Pretty much every romantic relationship starts out with a first date, whether it's online, on an outdoor walk, over drinks or at a restaurant. But it turns out when some people choose the latter option, they may have a hidden agenda. Sneating is a dubious new dating trend, whereby a person accepts a restaurant date with the sole intention of dining out on someone else’s dime. It's a contraction of the words "sneaky" and "eating", so the meaning is pretty obvious. You go on the date, eat for free and then never contact the person who footed the restaurant bill.   How did this become a thing? Why do that though? Sneating is still a little wrong though isn't it?
