I went on a date and he paid for the meal but asked me to transfer my half to him the next day – should I see him again?

A woman revealed she was asked to transfer her date for half the price of the meal and now she is considering not seeing him again.

Taking to UK parenting platform Mumsnet, she explained that they initially agreed to split the bill, but when her card was declined, her date said he would pay for her, although the following day he asked her to transfer him the money.

She added that she transferred him the money but is now ‘put off’ seeing him again, saying he seems ‘petty’.

Many agreed saying that “evil is not an attractive quality” and others claimed that it would immediately give them the “icken”.

mail read: ‘Had a date. Went for sushi. I got a few dishes and he seemed to count on getting through. I got some strawberry cheesecake mochi and he said ”that looks good. I might try it sometime. Use enough today hahaha”

‘Went to tap the card as we agreed to split the bill. I did my half and my card was declined. I told the waiter, quick as a flash, I’m going to have to put in my pin because I’ve probably tapped too many times now

“The man I was on the date with said ‘just let me have this please’ and he pressed. He now sends a message tonight saying ‘can you transfer your half? As we agreed to go half. It’s Santander xxx yyy lll’

‘Then immediately followed up with a link saying” fancy this next week?” So I have. And haven’t replied back to say it’s done. AIBU not be interested now? It just seems a little petty. I personally would have just left it if the shoe was on the other foot.’

Many rushed to the comments with their own thoughts on the date, with some saying she shouldn’t see him again.

One person said: ‘I wouldn’t see him again, he’s too creepy. Nix! He made himself look generous in front of the waiter and then went back on it later.

‘I don’t like stingy men. You said you would enter your PIN to pay your half, so why did he bother to say he would pay when that was not his intention?’

Another said: ‘I wonder if he felt ‘you were making a scene’ even though you weren’t and paid to end it. I also think he sounds either skinless or extremely tight, which I would find attractive.’

Another said: ‘This would totally put me off. If I were him in this situation I would have just paid your half and said something like ‘you just fix the bill next time’.

‘He should also have given you the chance to put your card in the machine. I didn’t want to meet him again.’

While a fourth agreed saying: ‘Bin. He sounds like one of those men who likes to be seen by others to do the nice thing, but is different behind. closed doors.’

Meanwhile, others thought she should give him another chance, saying he might just be broken at the moment.

One person said: ‘I don’t know, you guys agreed to break up and I think on a first date it’s fair enough for both of them to pay for themselves. If you liked him, I’d give him another chance.’

Another wrote: ‘I wonder if maybe he thought he was being chivalrous – like stepping in to save you embarrassment if you couldn’t pay?

‘I’d give him another chance when in doubt, but keep an eye out for something like this as there’s nothing worse than someone who squeezes.’

Another said: ‘I understand why it feels weird. He stopped you from inserting the card because he wanted to “get this” but now regrets it and wants you to reverse his decision he made.

‘If I really liked him, I’d see him again, but just wanted to keep a mental note of this thing that happened (and if anything else started to feel weird, it all adds up…)’

While a fourth wrote: ‘If I liked him this wouldn’t be enough to put me off another date. I think there is potential for this to be a misunderstanding or a nice guy who is skinless. Another date should clarify if it was those things or if he is tight.’
