Dating invoice

[C1N1C]

So couple met for a first date and the man was rejected.

He then invoices the woman for the cost of her share of the date.

Thoughts? :)

Is this unreasonable? Let's assume no specific person was named as the inviter nor the payer before the date was suggested.

They should have split to start with. £29 is a lot and the woman sounds blase in the article "Come on man" about the cost. It is somewhat ungallant/uncouth/poor etiquette to pay the bill then renege...but we do not know what was said. We weren't there. Maybe he said, "I'll get this one. You get the next." That would change the situation, if she then said - after the fact - "there won't be a next time."
If he paid to impress her, then got churlish after she was not interested , that's on him. There are people out there, however, I'm sure, of both genders,
just after a free meal?

She should pay her way, especially if she has no intention of seeing him again.

Can’t invoice if there was no contract in place. Depends what was said at the time, but if he paid without imposing conditions then he’s got no recourse.

He’s petty as hell.
Lucky escape for her!

If he wanted to split the bill he should have done that at the time. Wanting his money back because he didn't get what he wanted (another date) is childish.

His bid to spend more time with her was unsuccessful. I wonder why?

I think it was tacky of her not to pay her way knowing she had no intention of a second date. Really poor behaviour. Pretty classless of him also, but I imagine it’s not the first time he’s been stung.

They should have split the bill but if he insisted on paying, to invoice after the fact is weird and tight as fuck. She dodged a bullet.

First date? The bill should have been split at the time. No one, man or woman, should be paying the entire bill so early on.

I've seen this girls tiktok videos about this date. She has said did actually offer several times during the date to split the bill. She didn't want a second date with him, that's when he became verbally abusive and invoiced her.

It seems like he views the money he spends on dating to be a payment in exchange for sex. He didn't get sex, so he believes he is owed financial recompense. Gross.

Separately, I think it's pretty off to accept someone covering your portion of the bill when you know you're not intending to see them again and there won't be an opportunity for you to return the favour. Very poor manners. I can see that if he was very insistent she may not wanted to have had that discussion there and then, and accepting his offer to pay may have just been to minimise fuss.

So paying was a form of control.
