I Refused to Split the Bill — and the Cost Was Painful

I went on my first date with a guy from a dating app. I ordered everything I wanted and ate way too much. When the bill came, he suggested splitting it. I said, “No. You invited me. You pay.” He paid, but what I didn’t know was that he secretly saved my contact in his phone under a different name.I only found out later. While we were saying goodbye in the car, his phone lit up, and I saw how I was saved: “The entitled girl. Never again.” I stayed quiet and didn’t say anything.

That moment hurt more than I expected. Not just because of the words themselves, but because I had actually liked him. The date hadn’t felt hostile or tense, and I had no idea he was making such a harsh judgment about me in private.hortly after, his profile disappeared from the app. I never heard from him again. There was no explanation, no conversation — just silence.Now I don’t know what to do. I keep wondering if I handled the bill situation completely wrong, or if I should have just split it to avoid all of this. I’ve even thought about reaching out through mutual friends, just to explain myself.really liked him, and part of me feels foolish for still caring — to the point where I start thinking maybe I should just stay single forever.
