AUSTIN, TX (InsideEdition.com) — The man who claimed he was going to sue a woman for texting during their first date has opted to call it off.
Brandon Vezmar met Crystal Cruz on the online dating app Bumble. On Saturday, he took her to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at a movie theater in Austin, Texas.
He claimed she was texting through the movie and got fed up.
“Maybe you can take it outside,” he said he told her.
“She was behaving as if it was normal,” he told Inside Edition. “So much so, that I thought to myself, ‘who does this?’”
She said “I’ll be right back,” and never returned.
Cruz told Inside Edition the texts were from a friend who sent her three messages to make sure she was safe on the date.
Vezmar, who said he paid $17.31 for each ticket, contacted Cruz the next day demanding the money back.
“Crystal, your behavior Saturday was not only rude but it cost me money. I want you to compensate me for the $17 movie ticket. Will you do this or do I have to pursue the money in small claims court?” he texted her.
She called it “insane,” adding: “I’m not paying you back for the movie!!”
“I laughed it off,” she told Inside Edition. “I didn’t think it would come to this.”
He filed the incident in small claims court saying it cost him $17.31, calling texting habit “a threat to civilized society.”
Inside Edition brought the feuding duo back to the movie theater where their ill-fated date took place in an attempt to work things out.
“The date just didn’t work out,” she told him during the reunion.
She also apologized and handed him money, asking him to “just leave this alone.”
Vezmar accepted her apology and said he will withdraw his suit.
Good grief!Man up and get over it you beta drama queen.
Welp, I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers...
If this were the 3rd grade it would be a sure sign that he likes her.
Sounds like they are both emotionally in third grade territory.
First date. Takes her to a guy flick. He’ll be single for awhile.
I dunno, I think love means you work the small stuff out.
It is a sign of the times; a generation raised on social media and lacking the basic skills of face-to-face human interaction.
so many American men are just frilly little idiots....its surprising he didn’t bring his mommy along to protect him...
Seriously? Eeek.
Bad manners too.
I think he’s already 37.
That singleness may well be permanent by now.
yeah...After his little fiasco here, he’ll probably have a hard time getting another date....
Unless it might be with a girl who figures out a way to sue his butt for something...
Karma can be a b*tch, you know....
Beta males take her side
Your comment made me laugh. Bring Mom as a Chaperone for a 37 y/o man. It’s always good for us men to know how we appear to the women. No one comes off of this with much dignity intact. He looks kind of petty, like a big baby, who ran to the public forum about a matter of her personal choice.
She looks like someone very much self absorbed and with bad manners. The guy looks a little worse though, because he let his pride in this small matter get his goat.
All in all, very entertaining for the public, sort of like
an episode from ‘The (permanent) Batchelor’.
If I were young, I don’t think I’d even try to date. The men are losers. The women are losers. It just seems like a bad idea.
Guardians of the Galaxy...sounds like a movie a 12-year-old would go see.
She showed no respect. She owed him that. And she didn’t put out. She’s lucky she didn’t get cuffed around a bit
Too bad he doesn’t realize that his real problem isn’t just being out $17.
So will she. She didn’t put out either.
