In that moment,  [https://pinjol303.org memek] I felt like I needed the support of my viewers in that moment. <br><br>'I discuss relationships and  [https://pinjol303.org porn] things like that, so I thought that that was a good opportunity for  [https://pinjol303.org memek] me to have that conversation and see like what does everybody else think. <br><br>'I wasn't really taking [Jay's] feelings into consideration,  [https://pinjol303.org bokep] I wasn't trying to be necessarily malicious or  [https://pinjol303.org porn] anything.' <br><br>She also chalked up her behavior to the crowd she surrounds herself with. <br><br>Alicia said that if any of her pals discovered she went to The Cheesecake Factory,  [https://pinjol303.org porn] she would 'never live it down.' <br><br>She explained that her attitude came from her upbringing because she had been raised to expect a man to 'court' her. <br><br><br><br><br>Alicia noted that she could have behaved better after Jay took her to The Cheesecake Factory,  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] but as a 'queen,' she should not be expected to go into a chain dinner spot<br><br><br><br><br><br>She explained that her attitude came from her upbringing because she had been raised to expect a man to 'court' her<br><br>Alicia added: 'To be fair, I was always raised that the man is supposed to cater to you. You're courting me,  [https://pinjol303.org crot] so court me. That means wherever I want to go,  [https://pinjol303.org crot] you take me. Whatever I want, you buy me. That's courting. I'm looking for a provider.' <br><br>However, she did admit that she may have focused on herself too much, instead of taking into account Jay's feelings. <br><br>'But after the conversation,  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] I could see how there was a lot of "I" in that exchange. I was definitely very self-centered. I can appreciate that if I do want someone to provide for  [https://pinjol303.org memek] me,  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] I have at least got to be a little bit nice. <br><br>'I'm a beautiful woman,  [https://pinjol303.org crot] so I expect to be treated like royalty,' she continued. <br><br>Alicia explained that her race was a factor in the conversation because she was 'tired of having to settle.' <br><br>She noted that as a black woman,  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] she no longer wants to stay in relationships where her needs aren't being met,  [https://pinjol303.org porn] adding that she wants a 'soft life.'<br><br>Jay spoke about how the clip has impacted his dating life,  [https://pinjol303.org porn] adding that he has found it difficult to find someone who is genuinely interested in him because Alicia took their date to the next level by recording it.<br><br><br><br><br>However, she did admit that she may have focused on herself too much, instead of taking into account Jay's feelings<br><br><br><br><br>He explained:  [https://pinjol303.org porn] 'Women kind of have this image of me based on the video, which hasn't helped. It's like they might think everything about me is reflected in that video, and I don't think it is. <br><br>'Her recording me did feel like that's where she was trying to take advantage. It felt at the time that [she was] trying to get a free meal from a fancy restaurant and then get content from me too to post on YouTube or  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] Facebook.'<br><br>Jay also elaborated further about how the duo first met at a bar where he approached Alicia before asking her on a date. <br><br>Alicia noted that although she wasn't attracted to Jay at first glance, she believed that he was 'thoughtful and  [https://pinjol303.org memek] engaging,' so she gave him a chance.<br><br>And  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] Jay insisted that it wasn't his intention to take her to the chain restaurant but their plans were disrupted when she made him wait an hour outside of her house when he arrive to pick her up. <br><br>He added that the clip painted him in a bad light. <br><br>At the end of the interview,  [https://pinjol303.org memek] both Alicia and Jay noted that they would consider going on a second date if they could come to an agreement about their values.<br><br><br><br><br>Alicia was slammed online after refusing to get out the car for a first date at The Cheesecake Factory<br><br><br><br><br><br>She complained to Jay that the chain restaurant was 'embarrassing' <br><br>In the controversial clip which initially sparked the outrage online,  [https://pinjol303.org memek] Alicia could be seen sitting in the passenger seat of a car.<br><br>While donning a plunging neon green dress, she looked directly at the camera from behind a pair of statements shades.<br><br>Jay said he would walk around to open her door but, as soon as he exited the car,  [https://pinjol303.org crot] she expressed her dismay.<br><br>Alicia said: 'He's got me at The Cheesecake Factory.'<br><br>She then locked the door,  [https://pinjol303.org memek] shook her head and moved her finger disapprovingly as her date appeared outside her door.<br><br>He knocked and  [https://pinjol303.org porn] she eventually said with disgust:  [https://pinjol303.org porn] 'This is The Cheesecake Factory. This is a chain restaurant. <br><br>'Who takes someone that looks like this to a chain restaurant?'<br><br>Jay was understandably perplexed but noted that he was happy to talk things through despite her filming their exchange. <br><br>She ordered him to get back in the car before he asked: 'So,  [https://pinjol303.org memek] you expect a man to go all out on the first date, is that right?' <br><br>To which,  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] she responded with an air of condescension: 'You're supposed to. When you take out a beautiful woman and  [https://pinjol303.org memek] you're courting her - because I get courted - you're supposed to take care of her,  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] you're supposed to cover her,  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] you're supposed to protect her,  [https://pinjol303.org bokep] cherish her,  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] treat her well,  [https://pinjol303.org bokep] right?'<br><br>He agreed, adding: 'I went into the date with expectations for  [https://pinjol303.org crot] myself - to keep you safe,  [https://pinjol303.org memek] to respect you,  [https://pinjol303.org crot] to pay for  [https://pinjol303.org bokep] your food, to pick you up - and  [https://pinjol303.org memek] just treat you like a gentleman [should]. Which I believe I have done.<br><br>'I, on the other hand,  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] have certain expectations for  [https://pinjol303.org bokep] a girl I go out with on a first date. I expect her to be respectful too, I expect her to be cooperative.' <br><br><br><br><br>Her date revealed that he had made a reservation elsewhere but that an unforeseen delay meant they missed it - and so The Cheesecake Factory was the backup option (stock image)<br><br><br><br><br><br>She was left stunned when he insisted on calling it a night before she muttered:  [https://pinjol303.org porn] 'I understand you got to do what you got to do'<br><br>Alicia repeatedly fixed her hair and made it clear that she was unconvinced.<br><br>She replied:  [https://pinjol303.org bokep] 'I feel like I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do as a woman. I got myself all made up...'<br><br>Before she could finish her sentence,  [https://pinjol303.org bokep] Jay interjected:  [https://pinjol303.org bokep] 'But there is nothing wrong with The Cheesecake Factory.'<br><br>He then revealed that he had agreed to pick her up at 4pm but that she did not come down from her apartment for  [https://pinjol303.org bokep] another hour without him being invited up to wait.<br><br>She justified that she did not know him well enough yet,  [https://pinjol303.org porn] to which he responded:  [https://pinjol303.org crot] 'That's why I'm saying, I'm thinking,  [https://pinjol303.org memek] okay,  [https://pinjol303.org crot] if we're not there in the relationship to meet at your apartment then maybe we're not ready in the relationship for  [https://pinjol303.org memek] such a nice,  [https://pinjol303.org crot] fancy restaurant - especially if I am paying for the whole thing.'<br><br>He revealed that he had made a reservation elsewhere but that the unforeseen delay meant they missed it - and  [https://pinjol303.org bokeh] so The Cheesecake Factory was the backup option. <br><br>Alicia was undeterred however,  [https://pinjol303.org memek] as she questioned: 'Isn't there another restaurant you can call that is equivalent to that? You don't understand  [https://pinjol303.org crot] - look at me. I cannot go in The Cheesecake Factory. I will die. That's embarrassing.'<br><br>Her exasperated date added: 'Maybe we are not right for each other so respectfully I'm going to just drop you off at home.' <br><br>She replied: 'Oh no he didn't. So you just want to call it a night? Isn't there some kind of compromise or  [https://pinjol303.org memek] something?
