He pays with a $100 bill. Sounds benign but I think it's trying to show off (although who uses cash these days, anyway?)
My sister's ex-husband paid for something with a $100 bill on their first date, and although it led to a long marriage, it obviously ended badly. That was back when $100 was really a lot of money. When I was in college, a first date pulled out a $100 bill to pay for movie tickets and I immediately thought, "Uh-oh." Sure enough, it turned out to be one of the worst dates of my life. We went back to his apartment to play checkers (probably another warning sign) and I beat him soundly the first round and was about to do it again when he purposely knocked the checker board off of the table and exclaimed, "Now, no one can win!" I asked him to take me home soon after. When I got back to the sorority house, I found out that everyone was at a fraternity party, so I went, too. (My bad date wasn't greek.) He asked me the next week why I didn't answer when he called me that night to check to make sure that my story about wanting to go to bed early was legit. Nice.
