Really thank you @anita! :3

I met up with her yesterday. She said she might have overreacted. Her mom invited more than 20 people from the church. Because she hasn’t been very religious since she discovered her sexual orientation, she felt she had to hide the real her in front of those people. She had already been scared of the party. Knowing that I wouldn’t come made her terrified of the party. But the party itself was fine. People were just chatting and asking her about school and next steps. Nothing that might upset her came up.

Before meeting up with her for dinner, I went to buy some gifts for her graduation party. I spent more than 100 dollars and did monogram for her. When we were ready to pay for the dinner, she asked the waitress to split the bill but was told we could only split evenly. Then I realized I ordered a drink ($3) to share. I guess she counted the drink on me, although we each had half of it. That was a quick thought process. After the waitress left, she said my dish was about 50 cents higher than hers and asked how I wanted to pay her back.

I was a bit surprised at the moment. We had gone to dinners many times. She’s the type who always orders an appetizer and a dish. So she always had more to pay. But we had always split the bill evenly. Sometimes she asked if I wanted her to pay me back, I said it was fine. Last night was the only time that she didn’t have appetizer and what I ordered was $3.5 than hers. She was so prompted to make me pay her back. I offered to pay the tip for the whole table. And she was okay with that.

I wasn’t and still am not very happy about that suggestion. I mean all those gifts she just received from me and she was being almost stingy with money. I don’t know if I’m overreacting now.
