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.

You should have made your excuses and left as soon as you read the messages, and definitely not told him. As this is only your fourth date, you really don't know this man or what he could be capable of when rejected. I hope you got home safely OP.

Grab your phone OP and your self respect…

You sound lovely, he sounds like a twat. You could do better I’m sure

GettingItOutThere · 13/08/2021 23:13

you dont need to be polite here, get out. now

mummymayhem18 · 13/08/2021 23:15

I'd leave. What a dick

gardeninggirl68 · 13/08/2021 23:23

leaving a partner/boyfriend is the most dangerous part of a relationship breakup....regardless of how new it is

the op should not have been told to mess about making playlists/leaving a mess in the toilet or anything else, thats just irresponsible. some men don't take rejection well and this could have endangered the op. we haven't heard from her.......so i'm really hoping she is safe and not another statistic

Awkward- hope all is ok

thinkingaboutLangCleg · 13/08/2021 23:34

OP, please let us know you got home safely. I hope you’re all right. I can’t sleep for thinking of you, remembering times when I was young, trusting, drunk and in danger.

TinkerPony · 13/08/2021 23:35

Hope you home safe

Themadcatparade · 13/08/2021 23:39

Op, you should have sent a message to him pretending it was for your friend and said he’s not your type etc etc… done one over on him!

Sorry your night didn’t go so well

FairFuming · 13/08/2021 23:40

I'd have left. You'll never totally forget this if yous started dating

CharlieBoo · 13/08/2021 23:42

Hope you’re ok

Myunicornis · 13/08/2021 23:52

Are you OK OP?!

me4real · 14/08/2021 00:04

Go home now, just walk out and call a taxi or something. Let us know when you're home safe @doesthiscomewithfries xxx

Frazzled2207 · 14/08/2021 00:05

Please let us know you are ok OP

Friendofdennis · 14/08/2021 00:13

Please let us know that you are safe

OrlandointheWilderness · 14/08/2021 00:14

Ah it's not going to get better is it op. Best leave now. Hope you are okay.

Jackthementalkitten · 14/08/2021 00:18

I had similar op, I walked out ( eventually) - him begging me not too go and standing by the door refusing too let me leave. I hope you got home safely and told him to piss off. Flowers

Maves · 14/08/2021 00:21

Wow this is ott...how far back was the message even? He saw you again so must like you maybe not so much now though......

AnnieSnap · 14/08/2021 00:22

@onlymyselftoanswerto1

Leave. And leave the phone open at the messages so he knows exactly why you've left....
This ☝️

Are you for real??
DukeOfEarlGrey · 14/08/2021 00:35

Hope that you got home safe and sound OP?

Deedee121 · 14/08/2021 00:36

Hope all is okay

Doublestar · 14/08/2021 00:41

Hmmm....I couldn't decide whether my date "wasn't my type" a couple of dates in and was still dating another other men. I wasn't used to men like him (older, educated, a bit eccentric)
A few dates later I started to really like him..stopped seeing the other guys.
20 years later were married with four dc's. He's the love of my life. It's not always love at first sight 🤷‍♀️

HaveringWavering · 14/08/2021 00:42

2 or 3 dates in with my now DH I told our mutual friend that I wasn’t sure he “did it” for me (we had already slept together). She convinced me to stick with him and everything clicked shortly afterwards; we have never looked back, just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary and our amazing DS will be 5 next week. I wouldn’t worry too much about what he said.

Hope you are home safe
