My Date Insisted on Paying the Bill – I Wish I Hadn’t Let Him
Then came the next morning.
At 8:07 AM, I received a text from Eric. Expecting a sweet follow-up or maybe a request for a second date, I was instead greeted by… an invoice.
Yes, an actual itemized invoice. Listed were “charges” for the roses ($12.99), the small gift ($9.50), pulling out my chair ($1.00), opening the car door ($1.50), and the dinner itself. But here’s where it got bizarre—each item had a required “repayment” method. A hug for the flowers. A selfie for the gift. A “long conversation about feelings” for pulling out my chair. And for dinner? A guaranteed second date.
At the bottom of the invoice, in bold, it read:
Failure to comply may result in collections. Chris will hear about this.
