Did you take her home, to have sex with her.
Nah… 😂😂😂 I ain’t that evil-minded!

I didn't even collect her number. When I decide to help, I do it with no strings attached, no conditions, and no need for future remembrance.

If I were actually attracted to her, I would have told her straight up—I don't disguise my feelings. She was definitely pretty, but to be honest, she wasn't really my spec.

He was a wallet to her.

Pele. Almost all men experience this.

DyshApp:
A man has taken to X (Twitter) to share a costly and disappointing first-date experience, revealing that he spent over ₦100,000 on food and transportation only for the relationship to fizzle out immediately afterward.

In his post, he explained that he went on a first date where he spent ₦109,000 on food and an additional ₦18,000 on a Bolt ride.

Despite the grand gesture, the connection didn’t last.

He recounted some of the frustrations from the date, saying that they first ordered food worth ₦90,000, which they couldn’t finish.

Only for her to order more stuff, then pack the whole food, the leftovers, and the newly ordered ones home, without asking if he cared for any.

Reflecting on the experience, he advised caution for future dates, promising never to involve himself in such again.

He concluded his post with a blunt takeaway, saying he thinks he’s better off alone because he’s tired of meeting ‘funny’ people.

The post has since resonated with many online, sparking conversations about first dates, expectations, and the modern dating experience.

His tweet read;

“Went on a first date two weeks ago. Food 109k, bolt 18k. Now we aren’t talking anymore. Learned to never do that again. If you aren’t going on a walk or to a restaurant I recommend, and you recommend more expensive ones, I’ll ghost from there.

First ordered food of 90k, which we couldn’t finish. Only for her to order other stuff. Then they packed the rest of the food, and she took it all without asking if I cared for any. ngl I’m better off alone. Tired of meeting funny people.“

He is most definitely better off alone if he thinks his grand gesture— not his personality and character, but just a bunch of performative acts — is what it should take to win him the heart of the woman. 🥱🥱🥱

2. Why in the world would you order so much food when you are only out on a date with someone, and you know you are not rich enough to not care about it? You were obviously trying to lie your way into that woman's heart. And here you want us to believe you are some sort of victim when, instead, you are just a scammer who got had! undecided

3. Please remain single until you:
➜ learn to cut your coat according to your size. Stop trying to lie or scam your way into getting women whose preferences you cannot afford to date you. That is FRAUDULENT.
➜ learn that gestures alone do not win over quality women; a combination of maybe performative gestures— I say maybe because some women don't even appreciate such gestures—, quality character, and personality would. undecided
➜ realize that your mental, emotional, and social intelligence are the best weapons you can have, both in life and relationships

Why will you even spend up to 100k for a date you know might not work out Nigerians are always forgetting to sew their coat according to their pocket everybody wants to chill with the big boys
some of you think they ordered heaven and earth. if you check very well, they probably dined in one of these pricey island restaurant where a plate of food could go for as high as 30k, not to talk of the price of a cocktail drink.

100k spent in one of those island rooftop lounges won’t get you much compared to 100k spent in a mainland restaurant.

Being happily married to a loyal woman (SPDAZZY) for 10 years and I will always count my marriage a blessing from God.

Never being insensitive to her demands but has proven to be Godly, virtuous, loving wife and mother, something now quite rear about this generation of women.

Our commitment is for happily ever after!

By the way, she’s also very brilliantly and only recently became a phd holder from a UK top university.
I envy you bro. God has really blessed you

Why does he want her to ask him if he cares to carry the left overs......
You dey form cool guy man.
I just wonder what manner of impressions some guys give to ladies...

You just order food in one full swoop that you don't eat......it seems like you pick money....

SpencerForbes:
Why would you let a lady dictate the tempo of the date? As a man, you are supposed to be the one leading, not the other way around. I make it a rule to take women to places I am familiar with—my 'home turf'—rather than places they demand.

Also, my Nigerian ladies, please normalize ordering only what you can afford! It is embarrassing to be stranded. I recently had to clear a bill for a lady’s catfish and drinks because the guy she went on a date with ran away and left her there.
went on a date , this lady was ordering food and wine wey pass my pocket 😂 na so I tell her jejely that I hv a budget.. that’s how she changed towards me say i dey embarrass her lass lass she ask me to go drop her off . And she don first other a 35K food I told the waitress to pack it for her, we got to her place she left the car , I called her back to come pick her food she no answer 😂 na so I reach house balance with ac couldn’t finish the food sef, in the morning I microwave the remaining

Anyone billing you more than what a single meal should cost is a sign that the person has not tested the food before and has been dreaming for God knows when , how she will eat such...

But the guy is not clever, if she finish packing, divide it into two and carry your own... because the person you met is not classy na your fellow huzzler..

Grand gestures should be reserved for when the relationship is serious.

Grand gestures on the first date shows you do not have value for your money.
Re: “i’m Better Off Alone” – Man Says After Spending Over 100K On A Date by Nazgul: 5:10pm On Nov 24, 2025
One practical way to understand a girl's intentions when planning a date is to suggest a simple, reasonably priced restaurant first. If she immediately rejects an affordable place and insists on a much more expensive spot, without offering to cover her own bill, it's clearly a sign that she's more interested in the cost of the outing than the actual connection.

It’s usually better to walk away from situations like that. Anyone who genuinely wants to meet you won’t make the location about your wallet.

how much do you pay daily for it, no relationship is free, as a man you are always paying for it. Stop paying and see what will happen

Where you guys should take the lead, you wouldn't.

First, it is a first date. For a serious minded young man looking for a wife, you should look for dates where you can be yourselves and you interact a lot. Fine dining to too excessive for a first date.

Second, you are the man, you are the one spending, you CHOOSE the restaurant. If she is not comfy being with you alone at a place of your choice, she sponsors her friends codedly to tail you guys.

Third, you tell her the budget and/or order things within your budget. You can give her choices within your budget. Do you want stir fry pasta or native jollof rice? Etc etc.

In my day, Babes had dignity and shame. Most would even prefer to allow you to order for them but I guess that was very very long ago...

I remember my then girl would write down everything I ever got her...when I asked why she said her momma taught her to keep track so she could always say "NO" where necessary and refund.
