When Dutch people finish with a date and want to split the check, what do they call it? They can’t call it “going Dutch.”
Do they say “Let us treat this matter in the egalitarian way invented by our ancestors”? Or maybe they automatically split the check, because they’re Dutch and they have no choice.
Which means that when an American dates a Dutch person and tries to pay for the meal, the Dutch person is likely to get very offended. “You have shamed me and you have shamed my family name. Go back to Amsterdam.”
