I had a first date yesterday evening, which was a bank holiday where I live.
We had been chatting for about a week and he asked for a drink date. It was arranged for last Thursday, but he said last Monday that a work dinner came up and could we move to yesterday.
The place he selected in (small) city centre and is like a hipster food mall. Loads of different authentic ethnic foods places that prepared on site and then mass seating. It isn’t inconvenient for me, but it’s within walking distance of his place.
We met and he got the first drinks, (a half pint for him) and a non-alcoholic drink for me.
Then I said, oh do you want to order food? He said No, I don’t eat in the evenings, just go to the gym. So I ordered (and paid) for a shareable Meze plate and offered him at regular intervals, of which he ate zero.
The conversation was interesting enough but not flirty at all. We did end up chatting for three hours. He sent a nice message afterwards.
However, the not eating felt massively stingy to me, and I’m tempted to just block.
Do you think it’s an over reaction?
