Traditionally, in our society, men were the ones who paid the bill on a date with a woman. However, currently this tradition has been modified in many relationships. With that, through a publication on Reddit, a man asks if he is wrong in wanting to share the bill for a date in which he chose the restaurant.

In the past, the man had the role of inviting women to meetings and, therefore, assumed the expenses. However, given the changes that have occurred in our society regarding these issues, this no longer happens as a rule or tradition.
An example of this is the guy who made a post on Reddit asking if he was wrong in wanting to share the account of the first date he had with a woman he matched on Tinder.
The meeting at the restaurant
In the publication, the boy claims that at the time they marked the first date, the woman did not know what to choose, so he chose the restaurant and forwarded the menu to ask if she would accept it or not.
Her response would have been positive and the meeting went as smoothly as possible until it came time to pay the bill.
The boy says that despite the fact that sharing the bill was never part of the conversation, he imagined that because she had accepted and placed the order, she would be able to pay for what she would have consumed. However, for her, since he would have invited her, he would bankroll the date.
He claims that he knew the restaurant was expensive and he would have suggested it himself, however, he did not imagine that she would accept the date even without being able to pay for her own consumption.
He suggests splitting the bill and the date is spoiled.
When paying the bill, the boy says that he asked her how the payment would be and is surprised by the answer that she only earned a minimum wage and was unable to share the amount.
He says he was quite annoyed, but ended up paying the entire bill.
The man complements by saying that she sent a message after the meeting saying she was very embarrassed by the situation, and so, he decided to apologize, but defending himself that he didn't imagine that she couldn't pay for something that she herself would have chosen.
After the messages, the woman ended up blocking him and, therefore, he decided to publish the story to ask if he was really wrong.
Answer received
The first comment on the post read:
“You shouldn't assume you'd split the bill. She shouldn't have assumed you would pay. I'm speaking as a woman here, if I ask someone out I would assume I'm paying for everything. For a first date, I would just go somewhere not expensive.”
