Most people have had bad dates, and a lot of us have been rejected at some point in our lives.
Whereas most people usually decide to sweep bad memories under the carpet, this man decided to persist in claiming his money back for a coffee.
Lauren Crouch, of Islington, blogs about dating, and has recently shared her story about a man she went on a date with who demanded she paid him back for the coffee he bought her.

Says the woman, not the guy.
I call bull.
She made a good choice, the second time.
What a catch she missed out on!
The guy bought her a cuppa coffee on spec.
Money spent on spec, you don’t get back.
What happened to womens lib?
Why wasn’t she the one buying HIM coffee in the first place?
“You dont go on a date because youre going to meet your boyfriend or girlfriend, youre going to meet someone interesting”
Is that true, ladies? As a guy, I don’t ask out a girl I don’t know in the first place. Rejection is bad enough with an acquaintance. If a girl agreed to a date with me just to meet someone interesting, and I knew it, I’d feel like it was an interview for a job that probably doesn’t even exist. Would I be wrong to be put off by the whole thing?
I didn’t know Lazamataz visited England....
LOL!
No kidding. He’s a real charmer.
This woman “met” the guy online, so she didn’t know him. I think your scenario of traditional dating (asking out someone you’ve gotten to know) is taking the relationship in a new direction and would not fall into the category of going out just “to meet someone interesting.”
Okay. My only experience with online dating was actually with a girl I ‘met’ on FR. We conversed enough online, then by telephone, to know if there was a spark. Maybe that was atypical.
$5.33 for a cup of coffee? Was it in a plain red cup?
That's about $5.33.
That's an expensive cup of coffee.
He’s gonna go far in life....alone.
That may be inexpensive for the London metro area.
Doesn’t his logic suggest that she must either pay be enslaved to him?
“Hey Cutie, I’ll pay for dinner as long as you agree to continue dating me?”
He was ripped off. Highest price last May was £2.95 for a cappuccino or latte. No wonder she jilted him.

I've been married for nineteen years, but it was never the case for me. She's trying to sound all hip and modern with the "it's about meeting someone interesting." Admitting she's in it to fall in love with a man and marry wouldn't be the feminist thing to do.
