On Facebook there was an article posted about who should pay on a first date.

My response:

Neither should pay because I believe in adventure on a first date. You make reservations under a false identity at a restaurant. Order anything you want, have a wonderful time. Then towards the end when things start to wind down call over the server and ask them to give your compliments to the chef. In fact, the food was so good you would like to thank them personally and insist they bring the chef over to your table. Once they leave explain to your date that on the count of 3 you will both stand up and calmly walk out of the restaurant. Done.

A few tips:
  • Make sure this is a restaurant that you will never want to visit again.
  • Do the simple math on how much the bill would have been and leave a 20% tip for the server.
  • If your date gives you any resistance about leaving then give them 1 chance to change their mind, if they refuse, then say "You're on your own, sucker!" in the voice of James Cagney and leave immediately.
  • If you're accosted for any reason between your table and the exit look wild-eyed at your date and start screaming "CODE BLUE! CODE BLUE!" and bolt in a different direction. No you did not have any prior contingency plan for such an event, but in the confusion you will be able to make a getaway and self preservation is all that matters.
  • Enjoy.
