Who pays on the first date: ghosting, Netflix, chill, and a king-size bed from IKEA. How-to instructions for a wanderer in Portugal
Description
In this lesson, Mr. Brett explains how-to hint at your expectations from a first date while chatting on Tinder or Okcupid. Maybe you don’t want to pay separately for coffee or are not ready to watch Netflix under one blanket on a first date? Mr. Brett will help you find the right words to talk about it.
And as always, Lena and Elena apply this advice on real people. And in real life, something always goes wrong. So here is Elena who is trying to “fuck over discomfort”, and Lena who forgot to discuss expectations with two guys assembling her IKEA king-size bed. Elena passes a terrible endurance test, and Lena encourages princes to fix her faucet in order to choose a husband. Elena spends her last money on a trip with a girl to Bali. And Lena is confused: whether she pays for her boyfriend or not, nothing good comes of it.
