My second date with my wife I suggested on the phone we go check out a new restaurant by my apartment that had food from her native country she said "it's fine, save your money. I will just go to your place and cook". She did and I helped. That was 15 years ago.
Mentioned this story to many people over the years she always blushes.
So you let him spend his quarters when you could have just done his laundry for him?
…well I guess a first date isn’t really the best time to invite a stranger to pile their crusty socks in your personal washing machine. Ok point retracted
The joke is that from the flip side maybe he just married her for her washer and dryer. I'm not saying it's a good joke, but I don't think it's bad enough to merit that many downvotes 🤷🏻♂️
This is my take as well. She wanted to go on the date with him and he later realized it. Not sure if there's meant to be a joke, to me this is a wholesome tweet.

Marry somebody so you can move into their apartment with a washer-dryer? Perfectly plausible in any big city

"I did something I didn't have to because I wanted an excuse to say yes to going on a date with you. :3"

Maybe it was too subtle and downvoters didn't get it.
