To think he was slightly rude on our date?

Weirdest date ever. Been seeing a man for a little while and have been on three dates, it was going well and he seems nice. Anyway, third date yesterday and we went for a meal in a fancy- ish pub. I had grilled chicken, potatoes and veg and finished my whole dinner, as normal. Didn’t finish it overly quick or before him, just ate it all.

Anyway, my date turns to me and says “Jesus you’ve polished that off haven’t you?”. I looked at him confused and said well yes, it’s my dinner and he just laughed and smirked. I changed the subject but felt a bit weird after. Was he making a jibe at me? I am a size 14, and guess curvy and slightly sensitive. I’ve been off with him today and don’t know if I’m being unreasonable.

If there is a pattern of these kind of inferences then he’d be gone. If just one comment (and otherwise green flags) I may dismiss it as clumsy and not thought out … but I’d keep on guard for similar.
You might want to do him a favour if you are feeling kind…and let him know why you are cooling off - give him a life lesson!

The smirk means he knew what he was saying was a dig. What a pathetic twat.

the dinner was £19 for basic chicken and potatoes! Of course I was going to finish it all😂😭

Damn right!!!!! When I go out to eat it's basically Me vs Food!!!! Even if I'm going to explode, every single crumb is off that plate 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

It could have been a throw-away comment but it's still a dick thing to say.

It's very greedy to want another thread so soon after the last one. Do you really need a competitive eating thread? We've lost sight of what a healthy amount of threads looks like.

I couldn't possibly stomach another thread so soon, one massive thread lasts a month in this house and we have 15 strapping 6ft sporty sons!

Nope, he’s already judging and devaluing you after 3 dates. Get rid sharpish!!!
