He Asked for $38 Back After She Rejected a Second Date

About this episode

The episode discusses a dating incident in Sydney where a man requested his date to pay her half of the bill after she declined a second date, exploring the implications of who pays on a first date.

Sydney dating is rough and this story proves it. A man took a woman out for breakfast, she politely declined a second date, and he immediately asked her to transfer her half of the $38 bill. We get into the real question: who pays on a first date and what does it mean? Jermaine's theory is that whoever covers the bill is signalling there will be a next time. Listeners call in with their dating rules and one woman in Camden is absolutely eliminating men based on sunglass choice alone. Thin gold frames after dark? You are done before you started.
