My date asked me to split the check three ways, with his imaginary friend
We were at a diner in Omaha, and the bill came to $47.50. He pulled out his phone, did some math, and said we each owed $15.83. I pointed out there were only two of us. He got real quiet, then explained the third share was for his 'emotional support persona' he brings on dates. I just paid the whole thing and left. Has anyone else had a date bring a third party that wasn't actually there?

Forget the math, focus on the imaginary friend. That's a whole new level of date weirdness. I'm honestly stuck on what an emotional support persona even is.

It sounds like a lot to deal with.

Yeah anna_stone45, the emotional support persona thing is wild. I once went out with someone who kept checking in with their "inner child" for menu choices, which felt pretty similar. It definitely makes a simple dinner more complicated than it needs to be.
