  Going to eat as a first date is bad anyways. Should do something where you are a not forced to sit in front of each other for a fixed amount of time. Why not go for a walk in a park, take a coffee or other things that are more “open”.

    Means you pay for your own meal. Not sure why it where but probably some racist thing, I assume

      More of a cultural thing, I think. From what I’ve gathered from a friend that lives in the Netherlands the dutch are pretty serious about paying for their own meals and getting people to pay for theirs. I even remember seeing a sketch made by some dutch people where one gives a bite of their sandwich to a coworker or something and then they tell the coworker that they’re owed x amount for it.

      it’s not about race, but nation. it’s probably xenophobic

      I’ve heard it all my life. I just assumed the Dutch were cheap, and won’t pay for anyone else but themselves.
