Would you split the bill on your first date with someone?
I always propose splitting and, as a woman, I think it’s the safest and most correct thing to do. When I was younger and inexperienced -and why not, a bit broke- I went to a lot dates where the man would offer to pay and I, very thankfully, accepted.

In many of those dates, later, the men would make advances and if I refused them or even showed a bit of hesitation, the first words they would tell me were: “But I payed for dinner”. It made everything more uncomfortable and less simple than it should have been. As I matured and gained a bit of self-confidence, I began proposing to split the bill. Most of the times the guy would accept it gracefully and it would be fine, but in a few occasions they would just refuse to let me pay for my half. Big red flag. On those rare occassions I would excuse myself, as I was going to the bathroom, discreetly pay for my half on the counter, and laugh it off when the bill arrived half payed to the table. No second dates, no problem.
There are still a lot of men out there who think they can buy sex with you just paying for a dinner. They don’t wear bright neon signs pointing at them. You never know who your date really is and it never hurts to be a little bit cautious. That’s why I always insist on splitting the bill.
Have you or anyone close to you gotten the covid vaccine?
I have had the vaccine because I work in nursing and live in the UK. I chose to have it because I am 42 and have underlying health conditions.

I have had the vaccine because I work in nursing and live in the UK. I chose to have it because I am 42 and have underlying health conditions. I have also seen first hand the Covid 19 virus effects and know it is, for some people a killer disease. With everything I have seen and heard, Covid19 is like russian roulette. If you get it, you do not know if it will just give you a mild illness or if it will kill you or leave you with life changing disabilities. I understand peoples fears surrounding vaccines but what I do not understand is their blatant non fear of the virus itself. The bigger threat is the virus, the bigger danger is the virus and I do not think people understand that the virus is going to be with us forever, it is never going to be fully eradicated so it is not a question of f you will be infected, it’s a question of when. We already know that you can catch it more than once but it is survivable and moreso if you have some immunity. I respect people’s view not to be vaccinated because of fear of the unknown but if you contract the virus and pass it to a family member who dies from it, you will have to live with that, just like the many thousands of people who have already done so. Current vaccines will not stop you contracting Covid 19 but they may help you lessen the effects when you do get it. For vulnerable people that could be life saving.
