30-year-old man requests $3 to split french fries with 28-year-old date, she calls him petty: 'I thought it was a joke, but nope, he was serious'

Imagine a love story that starts out with, "We went to dinner together, then he Venmo-requested $3 from me for shared French fries." What? That doesn't scream romantic to you? Yeah, me either, and this woman was highly put off by her date's major red flag while on their first date. 

A lot of people don't seem to understand the point of first dates. They're to get to know each other, to flirt, and to see if you have enough chemistry to continue dating. But a lot of people go on these first dates as if they're guaranteed a second and a third date afterwards. Why wouldn't you want to put your best foot forward? You're supposed to be impressing your date, and this kind of behavior just won't fly. 

Venmo-requesting someone in the first place can feel like begging – I find that it's usually less awkward if you mention it in person, and tell the other person the exact amount to send you, rather than sending a request in the app. It's a little etiquette thing, but I think it matters. After all, in today's modern day and age, finding true love is basically just deciding who you want to spend a lifetime sending $10 back and forth with.
