Whether the man should generally cover the bill for food or drinks on a date is a much-discussed question. But with a woman like the user “EquanaB” on TikTok, every gentleman of the old school would probably doubt his principles.
The young woman from the US state of Georgia told the story in a clip on the video app: She met a man in a restaurant specializing in seafood in Atlanta. It was the two’s first date. And apparently Equana decided to really let it rip: she ordered a total of four portions, each with a dozen oysters. At a pretty hefty price – a portion cost $15.
“When I ordered the fourth portion, he looked at me crazy,” she says in the video, which has now been viewed more than five million times on TikTok. “But I wasn’t interested in that.” Her succinct explanation: “If you invite me, I will eat.” Not only did she eat the 48 oysters, the young woman also ordered other dishes and drinks from the menu. The person opposite, however, only ordered a glass of wine.
At some point it became too much for the man: he chose the classic exit for failed dates. He never returned from a supposed visit to the toilet. He clearly had no desire to foot the bill. This ultimately amounted to more than 180 dollars (the equivalent of 170 euros) – the TikTok user was stuck with the sum. Many other users on the platform believe that this is a just punishment for their outrageous behavior.
It seems obvious that the first date should not be followed by another. At least the two were still in touch afterwards, as can be seen in the video: The refugee offered to at least take over the drinks.
