First dates can be very tricky. There are so many unknowns. You’re not sure how the two of you will get along. Will they find you interesting or boring? And vice versa.
And then there is the financial consideration. Most first dates take place in reasonably priced areas. If you’re meeting someone for lunch or dinner, it’s customary to find a place that won’t break the bank.
But, over the years, there has been a debate over something that used to never be in question — who should pay?
These days it’s not uncommon to find both people splitting the bill. But, there’s still that old-fashioned expectation that a man should pay. After all, they are likely the ones to ask women out on dates, right?
However, most agree that expectations should be set before the date takes place, just so incidents like the one that happened to an embarrassed TikTok user don’t happen.
This user also sparked a huge debate on social media after sharing how her date shamelessly did not cover her meal when she forgot to bring money.
She also asked users if she should go out with him again.
While secretly filming her date, she explained how it was their first date in subtitles.
The woman in the video who goes by the handle @heydiberder zoomed in on her date as he sat and enjoyed his food while she had a nothing-burger with all the fixings.
Many of her 43.1K followers had strong opinions about the situation, as her post collected over 26K comments.
The video also collected over 3 million views, and her followers did not bite their tongues, as they seemed evenly divided regarding who was at fault.
You can watch her video below.
