Sorry guys. I broke my own rule, I paid for the first date.

The justification in my mind is that she did put effort into trying to talk with me when I was totally sick. Always messaged first, initiated talking topics which I fuckin love. Waited almost 4 weeks until our date, which is really impressive. So in a way it makes sense, but it still doesn't change the fact.

I feel like I had to say it before the date itself. Do you think it would've been better?
