And the other fact is you don't know this person from a hole in the ground. He could follow you out to your car and say "well, I bought you a shitty dinner at Bravo, you need to give me a BJ now."

It was through "traditional" means. I always offer to pay, regardless of how we met, and this is the first time someone actually brought it up first. It was definitely off-putting. The fact that he brought it up even before the bill came was a red flag to me more than anything else.
