Disclaimer: I have no interest in wrecking other people’s relationships and only found out later on that the scrote had a girlfriend

Remember that the bar is in hell but it goes to show that dinner is the bare MINIMUM. The standard. Never ever accept a coffee date, walking date, or equally cheap/free, low effort date.

If a cashier at Shake Shack can throw in a random ice cream for free, the guy who I later found out was cheating on his gf, was insisting on me ordering whatever I like on his dime, and the guy who works in prn took me out to drinks (I actually don’t drink alcohol but it was my idea to hang out at the pub and he didn’t even order anything with alcohol either out of respect for me) AND he also brought me to an expensive restaurant afterwards—all initiated by the men themselves, then that scrote from Hinge can ask you to dinner. The prn man was actually from Tinder (!) He seemed like a good guy despite his career but I’ll never know if he’s consistently so because I didn’t stick around long enough (I somewhat ghosted him)

On top of that, the cashier at Shake Shack was obviously not a date. He was a stranger and exuded excellent customer service skills and even he was able to go out of his way to throw something in for free.

If bad men can take you out to dinner, what does that say about the seemingly sweet, seemingly shy guy who can’t even bother?

(I’m also here to attest that OLD is a massive time waster and I am super thankful I do not have an addiction to those apps. I also deleted all the apps the other day thanks to FDS!)
