Tiktokker's bad date sparks viral debate

After revealing why she wouldn't go on a second date with a man, an influencer sparked a discussion about modern first date etiquette.

Khristina, who has over 14 million likes on TikTok and just 1,000 followers on Instagram, shared online what she doesn't tolerate when it comes to dating.

We all know that modern dating has brought with it a lot of new etiquette issues.

Do you text after the first date? When should you add each other on social media? If he only wants to commute on Snapchat, does that mean he secretly has a wife?

Khristina made the coffee date question viral. Should you always offer to pay for your date's coffee?

The influencer shared a text exchange she had between her and a man she was on a first date with – revealing he wasn't willing to spend money on a shallow white guy.

“So you're canceling the date because I didn't pay for your coffee on the first date?” the man asked.

“Yes,” she replied.

“Well you definitely have an attitude problem,” he wrote back.

“I don’t have an attitude problem. They have a problem with my attitude, which is not my problem,” she argued.

Khristina posted the exchange just two days ago and it has already racked up over 500,000 views on TikTok.

The influencer added that “no one should do anything they don't want to do,” but that doesn't mean she has to continue dating a man who isn't willing to pay for a $5 coffee.

She argued that it was “polite” for him to offer payment because he had “invited” her to the date, and when he didn't do so she wasn't impressed.

“I think it's a nice gesture on a man's part. It’s just attractive,” she wrote.

The text exchange sparked a big discussion about money etiquette in dating.

“Why should he have to pay?” one person asked.

Almost all of the comments agreed that not bothering to go on a second date with the guy was the right move for Khristina.

Many people explained that offering to buy someone a coffee was “the bare minimum” and that it was more about the gesture than the actual cost.

Someone else called the act “wild,” and another pointed out that offering coffee on a date is not only the right thing to do, but also the normal thing for friends, family, or, yes, even love interests.

Another argued that a simple “gesture” said so much about a person and that the fact that they didn't offer anything was not a good sign.

“Not paying for coffee is weak,” complained another.

“He has a problem with your standards,” someone else pointed out.

“That was a great response,” cheered another.
