Speaker 1: Guys.
Speaker 2: I feel like there's an age old debate that goes
Speaker 2: around the world and it circles back twice a year.
Speaker 2: It goes viral. Who pays on a first date? Sorry,
Speaker 2: it was a rhetorical question.
Speaker 1: I was just saiding it up first date, Come on, boys,
Speaker 1: like you know, I know that we all ask for equality,
Speaker 1: but not an efference.
Speaker 2: All So, Laura love your I'm dating men. We're gonna
Speaker 2: pay twice. He should pay, just the other one.
Speaker 1: The other one that's not you. It's the person who pays.
Speaker 2: Okay, well this isn't what I was going to get into.
Speaker 2: But I also think the person that pays is the
Speaker 2: person that initiated the date. So if the woman asked
Speaker 2: the man on the date, the man can't pay, that's nice, chilly,
Speaker 2: but I agree, Well, this is serious, Laura. So there's
Speaker 2: an extension of that conversation that is going around online
Speaker 2: at the moment, and it's pretty bloody funny. As someone
Speaker 2: that's been in the dating world, I'm I'm taken now.
Speaker 2: I'm with my beautiful partner Bend. But I was dating
Speaker 2: for ten years and I've had my fair share. But
Speaker 2: this story is going around and it's not necessarily about
Speaker 2: paying for the date, but it's about when does the
Speaker 2: offer to have paid for the date expire? Now, what
Speaker 2: I mean by that is there's a girl that went
Speaker 2: on a date. Her name is Anna. She went on
Speaker 2: a date with Jason. Jason is now saved in her
Speaker 2: phone as Jason with a poo emoji and a red flag.
Speaker 2: That's how she saved his name, Jason, pooh red flag.
Speaker 1: So away from the smelly red flag.
Speaker 2: So they went out on a date, lovely date, shared
Speaker 2: drinks and food. He had more. He had one hundred
Speaker 2: dollars and she spent twenty five dollars of that. Okay,
Speaker 2: she offers to split the bill at the end, Hey,
Speaker 2: do you want I'll pay for my stuff, pay for
Speaker 2: her stuff, not split. Sorry, that's a very big differentiation.
Speaker 2: So she was gonna pay to buy a bucks He says,
Speaker 2: like a gentleman, No, no, no, don't be silly like
Speaker 2: I've got this, which is lovely. The next morning, she
Speaker 2: wakes up to a text message from Jason Pooh red
Speaker 2: flag and it says, good morning, I had a great
Speaker 2: time last night. After thinking it over, I think I
Speaker 2: will take you up on splitting the dinner. I'm going
Speaker 2: to the game today and I didn't realize I spent
Speaker 2: so much last night. Lol, can you venmo me fifty bucks?
Speaker 2: That's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: And also she didn't spend fifty dollars, why she pay
Speaker 1: fifty dollars?
Speaker 2: So now he's asking, He's like, actually, yes, I will
Speaker 2: have money, and I will have more money than you
Speaker 2: consumed on the night. Oh share her text. She wrote,
Speaker 2: good morning, that offer expired after we left the restaurant.
Speaker 2: Have fun at the game, and that's it. Now the
Speaker 2: conversation is going viral. How can you I mean, I
Speaker 2: know my answer absolutely not. You can the second you
Speaker 2: walk out of that restaurant. You cannot message someone the
Speaker 2: next day, later that night, a week later and say hey,
Speaker 2: you know what, I will take that money.
Speaker 1: No, I agree with you, But this is not a
Speaker 1: one off case. This happens often where people will say, oh,
Speaker 1: can you pay for those? And it's petty. It's things
Speaker 1: like can you pay for the coffees? Can you pay
Speaker 1: for the lunch that we had? And I'm talking if
Speaker 1: it's a significant amount of money, I understand, But when
Speaker 1: it's like a couple of dollars here or there, like
Speaker 1: why would you want the embarrassment of having to text
Speaker 1: them again.
Speaker 2: I remember going on a date one the guy asked
Speaker 2: me on the date, and I'll never forget this. It
Speaker 2: was just a sandwich and a milkshake. Like that was
Speaker 2: literally it. I was a grown woman. It was just
Speaker 2: a lunch date. Quickly, get a sanger and a smithy,
Speaker 2: sit at the and sit at the bee.
Speaker 1: I get a break. You don't always want to go
Speaker 1: and have like a drink and a sit down dinner,
Speaker 1: because that's so much investment. You want to go and
Speaker 1: have a light little walk.
Speaker 2: Cause we get to the sandwich shop and order, and
Speaker 2: I get awkward around money, so I just went to
Speaker 2: pay right because there was this moment where he didn't
Speaker 2: pull out his card. So I was like, I'll just
Speaker 2: do it. Two sandwiches, that's it. I went to pay
Speaker 2: and the lady goes, oh, sorry, it's cash only. I
Speaker 2: had a giggle. I thought this was funny. And I
Speaker 2: turned around to him and I said, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: I you know I only have my card. Do you
Speaker 2: have cash? He rolled his eyes like it was the
Speaker 2: worst thing, and he's like sure, dramatically went and handed
Speaker 2: over the cash and it was so awkward. I said, oh, well,
Speaker 2: I'll get the smoothies across the road and then you
Speaker 2: know it will be even I'm talking ten dollars each guys.
Speaker 2: So he was like, that sounds great. Went across to
Speaker 2: the smoothie shop. I went to pay again and she's said, oh,
Speaker 2: it's cash only again, and I thought this was hysterical.
Speaker 2: I just thought, like, what are the odds, it's funny.
Speaker 2: He literally looked at me and said, are you just
Speaker 2: taking me purposely to all the places that are cash
Speaker 2: only so you don't have to pay? Even though he
Speaker 2: saw me pull my card out, I actually couldn't believe it,
Speaker 2: and it was I thought he was joking and I
Speaker 2: was waiting for the laugh, and he didn't laugh. And
Speaker 2: I said, oh, if you want, I can go past
Speaker 2: the ATM on the way to the beach and I'll
Speaker 2: get twenty dollars out. Thinking there's no way he's going
Speaker 2: to make me do this. We walked past the ATM
Speaker 2: and he goes, here's the ATM and I had to
Speaker 2: get twenty dollars out and give it to him. I
Speaker 2: think I ended up paying more than what the sandwich
Speaker 2: ends MO to it costs. Then the icing on the cake,
Speaker 2: He bragged about how many properties he owned the whole time,
Speaker 2: and then at the end he said, I had a
Speaker 2: great time. Can I see you again? And I said wrong,
Speaker 2: computer says no. And so he wanted because I.
Speaker 1: Would have thought someone doing that would be because they
Speaker 1: didn't want to see you again, but he actually wanted
Speaker 1: to go another day and.
Speaker 2: To see me again. I'm like, there's a reason you're single, buddy.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Oh h
