Woman shares heated text exchange with man after he didn't pay for her coffee on their first date

A woman has sparked a debate online after sharing a heated text exchange with a man who refused to pay for her coffee on a date.

It feels like the argument of who should pay on a date will never have a conclusion.

Some believe that it should be split 50/50, while others think that whoever instigated the date should be the one picking up the check.

Of course, some believe that men should always pay while others laugh this idea away.

In short, there are no clear guidelines for how these interactions should go down, which can sometimes lead to awkward situations.

Like this one...

Khristina, a TikTok creator with over 14 million likes and a smaller following on Instagram shared her take on dating standards and what she won’t accept in her relationships.

The viral story emerged from a text exchange she posted.

In a now-viral TikTok video, Khristina shared the conversation with her date, who was reluctant to pick up the tab for their coffee. His reluctance led her to cut things off.

“So you’re cancelling the date because I didn’t pay for your coffee on the first date?” the man asked in the texts.

“Yes,” Khristina replied.

He responded by accusing her of having an “attitude problem,” to which she fired back: “I don’t have an attitude problem. You have a problem with my attitude, which is not my problem.”

Khristina’s video has since racked up more than 500,000 views, sparking a mix of support and skepticism.

In her follow-up comments, she clarified that she believes “no one should do anything they do not want to do,” but emphasized that her decision to end things was a reflection of her values.

“I think it is a nice gesture from a man’s side. It’s just attractive,” she explained, adding that she felt it was simply polite for her date to cover the $5 coffee since he had invited her out.

In true TikTok fashion, people had a lot to say in the comments.

"Doing 50/50 for a coffee is wild," one person commented, as a second added: "Him not paying for coffee is wild bc that’s not even bare minimum I pay for FRIENDS coffee."

A third person said: "He has a problem with your standard and that is his problem."

As you can tell most of the comments were in Khristina's favor, and after a lot of scrolling one contrary comment read: "Why would he have to pay?"

Since the man in question instigated the date, paying for Khristina's coffee wouldn't have broken the bank, would it?
