Spiteful date

155 replies

I’ve met someone on a dating site, we’ve been chatting about a month, we’re making plans to meet in April.

She has confessed that she has a spiteful streak.
She has also said she sometimes shouts and screams when upset.
She has also said that in the past she would throw or hit things sometimes, but that she no longer does this.

Otherwise we have got along so well.

In light of these latest revelations, would you cancel the first date, or would you go ahead and see what happens?

I'd cancel. She's testing the water to see your reaction to her telling you this, if you accept this now she can say further down the line that she was upfront from the start.

Giant red flags

LApprentiSorcier · 12/03/2021 12:43

Far too much drama. Not sure what game she is playing by admitting all this, but I would walk away.

I would cancel. When someone tells you who they are you should listen.

toomuchtooold · 12/03/2021 12:44

Cancel. My experience of people who tell you this sort of stuff is that it's the absolute tip of the iceberg.

What @itbemay1 said. Do you really want to pursue a relationship with someone who has admitted that they are capable of violence? It wouldn't be me. I would probably thank her for her honesty but decide to call it quits before it goes any further.

greeneyedlulu · 12/03/2021 12:46

its a no from me! you cant change arseholes like this so why put yourself in the firing line to begin with.

ihatethecold · 12/03/2021 12:46

I would ask her what therapy she has had to help her manage her anger.
Then decide what to do.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 12/03/2021 12:47

Exactly what itbemay and too much have said.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 12/03/2021 12:47

Run for the hills. She is telling you what she is, you will have a dogs life with her.

LibrariesGiveUsPower45321 · 12/03/2021 12:47

Run a flipping mile!

Sahm101 · 12/03/2021 12:47

Giant flags. if you pursue this and it happens to you then you only have yourself to blame. She is letting you know, so that when she does it you were warned so you start questioning yourself. Don't do it.

idontlikealdi · 12/03/2021 12:47

Fuck that.

DrManhattan · 12/03/2021 12:48

Don't do it

DrSbaitso · 12/03/2021 12:49

Cancel and never look back.

Blueuggboots · 12/03/2021 12:50

And then when she behaves like this to you and you say it's not acceptable, she's going to say"I did warn you!" Isn't she?!
I'd tel get to get help for those issues and learn how to adult and then maybe she'll be ready fir a relationship.

littlepattilou · 12/03/2021 12:51

I can't believe you even have to ask.

The woman is unhinged.

Blueuggboots · 12/03/2021 12:51

Tell her to get help for her issues
That should say!!

CanofCant · 12/03/2021 12:51

Cancel.

TheWaif · 12/03/2021 12:53

Surely you don't still find her attractive after saying that?

frogswimming · 12/03/2021 12:55

Are you serious? If she's telling you about it it's to test your reaction to what she can get away with. Of course you should cancel.

Cas112 · 12/03/2021 12:55

If she is happy telling you this about her, think about things she's not comfortable to tell you just yet!!

badacorn · 12/03/2021 12:56

Cancel.

JackieWeaverHandforthCouncil · 12/03/2021 12:56

Cancel. She’s getting her poor behaviour excuses in early.
