China woman stunned when date wants bill split down to number of slices of meat she had
- To make matters worse, man complains about date to her mother afterwards
A woman said online that her recent blind date proposed splitting the dinner bill based on the number of meat slices each ate during a hotpot meal, sparking a widespread conversation about the state of modern dating in China.
The woman, who was not identified, shared on a recent Xiaohongshu post that, after the meal, which ended at around 11pm, her date proposed that the two go out for a drink. The woman, feeling it was too late, denied the invitation.
She said the man’s demeanour changed after she refused the request to go out drinking, and he said: “You’re not one of those gold diggers who expects the man to pay on the first date, are you?”
In response, the woman suggested they split the bill and called the waiter to calculate their cheque.
According to the receipt she shared, the meal cost 300 yuan (US$40), and the duo had marked on the cheque with a pen which party should pay for what.
