A girl shared her displeasure at going out on a date with a guy who was trying to save money and having to pay for herself for the date.
Here is the story:
“Thought I would jump on the bandwagon of recent posts talking about dates/dating.
A few months ago I met up with a guy from a dating app to watch SS2 then have dinner. “Shall we get popcorn?” I said, to which he replied, “Oh I got it already while waiting for you just now,” patting his bag, so we just went Dutch on the tickets.
When we found our seats, he unzipped his bag and exclaimed “Tada!”, pulling out a pack of popcorn with NTUC PACKAGING. Oooookay that’s new, I thought to myself, while he grinned, “Smart right? So much cheaper and so much more popcorn. Value for money.”
But that was not all. The next horror he pulled out of his bag was a HERBAL DRINK. “Popcorn very heaty, must drink this,” he said, not forgetting to add, “$1.50 only sia, value for money.”
At this point I just wanted to watch the movie then go home, but Mr. Value-for-Money had other ideas. About 15 min in, he whispered, “Er can you eat at the same speed as me? I notice you have eaten much more than me.” I did not take another popcorn after that.
After the movie, I faked a reason to skip dinner, but he said, “How about ice-cream? Then we can chat for a while.”
I reluctantly agreed in order to be polite, then fml-i-should-have-seen-this-coming he led me to MCDONALD’S. Forcing myself to say thank you as he happily handed me the “value-for-money” 70-cents ice-cream, he said, “Welcome! You can paylah me later together with the popcorn and drink. I’ll calculate and text you the amount.”
This date was not value for money.”
Editor’s note: I guess the guy dodged a bullet, YOU are not value for money.
