“Maybe you’re dealing with, ‘Damn, my wallet is at home,’ guy. No matter the reason, the result is that when the check comes and you tell him thank you, he asks for some kind of money from you… What to do? Pay it. There is no need to argue your stance on how men should do things. I don’t care if he sticks you with the entire bill or just the tip. Keep your cool and smile as you slide your card or cash in the fold. Internally, he has now committed suicide. RIP, because this dude is officially dead to you once you leave that restaurant. In the end, he revealed how much he values a woman like you.”
