After years of dedicating myself to my career, a friend decided to play matchmaker and set me up with Alex. Our initial conversations left me impressed – he seemed kind, attractive, and intelligent, with a great sense of humor. But our first dinner date took an unexpected turn when the bill arrived.
The dinner was at his favorite childhood restaurant, and I was willing to split the $400 bill. However, Alex insisted on covering the entire cost. But his generosity quickly turned sour when he made a shocking comment, suggesting I use my savings for breast surgery. I was taken aback, but I composed myself and responded, pointing out the audacity of his comment and recommending a “brain-increasing” procedure for him. I then walked out, leaving $200 on the table.
It wasn’t until later that I discovered Alex had been banned from the entire restaurant chain due to his behavior. The waiter had connections, and Alex’s attempts to justify his comment and even get me fired revealed his true nature. The experience taught me to stand up for myself and not tolerate disrespect. Despite this, I remain open to dating, knowing that not all men share Alex’s demeanor. The incident highlighted the importance of treating others with respect, and Alex faced the consequences of his actions.
