  "One time I went on a date with a guy, and he asked me to split the bill at dinner. No problem! We went to another place after and had a bottle of wine and dessert, but when the check came, he conveniently went to the bathroom. For some reason, I just paid it myself. When he got back, he told me he would leave the tip and threw a few coins and a ball of lint on the table. I threw down some cash because I felt bad for the bartender, and my date told me that he thinks tipping is ridiculous because it isn't his fault bartenders don't make a salary."

  "I went on a Tinder date with a guy who ended up living in a van. At the end of the date, he asked me to smuggle toilet paper out of the bar in my purse. THEN, he walked me home and asked me if he could use my shower."

  "On my first (and last) date with a guy, he asked me if I had any cash so he could run in a convenience store and buy something to drink. All I had was a $20 bill, which I handed to him. He came out and handed me two one-dollar bills and a few dimes/nickels. Not only did he use my money to buy himself a drink, but he also bought a can of chewing tobacco and some lottery tickets."

  "A guy showed up 45 minutes late for a date and admitted he was driving around trying to find a free parking spot because he didn't want to pay $5.00 to park in the lot across the street. He then got in a fight with the manager because he wouldn't let him drink the wine he brought as the establishment was no longer B.Y.O.B. When the check came, he didn't even acknowledge it, and I ended up paying for it just to get the f*ck out of there."

  "I went on a movie date with this guy. He went up to the garbage can and grabbed a discarded extra-large popcorn tub out of it. He then took it up to the snack bar and got it filled. Apparently, if you bought a big tub, it came with free refills, but instead of buying one himself, he just took one from the trash. He also smuggled a bottle of Pepsi in his jacket."

  "I met a guy at Starbucks for a date. When I arrived, he was already holding a cup of hot coffee from McDonald's. He told me he wanted to get his coffee there because Starbucks coffee was too expensive. I then waited in line to buy myself a coffee."

  "Met a guy on Tinder. He told me to meet him for a date at this place that turned out to be a meetup for his industry, which had an open bar. After we left, he took me to the hotel where he worked. I offered to split the check. He said he would take care of it and left for 15 minutes. When the guy came back, he told me that he actually DID want to split it because he thought the manager that he was close with would be there to comp the entire bill, but he wasn't. While signing the check, he said, "Well, I thought I was going to get through the night without spending any money at all, but I guess $25 isn't so bad, right?"

  "I went to dinner and a movie (or so I thought) with a guy my mom set me up with. When we got to the theater, he suggested I pay for the movie tickets and he would pick up dinner. Seemed fair. He also conveniently ran to the bathroom as I stood in line and bought the snacks. After the movie, he told me he wasn't hungry."
