So if you’ve made that kind, gentlemanly offer to pay for our drink, or even dinner, then you’re going to have to stick to that decision - even if we turn you down and even if it goes horribly wrong. Which, let’s face it, is more than likely in this Tinder world of well constructed, witty responses and Instagram filters all portraying the best parts of ourselves.

And, newsflash, even if you’ve paid for said date it doesn’t mean that you’ve now bought us, or our affections. A drink, a meal, whatever it is - stump up for them at your own discretion, but no amount you pay earns you our time, interest or bodies, which too many men seem to forget.

Instead, might I suggest - if you’ve paid for your date and they’ve turned you down, you have to own that decision and go home and complain about it to your friends in the true proper English way that we all know and love.
