AITA for not paying for a stranger’s food because I didn’t want a date with him?

I 25F am a very generous person. I donate, I volunteer, I always give people their balance in change, I even give people my snacks on the airplane. My mom instilled in me to be generous and kind-hearted. <br><br>I was grocery shopping and realized I didn’t have enough money to pay for my groceries. This kind gentleman covered my groceries (he was behind me in line). He was very kind and I was so incredibly grateful. I went home and when I was putting groceries away, I realized I had money in my grocery bag the whole time. I felt so foolish. <br><br>But at that point I had already gone home, so there was no way for me to go back and reimburse him. I thought about it and was like oh well, at least I’m leaving a good karma legacy behind. <br><br>This morning I went to Starbucks and I had no cash and no cards on me. I was in a panic and had to call my mom to come bail me out. The manager offered to let me have the coffee and pay tomorrow. The woman behind me in line also offered to pay. It was a whole big thing. I was thankful. <br><br>Then I went to lunch at a restaurant. And no I didn’t bring my wallet again. I’m working on it okay, it’s a bad week. <br><br>I was standing there absolutely embarrassed asking my mom if she could come give me money when a guy approached me and said, “oh, no worries, ma’am.” And I thought he was going to pay for me. He didn’t. He said, “I’ll pay for you if you go on a date with me.” And I was absolutely shocked. I’ve never heard a man say that in my entire life. But I was so embarrassed at this point and the manager and the waitress and everyone was just standing there. It was a huge scene. And I was so overwhelmed and flustered that I just said yes. <br><br>Then he said, “great, I’ll pay for her.” And the manager took him to the back to take his payment. And I was sitting there, so flustered that I realized, oh crap, I’m going to have a date with this man now. And the more I thought about it, the more I was like, I don’t want to go on a date with this man. <br><br>So I went up to the manager and I said, “I’m not going to go on a date with this man, so I’m going to pay for my food.” And I could see the guy over at a table just looking at me like I was the most horrible person. I paid for my food and left. <br><br>He messaged me on Facebook. I was connected with him because we send each other friend requests when we were waiting for our food and he was smooching me so hardcore. And I was like oh my god, this is so cringy. But I was trying to be nice. <br><br>I didn’t answer his message, I just ignored it. But it was very very mean and condescending and called me a liar and an asshole. <br><br>Am I the asshole for not going on a date with him? I just didn’t want to go. I felt like I was being blackmailed into going on a date with him. It was very uncomfortable. AITA?
