I invited her on a date and left her there to pay for what she’d eaten. It was our first date after talking on the phone for over four months. She was part of a WhatsApp group I was part of. We didn’t say much to each other until we finally met at a program. I thought she was fine and she gave me a receptive vibe, so I decided to try my luck.

On the phone she was very bubbly. She responded to chats quickly and was the first to send a meme or bring gossip from the group for us to discuss. I asked for a date on several occasions until she finally agreed to meet me, but only if I would meet her at a restaurant close to her place.

I agreed, and that night we met. She was almost an hour late, but I didn’t complain. Immediately after she sat down and we exchanged pleasantries, she picked up her phone and started snapping photos. She even gave me her phone to snap her, which I did happily.

She wouldn’t put her phone down so we could talk. She was typing here and scrolling there until I complained, “You really are addicted to your phone.” She smiled and put it down. A few seconds later, there was a notification. She said, “I’m sorry, give me a few minutes.”

She spent over ten minutes replying to texts before she placed her phone down again. It was like that from that moment onward: “Sorry, let me answer this,” or “Sorry, this is the last time.”

When the food was coming, this girl got up and started videoing the waiter until he placed the food down. She sat down and started taking photos and videos of the food from different angles. She was so busy, as if her life depended on the photos.

I started eating long before she put a spoon in her food. I was looking at her. She even had the time to video call a friend to see what she was eating. Immediately after I finished eating, I paid for my food and told her, “It’s obvious you didn’t come because of me. Let’s meet another time.”

I got her attention right there. She said, “You’re leaving me here? Are you not the one who invited me here?” I answered, “Oh, I did? You’re very sure that I invited you here?” She responded, “I’m sorry, but we can talk about this instead of leaving me here.”

I walked away while she sat looking at me. She even directed the waiter to get his money from me, and the waiter said I’d paid for mine. Maybe she paid for herself, or she called friends to contribute to pay for her. The next thing I knew, she was on the WhatsApp page calling me an uncivilized person and someone who doesn’t have courtesy. She said I would be abusive, looking at how I treated her.

Is There A Man Out There Who Doesn’t Cheat?

I narrated my side of the story and the page was split into two. Most guys agreed with me. Most ladies, on the other hand, said I was too harsh. Honestly, I don’t regret my actions. It’s about time young ladies learned how to pay attention to the one in front of them instead of bringing the world with them on a date.
