Mia swore Eric was the perfect gentleman, and honestly, my first date with him seemed to prove her right. He showed up with roses, gave me a personalized keychain, opened doors, pulled out my chair, and insisted on paying for our fancy Italian dinner. By the end of the night, I thought I\u2019d met one of the most thoughtful men ever.<\/p>\n
The next morning, I woke up expecting a sweet text.<\/p>\n
Instead, Eric sent me a detailed \u201cDate Night Invoice.\u201d<\/p>\n
At first, I thought it was a joke. It wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
He had listed every \u201cservice\u201d from the date with what he expected in return:<\/p>\n
At the bottom, he warned that failure to \u201cpay\u201d might result in the balance being sent to \u201ccollections\u201d \u2014 meaning he\u2019d complain to our mutual friends.<\/p>\n
I was speechless.<\/p>\n
I immediately sent screenshots to Mia, who showed her boyfriend Chris. Instead of just laughing, Chris made a fake invoice of his own and sent it back to Eric, charging him for \u201cintroducing him to a gorgeous woman\u201d and demanding \u201ca lifetime of silence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eric completely lost it, accusing us of being immature and claiming I\u2019d missed out on a \u201cgreat guy.\u201d I simply blocked his number.<\/p>\n
The funniest part? I kept the keychain.<\/p>\n
Not because it reminded me of Eric, but because it became the perfect souvenir from the weirdest first date of my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
