“I didn’t like…” — Lady shares dating experience with man who expected her to split bill

A lady has sparked online conversation after sharing her dating experience, revealing how she handled what she described as a subtle attempt to make her feel insecure.

In a post that has gained attention across social media platforms, she recounted how a seemingly normal first date quickly turned into an exchange she chose not to entertain.

Date Ends With Unexpected Message

According to her, the situation began when the man sent a text shortly after their outing.

“I once got a text from a guy saying that he enjoyed our date but didn’t think we should see each other again and I replied with ‘No problem, thanks for letting me know’,” she wrote.

However, the exchange did not end there.

She said he messaged again 20 minutes later, stating, “I thought you might like to know why.” She chose not to respond.

Three-Paragraph Explanation

The man later followed up with a lengthy message explaining his reasoning.

She said he described her as his “dream girl” but expressed disappointment that she did not offer to split the bill during their date. Although he had intended to pay, he claimed he felt she simply expected him to cover the cost.

Despite the detailed explanation, she maintained her silence.

“I still didn’t reply, I wasn’t interested in playing this game,” she stated.

More Messages Follow

In the days that followed, she said he continued reaching out, sending multiple messages.

According to her, he told her he would be happy to give her another chance and insisted he believed they had genuinely connected.

Again, she did not respond.

She explained that while the date itself was fine and she “would have likely gone on another,” she was not interested in what she viewed as a tactic to create insecurity.

“Trying to keep women insecure to see if they anxiously attach to you is a fools game that I wasn’t interested in playing,” she wrote.

A Message on Self-Worth

The woman concluded her post with a reflection on value and expectations in dating.

“I hope he’s since learned that women who know how much value they bring aren’t going to grovel and apologize for expecting value to be returned.”
