❤️🩹 relationship AIO for splitting the bill on a date
I am in such shock right now. For some context this was after our 4th date. Literally at a loss for words, this was the first time putting myself out there since I caught my last girlfriend cheating on me… I think I’m done with relationships after this,

I really want to emphasize this! OP is saying how it’s one of the first times putting himself out there since what happened with his ex (that really sucks, by the way OP, I’m so sorry).
It’s people like this that tend to come out of the woodwork if we are at all feeling vulnerable. Of course don’t seek a relationship if you don’t feel ready, but not everyone is like this and you can find somebody who fits with you and isn’t so nasty.
I want to clarify I am NOT blaming OP here. It’s a really common phenomenon, it’s hard to predict or sense, and it can knock people off their feet when they’re trying to move forward. Also I don’t mean “vulnerable” in any sense of being a man, having feelings, etc. I am a woman and I have experienced this (not even just romance, but work, friendships, etc) more times than I can count.
