To think this guy leaving me money is so strange?

Was out last night and met a guy, brought him home and had a one night stand. Had a good night and he left this morning, I then went to work. When I got home I noticed there is a twenty pound note on the side he was 'sleeping'. He obviously does not think I'm a prostitute but why in the hell would he leave that?

AIBU to think this is very very strange?

I tend to differ here as I don’t think he thought OP was a prostitute.

I haven’t read every single post I’ll be honest but could the £20 be for

  1. Taxi/Uber fare that OP paid for? 2). A takeaway on the way home that only takes cards?
  2. Maybe a round of drinks that was his round but OP paid for? 4). And finally maybe they stopped off at a off licence or 24 hour shop to buy a bottle of wine and it only took cards and OP paid and the guy felt he wanted to pay for it so left the £20 .

It’s definitely NOT for sex .

He just left it by accident.

@OuiOuiBonjour,

Lol thank God for that 🤣

I will do now.
I knew there had to be a reasonable explanation.

Thanks

@SecretKeeper1

Look, even if his response is “it’s all you were worth you slaaaag” at least OP can buy a bottle of gin and drown her sorrows / laugh at the audacity. She’s still up £20 and a damn good shag.

@WeepingWinnie

Grandma, is that you? Get off the internet. We've talked about this, times have changed. Its not nice to be so judgemental about perfectly nice people that are just having a bit of fun.

LST · 27/09/2021 23:49

Then you'd be wrong and made yourself look like a fool at the same time. Well done. RTFT

FortunesFave · 27/09/2021 23:54

Although I did once have a fling where he loved it if I bossed him about, he paid for everything and then I'd sternly demand 50 quid for a taxi the next morning. We both knew the game though so it was sweet/ funny.

Lol that's a fetish...not particularly sweet or funny!

LinoVentura · 28/09/2021 00:24

It could be an honesty test i.e. if you get in touch to tell him about the money he knows you're relationship material and not just good sex. (Well, you've been without for 2 years so extremely good sex might be more accurate. I need to meet a woman in this condition.)

BathMatToe · 28/09/2021 01:37

He's not going to admit to leaving it as a disrespectful joke afterwards is he?
So he might have left it there still drunk thinking what a funny guy.
Then he gets a text asking if he wants his money back.
He's not gonna say, 'oh yeah. That was my funny joke for last night...'

Slightly off topic, but why would anyone, ever, have a ONS?

"For the occasional £20 that's left on the bedside table. 😉"

🤣🤣👍

Hopeisnotastrategy · 28/09/2021 04:58

@Pedalpushers

Seriously, I know several girls this has happened to and guys who have done it. A 20 pound note on the nightstand is standard code for 'just in case you need MAP'.
I'm so glad I'm out of the dating game nowadays 🤣🤣🤣

Wanders off, feeling old....

fournonblondes · 28/09/2021 08:08

Glad you asked him. This reply hopefully teaches a lesson to the nasty pieces in this thread. Some of them should seek help tbh.

DahliaBlue · 28/09/2021 08:41

Take what he has replied at face value.

However I think it might have been his clumsy way of saying thank you for a great night. Equivalent of a small present like a box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers.

I don't for one minute think it was an insult or that he thought OP was a prostitute.

When he got the text, he realised his "gesture" might have been taken the wrong way. Hence his reply.

Don't feel bad about it in any way OP.

Awayfromhome448 · 28/09/2021 09:14

It could have been left by mistake, I wouldn't read too much into it! He's probably just forgetful.

Awayfromhome448 · 28/09/2021 09:15

*sorry just read updates

This. He absolutely didn't leave £20 on the nightstand on his side of the bed, by accident. Under the bed, sure. Placed on the nightstand, when he's got nothing else with him? Sorry, no.

Kiduknot · 28/09/2021 09:18

You could always text him again and ask if he fancies a fwb relationship. No strings. Why else would he bother giving you his number?

Lucrative though Grin
Egghead68 · 28/09/2021 09:22

I never find £20 notes fall out of my wallet and onto night-stands.

CounsellorTroi · 28/09/2021 09:29

I have to admit, when I saw the thread title I thought some random guy had mentioned you in his will.

CrumpleHornedSnowcack · 28/09/2021 09:35

maybe he broke something & left you what he thought it was worth to replace it

trevthecat · 28/09/2021 09:39

I've a few mates in the army who used to do this. It was a sick joke. Fortunately they have grown out of it

Violet869 · 28/09/2021 09:42

Sounds great to me OP. You had a good shag after two years and you are £20 richer 🙂

Grellbunt · 28/09/2021 09:47

@Theendoftheworldisnigh

I've done a search and apparently prostitutes earn about £30K a year, based on working 10 hours a week,
Because supply is currently restricted

If everyone did it the prices would come down massively
