After trying almost everything possible, a man issued a refund demand for a £3.50 coffee after being rejected by the girl he had met on date through a dating app.

Lauren Crouch, 28, from Islington, London, went for a coffee at Costa with her date but declined when he invited her back to his place for dinner, reported itv.com.

Lauren’s date later text her asking her to pay him back for his coffee as he didn’t like ‘wasting’ money.

Lauren met the man through dating app Tinder arranged to meet in person by a station.

‘He suggested coffee as he wasn’t drinking but when she recommended an independent cafe across the road, he asked to go to Costa instead ‘to save them crossing’.’

When Lauren declined another meeting, the man replied: ‘Can you pay me pack for your coffee? I don’t like wasting money. Prefer to use it on a date with someone else.’

‘Lauren posted her experience on her blog called No Bad Dates, Just Good Stories.’

‘So my first foray back in to dating and it lasts a total of 32 minutes and ends with the most alarming text message I’ve ever received,’ she wrote.
