a man to mooch off me. Whoever asks me out should pay, Don't want that? then leave me be.
Honestly you should have gotten up and left him to deal with the bill. Also, why would you let him walk you home???
Total troll post. I recall reading this exact same story elsewhere. What kind of loser spends this kind of time to troll? Oh right, the kind who has no hobbies or friends and has all the time in the world! No wonder you're single, dude. Grow the fuck up.
I would have poured all of the leftover wine and food on the table onto his head and walked right the fuck out.
Simple solution, feminists. Carry in your purse $100 ($20s , 10$ and $5).and change to break a $1 bill. When the check comes, you tally your portion to the nearest penny. He pulls this shit? When the server comes pay your part of the bill in cash (plus tip, of course).
TROOOOLLLLL
I’m glad you are safe. You have to dip out much earlier- at the first sign of disrespect. Also, you need emergency plan, like telling a friend where you are and have a plan to signal if things go wrong. Watch out for yourself the same way you’d watch out for a friend!
Can you give more details about your date besides the ones from the original story?
