    Font - I went on a date with one of my friends whom I'll call Sarah (not her real name) that I attend the same university with. I've always known that my friend has a thing for me, but I've always been reluctant to go on a date with her because I genuinely value our friendship and felt putting romance there would just mess things up.

    Font - About a week ago, I was hanging out with Sarah and our other mutual friend as they listened to me complain about my unfortunate dating history. The mutual friend then put out the idea of a date between Sarah and I. He did this mainly to just make the room temporarily awkward, but it led to a conversation where I essentially asked Sarah for a date. For the days leading up to the date, Sarah and I's became a lot more flirty, and I have to admit I was also excited for the date.

    Font - Two days ago, I picked Sarah up, and we went to a fairly fancy restaurant. When the waiter came, I ordered my food. She then ordered basically three separate meals, and I didn't know what to say or how to question why she ordered so much food.

    Font - When I finished my food, she barely ate half of one plate, and she then said she wasn't actually hungry because she ate lunch right before she left her place. I asked her why then she ordered three meals and she said one is for her mom's dinner since she's always wanted to try this restaurant out and the other meal is for her to eat with her mom during dinner.

    Font - I had told her I would pay for the date, but I definitely never agreed to paying for her mom and her dinner when we had only gone out for lunch. The meal was expensive, but I would have been fine paying for her if she actually ate all three meals. Instead, it all just felt wrong to me. The rest of the date was ruined for me, and I was checked out for the rest of the date I was just going through the motions.

    Font - After I left her at her place, I went radio silent on her as I was still annoyed by what she did. Today, I wanted to just tell her that I think it's better we go back to being friends, but as I opened our chat message her, I read a message she sent me shortly after our date. She basically was thanking me for the date and then went on to pour out her feelings for me and say that she has loved me for years and the date was like a dream come true for her.

    Font - I had to drive over to her place to try as gently as possible that the feelings aren't mutual, which resulted in her crying and screaming at me as to why I was flirting with her before the date and why I even asked her out to the date. I feel horrible

    Font - Honestly ordering extra meals is fine, just.... pay for them? It is like imagine if they were like "hey give me your wallet", gave all the cash in it to a homeless guy without talking to you, then talked about how they just love helping people (A real thing that happened to me on a date except it was my umbrella I was sharing with them and it was raining at the time).

    Font - MrSnugglez22 +1 - 1 day ago Honestly the largest red flag was the aftermath of the situation where she was love bombing, then resorted to guilt tactics when that didn't work. OP kinda dodged a bullet, one overpriced date is a small price to pay versus the prospect of being trapped into an emotionally abusive relationship with someone who exhibits those behaviors so prominently very early on.
