I Asked Out a Woman I Liked to a Restaurant but Blocked Her Right after Our Date
A man experienced a dating disaster after meeting a woman on a dating app. He decided halfway through their third date that he could no longer stand to be around the woman and went to drastic lengths to escape.
A 28-year-old man decided when the COVID-19 pandemic had somewhat diminished that he would try dating apps to meet women. While he only physically met these women once they talked for two or three weeks, it didn't spare him from an experience he wished he never had.

He had struck out with a couple of women before the disastrous date's ending which led him to ask for the opinions of others.
After talking to one woman for a few weeks, the man set up their first date. They went out and had coffee, got along well, and everything went great.

The date was a success, so a second one followed, and soon a third date at a casual and affordable restaurant where they could sit outside.
As the man waited for the woman to arrive, he had no idea that he would be sneaking out early.

The man arrived at the restaurant before his date and waited for her before he found a table. When she arrived, the woman told him she had forgotten her wallet and asked if he could pay for them. He agreed as the restaurant was affordable.
However, he soon began noticing red flags. The first thing she did he disagreed with, was being rude to the waitress. She told the waitress she had taken too long to come to the table even though it had been mere minutes.

The woman then ordered a beverage, which she didn't like once it arrived. She told the waitress it was not what she had ordered, and wanted a new one. The demands continued as she then wanted entrees, which he didn't mind too much because he likes them too. The turning point for him was fast approaching.
"But then she ordered the most expensive entree on the menu and a little lightbulb went off in my head. She ate half her entree and then decided that it wasn't good and asked for a new one," he wrote. The man had then had all he could take from his date and knew he had to do something.

He got up and told his date he was going to the bathroom. Instead, he went to find their waitress. "[I] explained that this girl sucked, and I was leaving but wanted to pay my half of the bill. I also told her that if she told my date that she had no idea where I went, I would give her an extra $20 in addition to the tip," he explained.

After he left, it took his date twenty minutes to realize something was amiss, at which point she began texting him and asking where he was. When she realized what had happened, she asked him how she would pay for her food without a wallet.
When the man got home, he blocked the woman. His roommate did not agree with his actions, so he took to Reddit for opinions. He soon got responses.
Many people agreed with the man's roommate, saying he didn't need to leave the way he did and could have instead told her he was not enjoying the date or how she was acting and wanted to go.
While this man experienced horror during his date, one man experienced horror before his date even began when the woman refused to leave the car after seeing their date's destination. Find the full story here.
