Help. I'm on a date. I've read a text about me...

I'm on a forth date with a guy. He's cooking. Left me in charge of his phone for Spotify.

It's not an iPhone. I don't know what I'm doing. I get out of the app. I panic. Hit another button. Whatsapp. It's a chat with a friend of his where he's detailing what we got up to on our last date.

Also scrolling back. I'm half a bottle of wine down. He says he might not see me again as I'm not his type.

Sooooo. What do I do now. I feel like crap.

Bizarre thread.

languagelover96 · 14/08/2021 10:14

Leave a note and then leave. Block his number and also take the bottle of wine with you.

I wonder what they had for dinner? liver. With some fava beans and a nice chianti. Wink

I was once in a similar situation in my early 20's, a bit tipsy, unsure, had lost my keys and coerced into staying by a man who kept trying to get me more and more drunk. I DO think the poster was vulnerable. When someone says they want to leave, the answer is not to top up their glass and encourage them to drink more.

I'm concerned the OP hasn't checked back tbh....

@SnatchCassidy

I wonder what they had for dinner?
I'm going with Beef Wellington.

Takes some time and concentration, so the person they are cooking for has sufficient time to stalk a phone.

And Spotify playlists don't need to have someone in charge. Isn't that the point, of you know, putting on a playlist.

A guy cannot chat to a friend about how his life is going, but it's perfectly OK for a woman to invade his privacy apparently.

The OP is probably enjoying intercourse as we speak.

FlyingRabbitsAtNoon · 14/08/2021 10:24

Rather than her being someone who puts herself at risk possibly, by getting drunk (and that means anywhere not just a man's house).

That's is NOT victim blaming, it's telling women to not get drunk!

That’s the very definition of victim blaming.

I was reading this last night. I think it’s likely he’s explained, they spend the night together and OP is fine. She will come home and either feel satisfied about the situation or feel upset on her return. Either way, it’s neither helpful to be shouting that he’s an abuser or she’s stupid for getting drunk.

SnatchCassidy · 14/08/2021 10:31

Probably making bubble and squeak from the leftovers now.

ticktockriojaoclock · 14/08/2021 11:08

Wow, this thread is seriously nuts
Absolutely, in that its a great demonstration of how willing people are to believe (and invest in) anything they read online.

Probably making bubble and squeak from the leftovers now.
Is that a euphemism?
jellylegsbegone · 14/08/2021 11:13

Hope you got home OP, and that the next date is more of a laugh than last night’s one!

SnatchCassidy · 14/08/2021 11:13

A euphemism for sloppy seconds?

Lolabray · 14/08/2021 11:37

@thedancingbear Grin true

Wherearemymarbles · 14/08/2021 11:38

Seems everyone has got hot and bothered about absolutely nothing

Doubt we’ll see the op again so MN should just delete this.

Some truly foul comments on here this morning!

Maze76 · 14/08/2021 12:39

Hope you are ok?

midsomermurderess · 14/08/2021 12:42

Back to black: someone with no previous posting history, Friday evening, 3 posts, thoroughly unlikely scenario, never, and clearly no intention of coming back. Can you work out what has been going on here? Why this has descended in to a piss take? Go on, give it a go.

Backtoblack1 · 14/08/2021 12:43

Not nice whatever.

stayathomer · 14/08/2021 13:05

Hope when mondo the thing of suspending a thread and they say they're looking into things, that they have a way of checking (do we give phone numbers or addresses on mn?)) I can't remember. Hope we do and op is ok

stayathomer · 14/08/2021 13:06

That was 'mn do' not mondo!!!!

Do you really think that someone from MN is going to phone the OP because she hasn't replied to a thread? Confused
ticktockriojaoclock · 14/08/2021 13:38

Amazing.

midsomermurderess · 14/08/2021 13:44

When MN says they're looking behind the scenes, they are checking out the posting history, are they a PBP. They are not carrying out welfare checks.
