Awful date. Tried to embarrass me the whole evening...

Just block & move on. I totally understand why you would like to have a go at him prior to this but, in reality, a man like this is too stupid to take on board what you're telling him. Your anger will subside, I promise you.

Block and move on. Don't engage, don't acknowledge him. The minute you get in touch you're playing the game.
He'll respond and you'll be angry and respond etc etc and you don't move on.
Or he won't respond which is also soooo frustrating and you'll regret messaging and wish you'd just ghosted him!
He's not unique, unfortunately, and there are many more out there just like him. But he really isn't worth your time or energy.

What a dick! Immature and thick. Block him immediately.

Just wanted to say I’m sorry for your losses. You have had an awful time of it. I hope that you find a good man out there who does cherish and nurture you, and is who is proud of what you do.

@brackenburyThat is so not funny and could cause you a lot of trouble.

My GP friend told us about a friend of his who is a paediatrician who was beaten up and left for dead.

When the culprits were picked up by CTV imagery, when asked why they had done it, they said it was because he was a paedophile.

They didn't know the difference between the two ffs 😡🙄😡

The guy nearly died. He hasn't worked since because of the damage they did.

Apparently they has overheard him talking somewhere and he must have said about his job

Kick the bloke into touch and block him after giving him a piece of your mind my advice

You’re a bright lass. Is this the first meeting with a Narcassist? Get well away, they mess with your head big time, insulting you, then say they were just joking and in the end you will think it’s you that has a problem NOT. Plenty of gentle fish out there. Dump like a smelly bag of poo he is.

Wow he sounds ds really thick

I'm surprised you're thinking of giving him a chance wow he sounded really thick

Glad you blocked him.

But if he keeps finding ypu to message consider whether you want to message him cos he doesn't seem to be getting the message.

And then if it continues whether you need to report him for harassment.

I'd tell him I found his honestly humour rather juvenile and don't believe we are compatible. In fact I'd have told him it's not at all funny on the night.

OP, I’m very sorry you had to put up with this utter dickhead. There are much nicer guys out there.
(I didn’t meet my partner until I was late thirties after years of bad dates)

He sounds really, really thick, massively insecure and extremely intimidated by you. What a loser.

This! He feels inferior and probably has issue with you having such an occupation which you worked your backside off for. He doesn’t like feeling small and not as important, bless him!

He's immature, I doubt there was any malicious master plan to "take you down a peg or two" or anything. I doubt the idea this was anything but a funny joke (to him) has crossed his mind at any point then or now.

Clearly not compatible with you though, ignore and move on.

Was he 13?
It's like going fishing in the Thames catching a crocodile......no reasonable person should expect it. I hope it was a one off but next time whatever decisions you made that led you to that date I probably wouldn't repeat them.

I would be telling him straight up I dont appreciate being called that joking or not and that in your line of work something like that could destroy a career. Advise him you have no intentions of a second date but in future he may not wish to behave in that manor, certainly not on a first date.

It's disappointing, isn't it? I understand the urge to explain, justify or educate (I've felt all of these in the years I've been dating) but there's no point. The recipient will either assume the worst of you or argue with you. If he knows or can find out where you live or work and is sufficiently unhinged it could be dangerous to antagonise him.

What I do in such a case is ignore, or send a polite 'it was a pleasure to meet you but I feel we are not a match. All the best'. And then I write about it in my blog, and laugh about it with my friends, and remind myself how lucky I am not to be saddled with such a man 😀. You've dodged a bullet there, move on and good luck!

He’s obviously threatened by the fact you are a doctor so is trying to belittle it. You deserve WAY better. Please do not settle.

Also, this, OP.

I genuinely hope you find someone decent and worthy!

Honestly, he's not bright enough for you. He sounds like he was relieved he understood the title of your job. Block and move on. Silly men often try and minimise women in better jobs than them.

Some men are single for a reason! Don’t waste anymore energy on him. I don’t think you can tell from texts or even calls sometimes. When I did online dating in the past I tended to meet in real life quickly to get the measure of them….so I didn’t waste too much of my time if they were arses. I was quite surprised how many men could seem lovely prior, then within 10 minutes of meeting, found them to complete fu@kwits.
Don’t lose faith though, it’s just sorting out the ‘single for a reason’ men from the decent ones.

You were remarkably restrained! I am sure it was the correct thing just to block him but I am not sure I would have been able to resist the urge to reply to his queries about a further date with "You must be joking" before I blocked.

I can't believe you didn't walk out and then immediately block.

Tell him to totter off and go where the sun doesn't shine. What an utter waste of space !!

@brackenbury sorry to hear this, OP. There are more and more women are choosing to remain single… take for that what you will. There are decent men out there, but hard to find amongst the crud!

I’d have given him a piece of my mind before the blocks personally, how else is he going to learn?! That said, he’d probably just think you’re ’being too sensitive’ anyway… 🙄 🤷‍♀️

Sorry for your losses too 😕

Not all men are like that. He's definitely a million times less intelligent than you. He obviously didn't even pick up how offensive he was and now offended u were. Definitely throw him back and move on.
As someone who is regularly in a children's ward...thank you for doing the incredible work you do. You guys are amazing. Must be an incredibly rewarding and demanding job.
So yes...thank you.

Someone will be honoured to be with you and treat you as his queen.
Accept nothing less

Does he know your surname? If he does, it’ll be easy to find where you work.
