Below is a detailed summary of the services provided and the corresponding fees.
At first I thought it was a joke, a rather strange attempt at humor that didn’t quite land. But after reading it, I almost felt like having another coffee this morning.
The supposed services he listed were completely absurd, which made me appreciate his gentlemanly charm in a whole new way.
Bouquet of roses: A
personalized keychain as a gift: A coffee meeting (arranged within one week)
Opening the car door: a cute group selfie.
Pull out a chair: Go hand in hand on your next date.
Interesting conversation and active listening: A compliment about my appearance
Full dinner + tip included: A second date without excuses.
For illustrative purposes only.
But the real catch, the part that made me realize he was serious about sending that invoice, was written in bold at the bottom.
Payment must be made in full. No refunds will be issued. Failure to pay may result in the outstanding balance being sent to a collection agency (Chris will be notified).
We expect prompt payment!
I was speechless.
It would be bad enough expecting financial compensation, but to also burden me with the necessary sensitivity and attention? Who does that?
I immediately took a screenshot of the invoice and sent it to Mia. Her response was quick.
“OH MY GOD! THIS IS WHAT I’M GOING TO TEACH CHRIS!”
“Is this real?” I replied. “Seriously!”
“Wait until Chris sees this. He’ll go crazy,” she replied.
