One of the readers wrote to the editorial office ofwoman.gazeta.pl. Miss Carolina (name for information of the editors) she described what she thought was an “embarrassing” situation that had recently happened to her and asked if she was right to feel awkward. The woman indicated that she is 59 years old, divorced and has two adult children.
It sounded very interesting
A woman arranged to have coffee with a man she met some time ago at her niece’s wedding. Piotr was a widower, had already retired and tried to meet Mrs. Karolina several times, but she stubbornly refused. Eventually she changed her mind and let herself be invited for coffee.
We went to an elegant cafe. We ordered coffee and cake. We had a good conversation, time passed quickly, more cakes, tea, juice, and finally two glasses of red wine appeared on the table. Everything was proposed, selected and ordered by Piotr. At the same time, he was very gallant
– wrote the reader. When, after a few pleasant hours, Karolina said that she had to go home, Piotr asked for the bill.
When the waiter brought it in, he put on his glasses, turned on the calculator on his cell phone, and started counting who pays how much. He even asked me if I had had one or two teas. The waiter stood over us and waited. The situation was embarrassing
Carolina added. As a result, she ended up paying most of the bill.
I have no problem paying for myself, my daughter often reminds me that we don’t live in the Middle Ages anymore, but since he was the one who invited me and he offered to place more orders, I was sure he wanted to pay
she wrote.
It all depends on the situation
Karolina added that she was so embarrassed by the described situation that she stopped responding to Piotr’s messages and did not answer his calls. She asked if she was right in thinking that the man should pay for her.
It all depends on what we agree on. If someone proposes a meeting and openly declares: “I invite”, we can expect that he wants to pay the bill. Regardless of whether he is a woman or a man. Often, even without such a declaration, a man will feel obliged to pay the waiter, but there is no such obligation – it is only his good will, the way he was brought up, etc. Usually you just need to wait to be sure that the man wants to pay – he will ask the waiter for the bill. If he doesn’t do this for a long time, and we feel that the meeting is over, it’s worth asking: “Can we ask for the bill?”. When the waiter brings it – we will find out what our companion’s intentions are. It should be remembered that we live in 2023 and the times when paying for a woman in a restaurant was considered an obligation only for men are long gone.
