AUSTIN, TX (InsideEdition.com) — The man who claimed he was going to sue a woman for texting during their first date has opted to call it off.
Brandon Vezmar met Crystal Cruz on the online dating app Bumble. On Saturday, he took her to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at a movie theater in Austin, Texas.
He claimed she was texting through the movie and got fed up.
“Maybe you can take it outside,” he said he told her.
“She was behaving as if it was normal,” he told Inside Edition. “So much so, that I thought to myself, ‘who does this?’”
She said “I’ll be right back,” and never returned.
Cruz told Inside Edition the texts were from a friend who sent her three messages to make sure she was safe on the date.
Vezmar, who said he paid $17.31 for each ticket, contacted Cruz the next day demanding the money back.
“Crystal, your behavior Saturday was not only rude but it cost me money. I want you to compensate me for the $17 movie ticket. Will you do this or do I have to pursue the money in small claims court?” he texted her.
She called it “insane,” adding: “I’m not paying you back for the movie!!”
“I laughed it off,” she told Inside Edition. “I didn’t think it would come to this.”
He filed the incident in small claims court saying it cost him $17.31, calling texting habit “a threat to civilized society.”
Inside Edition brought the feuding duo back to the movie theater where their ill-fated date took place in an attempt to work things out.
“The date just didn’t work out,” she told him during the reunion.
She also apologized and handed him money, asking him to “just leave this alone.”
Vezmar accepted her apology and said he will withdraw his suit.
She wouldn't be eating crackers. She'd be texting...
Familiar? No. The whole situation sounds bizarre and imbecilic. I count myself fortunate that I don’t know people like either of these in-DUH- viduals.
Well, she's less likely to object to how I'm keeping myself amused if she's distracted ...
This would have been the summer of 1979.
Sorry.
17.31 to avoid the clap seems cheap to me. What a tool, what a skank.
He took her to Alamo Drafthouse, it’s a movie theatre/restaurant. So you have a meal, drinks, talk until the movie starts.
And initially she claimed a friend was going through some boyfriend problems so that’s why she was texting so much.
“Oh mah gah, mah boyfriend liked a picture of his ex on Facebook and we’re fightin!”
You’re 32, not 12. Put the phone down, especially on a 1st date.
And you found out for less than $20 that she was still a child on a first date. Count your blessings and run fast, run far, run silent, run deep, just remember to run and move on.
She is rude and obnoxious for spending time texting on a date, even if she lost interest in the guy. Three texts, yea right!
On the bright side, this made national news and gives some good info on the character of both of them if there are future prospects.
Damn, movies cost that much these days?
Maybe they should change the name of the website to Bungle.com.
If I were single and a girl texted more than once during our first date, it would be our last date. Once is okay: “Green” (good date, no need to come up with an excuse to bail me out) or “Red” (call in five minutes crying, with a good emergency, where I have to leave immediately). More than that, and we are not going to be compatible.
If I were single and I got out of a bad first date for under $20, I would consider that a great financial deal for me. It’s well worth $20 to find out that you don’t want a second date with a woman. The girl is cute, but that is nowhere near enough for anyone sensible and over 21. As for the guy, the girl is lucky she showed her rudeness before she got to know that controlling loser.
Do you know how to tell when a flakette has an orgasm?
She drops her iPhone...

Seems to me they deserve each other.
Great first date idea, ya big dope.
Maybe she didn't "put out" because she's not a slut.
Yep, that’s the way you do it. I wouldn’t even go to dinner on a first date, when you eat right in front of your dates face it don’t look too good, all that chewing and saliva, and food on the teeth. Walking and talking is the way to do it just like you said.
True enough.
She obviously was seriously sh*t testing him. Big disrespect during a date. Then she just left.
You can’t let them walk all over you. If they dont respect you they are not gonna let you do anything with them.
Drinking stuff in front of the other usually goes a lot better. Usually.
She was texting a friend to tell her about her creepy date who cut a hole in the bottom of the popcorn box and told her “there’s a surprise in there for you!”
