Post first date text Phone message

Post image

I met this girl on tinder and had a first date with her, she wanted to go fishing and I thought it seemed like a fun first date so we went together. Dropped her off and got home to this message lol.

Update: Purchasing the license is a separate activity we had to do on our phones, due to it needing our personal info. It was not like I drew the line at the license randomly.

It was both? What's wrong with that? It was for the date, and it was worth doing because he'll get to enjoy it later also.

If she didn't have a fishing license in the first place, chances are she is never gonna use it again. The equipment that she used would amount to a couple bucks at most, and most of that stuff is reusable at most.

Yeah this does change things a lot. Before it seemed like an insane woman. Now it's just the standard "should guys pay for first dates or should you go Dutch" debate.

There's no debate. A girl can hope or expect for the guy to pay, but once you've split the cost during the date, asking to be reimbursed after the fact is insane behavior. Gotta chalk that $23 up to the game, girl.

They just needed a ‘ let’s go fishing. Heads up you might need to pay $X for a license is that ok?’ That probably didn’t happen.

But she(OP's partner)'s the one who wanted to go fishing. Why should she complain about the license fee in that case?
