Its quite a common topic to discuss who should pay for dinner on a date.
There are many different opinions and Im not sure if there is only one which is right.
But what to do in a situation when people are just casually dating?
This is the situation one Reddit user found himself in.
He was invited to dinner by a woman who hes casually dating and he refused to cover her bill.
She called him a jerk, meanwhile he doesnt think he did something wrong.
He adds that before they paid for themselves when they were eating with friends.
But as it turned out now she expected him to pay for her very expensive dinner.
So, back to the whole situation.
Community members gave the author the Not the A-hole badge and discussed the whole situation.
Why do you think she invited you???
She wanted you to pay…If you asked her out, it would be expected that you pay.
She clearly invited you out to flex that her dinner would be paid for and it didnt work.
Youre no AH and youre no fool, another added.
Given the situation, Lisa did invite him out, and it wasnt the other way around.
She adds that while its nice to have someone be chivalrous, it isnt a requirement for anyone.
Her disappointment is valid, but he may not be that invested in their relationship.
Also, even if its not very kind, its okay for him to create these boundaries.
Some people are fine splitting the bill and, in fact, want to pay for themselves.
Redditors backed the man and agreed that he did the right thing
