Man Requests Rs 1 Lakh Reimbursement After Woman Rejects Lavish First DatePreviousNext

A man spent over Rs 1 lakh on a first date at a Michelin-starred restaurant, arranging a luxury car and an elaborate evening. After the woman friend-zoned him, citing his baldness as a reason, he allegedly asked her to repay the amount spent. The exchange, shared on social media, sparked debate about dating etiquette, financial expectations, and whether expensive dates imply obligations. Reactions were divided, with some criticizing the man's request and others questioning the woman's rejection criteria.
