A man has recounted a date that ended abruptly after his companion expressed strong disapproval of his intention to take home her uneaten, expensive meal. The incident, shared by the man identified as Max Birch on TikTok, has since gained widespread attention online.
Birch explained that he had taken the woman to a high-end restaurant. He stated that after ordering, the woman chose a surf and turf entree priced at $220, along with a side of caviar, significantly exceeding the cost of his own meal and a bottle of wine. Birch reported that his date consumed only a few bites of her order before stating she was full. He then indicated his intention to box up the remaining food to take home, which reportedly led to the woman's distress.
According to Birch, the woman reacted with dismay upon hearing his plan to take the leftovers. He recounted her stating that she would never eat leftovers and that she intended to leave. She reportedly declined his offer to drive her home and arranged her own transportation, subsequently ceasing contact with him.
Birch expressed surprise at the woman's reaction, questioning whether his desire to save the uneaten food was the cause of the date's failure. He suggested that the woman may have overextended his generosity by ordering such a costly meal without intending to finish it.
The video of his account, reshared on X (formerly Twitter), generated numerous comments from users, many of whom sided with Birch, criticizing the woman's behavior as entitled and wasteful. The original TikTok video reportedly received millions of views.
