Should you go Dutch on the 1st date, or should the guy settle the bill?
A Malaysian woman recently shared her 1st date experience that didn’t go as expected after the man showed little effort. In a screenshot shared by Facebook user Azizul Azli Ahmad, the woman, Su said she met her date for the 1st time at a restaurant.
Despite the high prices, the man ordered what he wanted, and when the bill came, the man was nervous and told Su,
“Wait. I thought you were going to pay? I forgot to withdraw.”

Su knew the game he was trying to pull there, so she suggested he paid with bank cards, to which the man said “his card has expired”.
The total damage was RM140, with the man’s part at RM100!
“My part was only RM40. He ordered mixed lamb and a drink. Regardless, I paid and had to send him home because I fetched him. He said his family members had to use his car.”

With Su already wary of the early red flags, the man texted her soon after they reached home, which prompted Su to block him immediately.
The man asked for some cash.
“Actually, I am a little embarrassed to ask this but can you lend me RM50? I need it for work tomorrow.”
Su did not even bother to reply because the man had sealed his fate. However, Su couldn’t help but wonder the story she heard from her date who told her that he was making a load of money at work.
“He said he made thousands at work and is always tasked to outstations. He said he could buy anything he wanted but I had to fetch him and pay for the meal, and even asked to borrow RM50.”

A 1st date is supposed to be the opportunity to understand someone better but at times, 1 date is enough for someone to foresee that the connection will not work in the long run.
Gentlemen, do you split the bill or pay for your date? Ladies, what do you say about this?
