A Nigerian woman has ignited an online debate after admitting that she blocked a man who invited her on a date after he offered splitting the payment.

According to a TikTok video published by @, she claimed that she had been speaking with the man for approximately a month before he asked her out.

She accepted and even suggested a lovely restaurant, only for him to ask how she felt about going on a Dutch date, in which everyone pays for what they order.

Read what she said below:

“I was on my own. You insisted on us going for a date, and all of a sudden you’re introducing Dutch dates. If I wanted to go out and spend my money, I wouldn’t need a random man to take me out. I would simply settle myself.”

The lady explained that she couldn’t understand why she would spend money getting up and looking well for a man who still wanted her to pay her own tab on a date he set up.

She was also relieved that he brought up the notion before the outing, and she quickly blocked and removed his phone number because she had no interest in such an arrangement.

“I’ll leave my house, prepare, do my hair, lashes and everything, then you’ll tell me you want a Dutch date? If you cannot sort the bill on a first date, what exactly are you bringing to the table? Thank God he asked before the date because I blocked and deleted his number immediately,” she added.

Her video has elicited conflicting views on social media, with some agreeing that whoever begins a date should pay, while others contend that there is nothing wrong with suggesting a Dutch date.
