Woman Blocks Man Following Their 1st Date in Which He Paid for Their $500+ Dinner

After a first date at an expensive restaurant, a woman blocked a man for violating her privacy and testing her financial boundaries. She had been upfront about her favorite, pricey spot, but suggested a more affordable option, which he ignored. During the meal, they both offered to split the $500 bill, but when the man took her card and commented on her last name, she felt uncomfortable. As a bartender, she was cautious about the potential for fraud. She also suspected he was trying to test if she’d pay half, making her feel like he was checking for “gold-digging” behavior. Afterward, she blocked him and posted her experience on Reddit, seeking validation. Most commenters supported her decision, though a few thought she was overreacting or should have paid her share first.
