leaving the first date after one drink and getting take out to eat at home is rude

[unlucky4marie]

Just had a first date, was OK, lasted half and hour or so. He bought the first sok I offered the second, he declined. Fair enough he's obviously not interested in even being a bit friendly and had nothing else on that day got got ready to leave. But just to add insult he got a piece of cake to take away and eat at home. He was planning to eat it as soon as he got home with another drink. That's just rude right? I wanted too burst into tears after this. I'm I being too sensitive?

Was just giving and update as I've been away for a week.

Thread is over, inexperienced online dater meets seasoned online dater and both have different expectations and inexperienced has ego bruised by being rejected so quickly. I've had three other dates since then and Ive learnt how different it is to regular dates.

Oh, I thought you were coming back to thread to say that the man had contacted you... to go out for a piece of cake.

You'll get used to it, a few more dates and you'll find it's a piece of cake.

I agree with Soupy.

The situation in which you do anything in order to have a few more minutes with him is in direct opposition to the situation where you said which way you were going first.

They are not two descriptions of the same situation. They are different situations.

Unless you had secretly found out ahead of time which way he was going, so you could say first that you were going that way?

Are you revising your own memories after we said that his behaviour was fine and it was yours that was unusual?

Right he is a weirdo. Text me this morning just saying "morning" I foolishly replied "morning" hours ago and nothing back! Wtf

I think most posters on this site are going to be bemused that you are irritated by your failed date buying cake but blasé (relative to the average view of mumsnet) about men sleeping with Thai prostitutes.

TBJ, you are as odd as each other. Why on earth did you respond????? And why are you uoset he hasn't replied given you had already decided he was awful????

he probably texted you in error OP

move on, move on,do not give him a moments more thought

He obviously didn't mean to text you. He must have had a heart attack when you replied! Forget him!

Delete his number! And if you do send him anymore messages, let them be to tell him to delete yours.

I heard something funny on that "call centre" documentary a few months ago that might be a good mantra for online dating.

Apparently they teach their recruits the saying "SW,SW,SW...Next!" Which stands for "Some will, some won't, so what?....next!" Move on op, there is undoubtably someone better suited to you that you've yet to meet.

He is weird. Ignore!

Oh well we'll never know, it was on WhatsApp.

I'm not blase about the Thai women but I don't judge them if I don't know their story and don't tar everyone with the same brush.

Thai women?!?!
