Man asks woman to reimburse him for dates after she lied about having a kid
A man has recalled how he asked a woman to reimburse him for a date after she deceived him about her status as a parent.
The man took to Reddit to share the story on the Am I The A**hole? subreddit and explained that they met through mutual friends and began messaging each other.
He wrote: “During the conversation, I asked if she had any kids and she said no. Perfect. Because I don’t date single mums. I’ve had issues with it in the past and it’s just not something I’m comfortable doing anymore. I told her this and she said she understood.”
The two then went on several dates together, which the man described as being a "good time."
“We have a good vibe together and laugh a lot,” he continued. “Morgan asked me on the first date to top golf. And ever since we’ve been making mutual plans to meet.”
However, things took a swift turn when the Redditor searched Morgan up on Facebook, with the intention of adding her as he saw the relationship "going somewhere".
He said: “I was in shock. She had a kid on her profile. I thought maybe it was a nephew. But kept scrolling and found more pics. Definitely her kid. So I texted and asked she if she had a kid. She said ‘why are you asking’. I told her about the Facebook.
“She then admitted to having a kid. She said she didn’t like to bring him up until she knew she could trust a guy. And that she’s at the point now where she trusts me.
“But I said that is BS because she knew my stance on dating single mums. And I felt like my time has been wasted. And that I would be venmo requesting money for the tickets we bought together for an upcoming country concert.
“So we live in a city. And in total the five dates prolly cost me $400 dollars. I wasn’t gonna Venmo request her for all the dates as I make good money and didn’t feel the need to do that.
“But I did Venmo request her for one of the tickets and $50 for the dates. Around $100 total. I guess Morgan told my friend's girlfriend because she texted me saying that I’m being an AH.
“My friend is defending me saying that I shouldn’t have been lied to. And paying $100 is nothing compared to the hundreds I spent on dates. And she still has the ticket.”
The man also stated his reason for not wanting to date women with kids, saying: "single mums just don’t have the flexibility and time". He added: "It’s just not the lifestyle I want."
He finished by asking "am I the a**hole?"
