A woman has shared the story of a 's*** date' she once had with a man who asked for his money back after she said she didn't fancy meeting up again - demanding a grand total of £3.50.
Twitter user Lauren (@LaurenNotLozza) shared screenshots of an exchange she had with a chap a few years ago, revealing how he 'tried to invoice' her for their date.
The man had messaged her after they met up to see if she fancied a second date, but Lauren politely replied to say that she didn't feel they had any chemistry.

This didn't go down too well with her companion, who tried to convince her to give it another go - before eventually conceding defeat and sulkily asking for the cash back.
Posting the screengrabs on Twitter, Lauren wrote: "Six years since that lad tried to invoice me for a s*** date."
In the first message, her date wrote: "Hey, it was good to see you tonight. Fancy meeting up again?"

Apologising for her delay in replying, she then admitted that she was 'not sure we had that chemistry', wishing him a good evening.
Two minutes later, the man responded: "How about I cook dinner for you tomorrow and we'll see what happens? If we don't click, we can leave it. We communicate naturally. It's a good start. Let's give us a chance."
Lauren then said: "Sorry but I wouldn't go to someone's house when I barely know them. Unfortunately I'm overly romantic and a big believer in feeling some kind of spark early on. Wish you all the best though."

The man initially wrote 'fair enough', but continued his message by asking for her to pay him back for her coffee.
"I don't like wasting money," he explained.
"Prefer to use it on a date with someone else."

The next morning, Lauren hit back with something of a mic drop, saying she would happily cough up - though offered to donate the money to charity instead.
"It's a shame you consider a date to be a waste when it doesn't end on your terms," she said.
"How about I donate £3.50 to a charity of your choice to give you a chance to regain some decorum? I can even bump it up to £5 to cover your bus journey too if you'd like? Might I be so bold as to suggest the Royal British Legion as it was Armistice Day yesterday."
In a follow-up tweet, Lauren also revealed what his response had been after that.

"I'd like to decide myself what I do with the money," he wrote, before sharing his bank details.
Commenting on the thread, one person said: "I can't actually believe what I'm reading. That's absolutely unbelievable."
Another added: "RUDE! Epic wazzock."
