Castellon \/ TikTok: tisiaxvsA woman\u2019s TikTok on how she avoids a \u201clow-budget experience\u201d while dating has left the internet divided. There can be a lot of nerves surrounding a first date \u2014 after all, if all goes well it might just be the first step toward a relationship. However, dating etiquette and expectations vary between people depending on what they are looking for. So, it\u2019s no surprise that not everyone will be on board with what you are. One TikToker discovered this after sharing how she ensures none of her dates end up as a \u201clow-budget experience\u201d, leaving the internet divided. Tisia, who goes by \u2018tisiaxvs\u2019 on TikTok, regularly posts dating advice and tips as the internet\u2019s \u201cbig sister\u201d for all things relationship-related. But one of her latest posts has caused a stir. Showing a \u201csuitor\u201d inviting her for a coffee, Tisia said, \u201cYou cannot take me to coffee or tea on the first date. It\u2019s not equitable for me, I don\u2019t drink coffee, and my perfume costs too much so don\u2019t play.\u201d She then used \u201cthe sandwich effect\u201d to \u201credirect\u201d the date toward something more suited to her. And for anyone confused, there are no actual sandwiches involved. Instead, it\u2019s an approach used to give negative feedback by \u201csandwiching\u201d it between two pieces of positive feedback. Using this technique, Tisia was able to turn her upcoming date into a restaurant experience, telling viewers to \u201cask for what you want, be polite in your ask, be a little bit difficult, and always say please and thank you.\u201d The video sparked various reactions, with Tisia\u2019s supporters calling her \u201celite, masterful, and intentional\u201d. However, not everyone was on board. \u201cMy worth isn\u2019t attached to what the date looks like at all,\u201d one said. Another stated, \u201cCoffee on the 1st date is perfect for me\u2026low budget with my time and his money! Chemistry is the goal not how much he can spend.\u201d Some took a different route entirely, one disagreer writing, \u201cMe personally, I wouldn\u2019t even respond to a man who would even think to suggest coffee date \u2014 just find another one who\u2019ll suggest dinner.\u201d While Tisia\u2019s advice might not be everyone\u2019s cup of tea, those who followed her tips returned with positive results; \u201cGirl!!! Tell me why I tried this today and he stepped right up.
