More and more South Africans are embracing online dating. It has become the norm that people

But not many dates go as expected when online lovers meet for the first time.

 

 

 

In last nights episode of Skeem Saam, Leshole met his online lover for the first time.

Their date went well until it was time to pay the bill. Leshole broke all the dating rules when he told his partner to pay the other half.

Leshole showed viewers how financially savvy he is, and he did not shy away from asking his date to pay 50% of the bill. Men often offer to pay for the whole bill on their first date to impress a woman, but Leshole wasn’t one of those men.

Leshole protected himself from the disaster of paying for a meal on someone he might never see again.

As usual, South Africans were very much torn apart with this move.

Is that a smart way of dealing in a first date with someone you have just met online?
