To ditch baseball cap wearing date

[Bubblegumicecream]

Currently sitting in a nice bar on a first date arranged through mutual friend... and said date is wearing a fucking baseball cap.

Smart shoes. Smart jeans. Smart top. Well groomed. Handsome. Then polishes it off with a bright white baseball cap which is almost burning my eyeballs.

I know for a fact he's not bald. Imo baseball caps are reserved for baseball fans, playing tennis, playing golf, children, chavs.

I just imagine him laying his outfit out for tonight and thinking 'yes, this finishes me off nicely. She'll love this cap!'.

Seriously thinking of making a dash for it when he goes for a bathroom break. Could write 'baseball cap?' in lipstick on a napkin so he gets the message.

Wwyd?

Eww. Have you not mentioned it yet? I wouldn't be able to help myself. "Bad hair day or just a bit chilly on the balding bit?"

My ds does this. Dresses fab, looks great and then the baseball cap. He has a great head of care and is into his haircuts. I think he panicked at the last minute and thinks it looks like he made too much of an effort so sticks on the cap to tone it down.
He is actually a great guy so maybe give him a chance.
But l bloody hate baseball caps!

I wear a hat most of the time (work allows it) Partly because I don't need to worry about my hair, partly because I feel better wearing it. To be honest I feel a bit naked without it.
I am a nice person though 😊

Leave. If I were him I wouldn't want to date anyone who uses the word chav.

I would, sorry, especially if worn indoors or at the table.

Very American. Maybe he’s going through a phase?

If he has a good personality give him a chance .. and then gently suggest he removes it if you happen to go on a second date and he turns up with it on again ..

I'd run for the hills.

Is he wearing it backwards? That would, I suppose, be even worse...

Ugh. Run.

perhaps he's just testing your non judgemental skills.......

That made me lol! It wouldn’t be a dealbreaker for me if he was otherwise great, although on the whole I agree with your opinion on the time and place for baseball caps!

Just ask him why he's wearing it, out of interest.

If it was love it wouldn't matter.

Dp has a baseball cap and I hate it. Luckily he makes up for it in other ways but I'm not sure we'd be together if he'd worn it on our first date

Is he wearing it inside? >

well at least he can take a baseball cap off - no big deal. I’m not sure without seeing it on whether I would like it or not but I suspect since you’ve obviously sat on a date on your phone for at least five minutes to write that post I would bin you off for general rudeness.

Yes ybu

But you should leave... do him a favour

Can you imagine what the response would be if a Male wrote

Woman turned up, dressed smart, clean but is wearing a leather jacket. /pumps.

Lomg as hes clean and has made a effort (so no clothes with holes in etc.. madly mismatched clothes) what's it matter if he wears a hat.

A friend used to wear baseball caps because of his OCD - give him a chance!

I have one of those Trinny and Suzannah ' What Not to Wear' books and it clearly states that there is never any reason to wear a baseball cap

HTH

I would have to ask him - are you going to take that cap off?

PP you wouldn't date anyone who uses the word chav? Give over ffs.

OP embrace this shit. Ask him to remove it or leave it be and enjoy your last drink. He may be covering alopecia, bad hair day, or maybe he has a different fashion sense to you

How old are we talking here?

I want to tell you you’re being horribly judgemental and it shouldn’t matter... but it’s a baseball cap 😱

No I wouldn't. The word is vile.

Ask him to ditch it. If he won’t, there’s your answer.
