Nope, not paying for random women's meals. Early dates should be free or nearly free. Go on a walk. Go for a coffee. No man should be saved as "Free Food" on a woman's phone.
I don't know what led people to believe that cooking your own delicious and healthy food is that expensive and takes that long, but enjoy the angry Doordash delivery guy berating you for not paying for their gas with tip, I guess.
Flex your foot immediately (rotate it upwards) when you feel it coming, while holding the top of the foot back with your hand. It significantly reduces the pain and how long you will be limping afterwards.
