    My date blew me off for not buying him sushi. I got $400 omakase instead.

    Hi. So there was this event at a bar that I was planning to go to this weekend and I asked this guy to be my date that night as I don't like being alone in crowded unfamiliar places. At

    first he seemed quite enthusiastic as he messaged me a lot about it. One time, he causally mentioned how expensive going out in NYC has become, which is true btw. I
  • 04
    went, "no worry, I will pick up the tab and we will have a good time". I genuinely did not think of it as a big deal since I am not the most frugal person in the world.
  • 05
    So the night before our supposed date, I wanted to confirm everything and messaged him that well, "we can also grab something to eat beforehand, what kind of food do you like?" He got back to me,
  • 06
    saying there is a sushi place in Queens he wants to try. Initially, I was struck this being bizarre, as the bar is in the west village and if we do what he wants, I'd have to forfeit most of the night
  • 07
    to be in Queens. And the only reason why we are even hanging out is because I wanted to go to this bar. So I made a logical response, suggesting we could get something else near the bar. He

    became unresponsive. When I pressed for a confirmation from him for the itinerary, he said he needed to think about it. At this point, I'd realize he really takes me for a meal ticket. He's

    trying to get me capitulated to his demands, as it's already Friday night and I am running out of options of people still free and available, which as matter of fact I was. He really

    derailed my plan. And, I pulled out my phone and booked myself a $400 17-course omakase at a very nice place in the village. I had blast with the insanely delicious meal and I
  • 11
    posted the picture of the sushi to my instagram stories. He messaged me later, claiming he's sorry and he got busy with family, blah blah blah. I blocked him immediately.

    Tight-Shift5706 · 16 hr. ago The guy's the quintessential AH. OP, you handled him brilliantly. Your evening improved immensely without him. Addition by subtraction!

    RetroScores 13 hr. ago Yea, when someone tells you they're picking up the tab you don't get to be picky. That's a shut up and go with the flow situation.

    Sea_Chemistry7487 · 17 hr. ago This is a guy with an open goal who missed. Whenever you feel that you have absolutely no game, save this post and boost your self esteem. All he had to say was "It's really your call I'm just delighted to be in your company", dress nice and turn the

    thrwy 111822. 17 hr. ago It was a power play that backfired. NYC is literally full of sushi places, there was no reason for him to suggest somewhere that far out of the way. The only reason for him to
  • 18
    ask for something that ridiculous and then sulk about it is that he wanted to demonstrate "it's my way or the highway". Well played all around

    manniax 17 hr. ago • He's trying to show you he's an "Alpha Male" who dictates what happens on a date. But he ends up just looking pathetic. Good on you for blocking him.

    CanAhJustSay · 16 hr. ago I blocked him immediately. Perfect response. Hope you enjoyed every delicious mouthful, with a side dish of cold revenge!

    Ashonash29 17 hr. ago Yes! Honestly best response on your end, had literally a chance to meet a generous interesting person and a free meal to boot. You're too good for that girl, what's the dating scene like in NY?
