A woman shared her dating experience on Reddit after she blocked a man following their first date, feeling that he had crossed personal boundaries and tested her financial independence. She was looking for confirmation from the online community about whether her decision was justified.When the man initially asked her out, she didn’t have a specific restaurant in mind. However, when he asked about her favorite place to dine, she mentioned a high-end restaurant, while making it clear that it was an expensive option. She even suggested a more affordable Mexican restaurant as an alternative. The average meal at her favorite place could cost around $500.

Despite the price, the man chose the expensive restaurant, eager to try it. For the woman, dining at such places was reserved for special occasions, and she generally preferred more casual settings for first dates. Her primary interest was getting to know the person rather than indulging in a luxurious meal.On the night of the date, they ordered appetizers, entrees, drinks, and even dessert, enjoying each other’s company. Aware of the steep cost, she offered to split the bill, hesitating slightly as she did so, knowing he had insisted on going to the expensive restaurant. She explained that she was unsure whether he would cover the entire cost, but he quickly agreed to her offer.When the server brought separate checks, both placed their cards on the table. At the last moment, the man grabbed her card and insisted on paying for both. He then remarked, “Oh, now I finally know your last name,” as he glanced at her card. This comment made the woman uneasy.Many Reddit users sided with her, agreeing that she had every right to cut off contact with someone who made her feel uncomfortable. Some, however, thought she might have overreacted, with one commenter suggesting, “I highly doubt someone would spend $500+ and waste an entire evening just to memorize your card numbe
