When her brother sets her up with a seemingly perfect gentleman, she reluctantly agrees to one date. Andy seems charming — flowers, manners, thoughtful conversation, and even driving her home like a true gentleman.
For the first time in months, she feels safe and hopeful.
But the next morning, everything changes.
At 7:13 a.m., she receives a PayPal request from Andy — an itemized bill for the date. Gas, parking, car depreciation, and even a “cleaning fee” totaled $37.25.
Shocked, she sent him $50 with the note: “$13 tip for opening my door,” then blocked him immediately.
Later, her brother revealed Andy had bragged about the date to his pickleball group before everyone saw the screenshots. When Andy defended himself by saying “chivalry doesn’t pay for itself,” the group voted him out.
Days later, she discovered other women online sharing similar “date invoices” from the same guy. What first seemed like the perfect date turned into one of the funniest dating disasters she’d ever experienced — and a reminder to always trust her instincts.
