Blocked and Ghosted: Woman Ghosts Date After $500 Dinner

Woman takes to Reddit to ask whether she was in the wrong for blocking a date after he took her out for a $500 dinner.

Reddit

She said the two had discussed dinner locations for their first date with her date asking what her favourite restaurant was.

She was honest and said that her favorite was a bit pricey especially for a first date.

She also suggested a much cheaper spot that she felt would be more appropriate for a first date spot.

She said that he wanted to make the final choice and heard all her suggestions.

She said that he went for her favourite restaurant where dinner for two costs about $500. 

According to her, he researched the restaurant and decided to go for it. She was excited to join him there considering it was her favourite place.

The date went well for the most part and the bill racked up as they ended up spending more time there.

When the b ill finally came, she offered to pay and he accepted. He also asked for separate checks.

She did admit that there was some hesitation on her part to split the bill since he had invited her, but she was willing to spit nonetheless. 

When the two checks finally arrived, the two put their cards down but he picked hers up and announced that he would be covering the whole bill.

He also starting staring at her card in an intense way.

She felt uncomfortable by this sudden change of heart and the strange evaluation of her card.

He also made a comment about finally 'knowing her last name' which; red flag. 

OP clarified in her comments that she had previously told him she was uncomfortable revealing her last name because of a prior stalking incident which left her fearful for her safety.

She said she was mostly put off because of the game he played pretending to split the bill only to switch up at the last minute.

She felt like she was being 'shit-tested' to see if she was actually willing to pay the bill. 

After she left, she blocked him on her way home but was second guessing herself after a friend told her she was in the wrong.

She further clarified in a later edit that she was freaked out by the way he checked her card.

She added that she had tipped but the comments made her feel like she should still have covered her half of the bill so she ended up venmoing him for the rest. 

She also said allegations of her being a gold-digger were laughable since she was in a high paying job while he was a teacher.

Some commenters agreed that 'shit-testing' was a common thing going around YouTube and that he had probably picked it up from there.

They also agreed that wanting to know her name after she had made it clear she didn't want it known was a major problem.
