Brutal Tinder date sparks backlash after woman gets mad about splitting bill

A man is sparking debate after exposing his Tinder date for getting mad over splitting the bill when he asked her out.

First dates can either go pretty good or horribly wrong – and as one man found out, asking to split the dinner bill can be a recipe for disaster.

We’ve seen all sorts of first date shenanigans over the years, especially with the advent of TikTok giving people more ways than ever to share their nightmare meetups, and ‘thewaterboy’ is no exception.

The TikToker often documents his bizarre dates on social media, but his latest Tinder match is going viral for all the wrong reasons when his date grew furious at the idea of having to split the bill… but some users are taking her side.

TikToker exposes Tinder date for not wanting to split bill

In a January 14 video, Water Boy and his date we dining in a restaurant when he filmed his date begrudgingly paying for half of the meal.

“Why are we splitting the bill?” the woman asked.

“Well, it’s our first date, so I thought we should maybe go half,” the TikToker replied.

After leaving the restaurant, the two continued their squabble on the car ride home, with the woman once again voicing her displeasure at being forced to pay for half.

According to Water Boy, his date had ordered an appetizer that he didn’t eat, and that’s why he wanted the bill split – but his date wasn’t having any of it.

“You asked me out!” she shot back, with their night coming to a close as she angrily exited the vehicle.

Shortly after being uploaded, users in the comments began to debate who was in the wrong, with many agreeing that the man should have paid for asking her out.

“I’m with her. You asked for the date… you pay!” one remarked.

“When I ask someone out, I plan on paying,” another chimed in.

In a follow-up video, Water Boy addressed the criticism, saying that he wasn’t forcing anyone to be with him and that she wants to be there just as much as he does, so they should split it evenly.

“This is not back in the day where women are the prize anymore,” he added. “If I’m on a date with a girl and she’s not willing to go half with me on a meal, are you that broke that you’re offended you have to split this bill?”

He further added that if he pays for one date, it will be expected from him throughout their whole relationship if they had one.

Needless to say, it doesn’t look like the two went on a second date or if the TikToker is considering Tinder’s new $499 plan to find a woman willing to go halfers.
