Going dutch on a first date?! Yeah, this recently happened to me. Date was going great, until the bill came! My date and I both reached for the bill, he grabbed it first, opened it, and said, "Ok, $40 each." I said, "What?" He replies back, "Yeah, I always go dutch on my first date because you don't know if you'll see that person again." I immediately thought to myself, "this guy doesn't get many 2nd dates!" I mean, I don't mind picking up the bill when on a date. Dutch is for friends and coworkers out to lunch on Fridays!
