A little while ago, a woman posted here about not receiving her travel expenses. Something similar happened to me in the past as well.

On our first date, he took me to a Japanese restaurant in Shinjuku and treated me to dinner. When we were leaving, I felt it would be rude to ask, “Could I have my travel expenses?” myself, so we exchanged contact information and I waited for him to offer them. However, we only made plans for our next date and went our separate ways that day. The next day, I messaged him to thank him for dinner and casually brought up the travel expenses. Since I live in Chiba, the round-trip fare to Shinjuku is fairly expensive, so I mentioned that too. He replied, “I thought the travel expenses were included in the cost of dinner. I didn’t know. I’ll give them to you next time, when we go to a hotel.” Women are the ones receiving dinner and an allowance in return for going to a hotel, so inevitably, we’re in the weaker position. I don’t intend to see him again, and I also mentioned that in the comments. The men who answer questions here all seem to be proper, gentlemanly members, but I’ve learned that not everyone is like that. I’ll be much more careful from now on.
