2nd date, sat in restaurant and we each had a glass of wine. He commented that he wasn’t keen on the wine and said he’d get a soft drink next time. I finished my drink and he had half of his glass left so I said I was going to get another drink and did he want to get a soft drink now or was he going to finish his wine. He picked up the glass, tipped the wine onto the floor (!!!!!!) and said “finished” and laughed. Several people saw him do it. I was mortified and said “did you really just tip that onto the floor??” And he acted like he was a bit embarrassed but laughed and said he didn’t like it. Waitress came across, noticed the puddle on the floor and he laughed and said “sorry about that” whilst looking at me like he was expecting me to laugh.

after the date he messaged me saying he’d had a good time and asked if I had and I replied “I’m still processing the sight of someone purposely spilling half a glass of wine onto a restaurant floor….” And he replied “still on that? Seriously? 😂”

am I over reacting?? It’s really put me off

Jokes 🤣🤣It’s incredibly odd, rude and downright weird!

SleepingStandingUp · 15/07/2026 21:16

There wouldn't have been a 2nd half of the 2nd date!

changeme4this · 15/07/2026 21:43

Can you imagine a time down the track with this jerk, having cooked a meal that he decides he doesn’t like, he tips it over the floor..

End it and dont communicate with him again.

sadly I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes a further nuisance of himself when you do that..

RampantIvy · 15/07/2026 21:54

@Magnesiun are you going to update?

Literally this. I've seen toddlers behave far better than this at dinner.

CitizenofMoronia · 15/07/2026 22:24

he's testing your boundaries, show him where they are .. and the door. you can always judge a man by how he treats waiting staff.

homeiswherethecoffeeis · 15/07/2026 22:37

How much wine has he had before he did this? I mean was he drunk?

He's a knob and doesnt give a shit that someone now has to sort that out.

You really shouldn't date toddlers!

Dont accuse OP of being a paedophile please. Wether it was tongue or cheek or not, mud sticks so think before you post. Thankyou.

Morepositivemum · 15/07/2026 23:40

Someone had to clean up after his stupid ‘joke’- what an absolute asshole!!!

Exit stage left. Horrible little man.

Hell no, red flag, no third date. That entitlement and indication of what he thinks is appropriate behaviour (& what he thinks of hospitality workers who are some of our least rewarded but hardest workers would put me right off)

How does this suggest being a paedophile?!!! That is not at all how it comes across or is meant and it's meaning is well known. I think you have the problem here I'm afraid.

theodoretrout · 16/07/2026 03:29

Useful to consider places like restaurants or airports as laboratories of human behaviour. A metric that has never let me down is to take very seriously the way people act in these places, especially if a person is set to be come an important one in your life.

I recall my son told me he had a date with someone who talked to a waitress like a piece of dirt. My suspicious were later borne out.

You're very lucky that you've got such an early warning before you've become more deeply attached and entangled. I would say run and don't look back.

I was wondering this as well. The thread is going on 17 pages and the OP hasn’t returned.

Response ...

Second date showed you to be arrogant.
Sorry. No future in seeing you again.

Best of luck.

Todayismyfavouriteday · 16/07/2026 04:49

I'd never see him again.

Really not sure why you even need confirmation that this is total undisputed dickhead behaviour! 🙄
