First dates can be awkward, surprising, or downright disastrous — and this woman’s experience had enough red flags for her to block her date the moment she got home. Afterward, she turned to Reddit to ask if she had overreacted… and the responses were divided. It all started when a man asked her out.
She didn’t have any preference for where they should go — until he specifically asked for her favorite restaurant. She was completely honest, but immediately added a warning:
Her favorite place was very expensive. A typical dinner there could run close to $500.
Wanting to be considerate, she suggested something else: a casual Mexican spot with amazing food and a much more reasonable price. She made it clear she didn’t expect a first date at a high-end restaurant. But the man insisted.
He said he really wanted to try the place. So she went along with it, even though she personally saved that restaurant for special occasions. On first dates, she cared far more about getting to know the person than having a fancy meal.
The evening itself went smoothly. They ordered appetizers, entrées, drinks, even dessert. Conversation flowed easily.
And when the bill arrived — just as she expected — it was steep. They both immediately offered to split it. She even hesitated, because he had asked her out and he had chosen the pricey venue after seeing the menu, but she still placed her card on the table.
The man placed his card too. Then the server came to collect them — and that’s when things took a turn. Before the server could grab their cards, the man suddenly reached over, snatched hers off the table, and said he would pay for both meals after all.
