Eric seemed like a perfect gentleman on our first date—roses, a thoughtful gift, and great conversation. But the next morning, he sent me an unexpected message: an invoice for the date, itemizing “services” like the flowers, gift, and even opening my car door, with charges for things like hugs and compliments. The invoice demanded full payment, threatening collections if I didn’t comply,
Shocked, I shared it with my friend Mia, who was just as baffled. Her boyfriend, Chris, was equally stunned but decided to retaliate by creating a hilarious fake invoice listing absurd charges for Eric’s behavior, like “Convincing Her You Were a Gentleman” and “A Lifetime of Silence.”Eric quickly became enraged, but I blocked him without engaging further. Mia apologized, but we all agreed it was a great story for the future. The experience taught me to be cautious about men who insist on paying for everything—especially if they expect something in return. The keychain he gave me? I kept it as a funny reminder of the weirdest date of my life.
