Hi Reddit, I’m a 32 year old woman who recently met a 33 year old man through online dating. We hit it off and have been on three dates so far. I have no qualms paying for myself so the first date we went on was a coffee date, and we split the bill.
The second date was more of a walk through the park where there are stalls that sell coffee and lemonade. He offered to pay for those even after I insisted that I would pay my share. He said it’s fine.
On the third date, which was a couple of days ago, he invited me to the movies to cheer me up, after I had fallen severely ill. I was overjoyed to be spending time with him again, but that got shattered when he, in front of the cashier (is that the right word?) said that it’s my turn to pay next time. I felt humiliated and belittled, but didn’t want to make a scene.
I haven’t said anything to him yet because I’m trying to find the right words to express my disappointment.
So, wise people of reddit, is my date frugal and am I overreacting to the incident?
(Just an FYI, all three dates took plac across the span of roughly two months, but we’ve been consistently texting and playing online games together- we are both gamers)
