When Eric insisted on paying for our first date, I thought he was a true gentleman. He brought roses, a small gift, and displayed effortless charm. Set up by my best friend Mia, the date seemed near perfect—he was attentive, engaging, and seemed genuinely interested. When the check arrived, he insisted on paying, saying, “A man always pays on the first date.”
The next morning, I received a shocking text: an invoice for “charges” like a hug for the flowers and a second date as payment for dinner. It ended with a threat of collections.
I showed the invoice to Mia, who shared it with Chris. He mocked Eric’s expectations and sent the invoice back to him, sparking a series of angry texts from Eric, which I eventually blocked.
The only thing I kept was the keychain, as a funny souvenir of the weirdest date ever.
