Splitting the bill

And along with that, you're trying to figure out what the relationship will be like. Well, you could say if YOU don't offer to pay it all on the first day then it's going to be a bit crap - do you offer that?
Well I personally wouldn't get a joint account unless I was married or something, so if I'd dated someone for a month and they wanted to pay for something, I'd consider it a treat that they liked my personality and our relationship, not that I'm attractive and they want to buy me.

What you read on this forum =/= majority of people in the 'real' world.

I always pay. But i'm far more wealthy than most. And generous.

Don't landlords do this sort of thing all the time if you don't pay up i.e impound your stuff? Pretty sure it's not theft because for theft to take place there must be intention to keep the item permanently.

Hes not her landlord though, or anyone in any sort of position of power or authority over her and he has no right to the money. It was a bat**** crazy response. I mean he has ever right to think she is a stingy entitled b**** and never see her again. I think that would be sensible and fair. But she doesn't actually owe him any money so despite it not being legally theft if he intends to give it back its still a very inappropriate response which (in my opinion at least) has made him worse than her.
