Man look, I’m still trying to process this. She ASKED me to meet her at Texas Roadhouse for lunch. We ate, everything cool. Check comes and I slide it her way, because if you invite somebody out, you either got it or you at least speak on it. She goes, “Why you giving me that? I don’t have money.” I said, “Hold up, you asked me out.” She hits me with, “A man supposed to pay.” That’s when I knew it wasn’t about lunch, it was about a test I didn’t sign up for. I’m not doing no dine and dash, so I went up front, paid for mine, tipped, and left. My phone started blowing up after but I stand on this, don’t invite people places with no plan, and don’t use ‘gender roles’ to cover up bad communication. ~Ronnie Peterson Sr
