Amazing job walking away! I was angry just reading his behavior. You did the right thing. His actions and words don’t line up! Thank you for sharing - such a relatable experience- being devalued in subtle ways as a woman.

Yessss 😎 I loved the attitude and I'm very proud of you 😍

It's so weird how some people (not only men) show no respect for their dates..

I really enjoyed your story, take care!

wow, that must have been sort of surreal... I wonder how that other girl's date must have felt too. In the old days we would have just called it rude. Really proud of you to for standing up for yourself!

What was it your first date with him and you sound like you already fell in Love with him,that's a red flag.Maybe he just wanted to be your friend.Sounds very clingy and insecure.Dont make others responsible for your happiness.

Hey. I can see your perspective if we were just hanging out and he was only looking for friendship with me, but we were on a romantic date. Perhaps you can agree that if you are on a date with someone and feel it appropriate to put your energy into someone else, that it’s not a good start for either person.

I don’t fall in love easily, but I can be honest that I did enjoy conversing with him and was hopeful.

His lack of thinking it was a big deal was his prerogative - my feeling was that it was unacceptable to me.

It really is okay for people when dating to have expectations and to be able to have mature conversations about them. We ended things with no drama. There was no ghosting necessary or unnecessary meanness towards eachother. 🙏😊
