He Was Brutally Honest When He Told His Mom’s Friend Why He Would Never Date Her Daughter And He’s Asking The Internet If He Should’ve Been Nicer
Yesterday, a guy was over at his mom’s home to get some things, and his mom’s friend Carla happened to be there at the same time as him.
He met Carla a while ago, and she is the mom of a daughter that is the same age that he is. Prior to yesterday, Carla had made comments to him about having him meet her daughter.
Anyway, as he was going between his mom’s house and his car moving some things, he could hear Carla saying to his mom that she really wanted her daughter to “get her life together and meet someone nice.”
He already is well aware that Carla’s daughter is not someone he would ever want to go on a date with.
“Her daughter was in a 2 year college for 4 years and then dropped out, which is normal and not bad,” he explained.
“Then she had a decent job and quit because “it was boring”. She has a drug problem and is in and out of rehab, and she bounces from one guy to the next and somehow gets them to pay her bills.”
So, that’s precisely why he has zero interest in Carla’s daughter.
Carla straight up inquired if he was single or not, and after he admitted that he was, she continued to try to get him to agree to take her daughter on a date.
Carla said her daughter desperately needs a nice man, to which he replied he was quite busy and tried to avoid the conversation.

Carla was relentless though, and she kept at him about taking her daughter out, going so far as to ask when he could be free.
He really did his best to downplay the situation, but Carla wouldn’t quit. Fed up, he set her straight.
“Well, I’m not really into girls that don’t have a job and have addiction problems,” he finally said.
Carla lost it on him, calling him rude. He ended up leaving, and then his mom called him. She feels he could have been nicer and the way he handled things was rude since Carla wasn’t trying to be mean.
His mom continued to say he acted like a snob and a jerk, and he’s wondering if he should have done things differently.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“We need to have the Fleetwood Mac song “Oh Well” playing on this post. The famous line from the song is “Don’t ask me what I think of you, Might not give the answer that you want me to.”
“It’s a great song too so check it out. I agree dating someone who knows has a drug issue is never a good idea. Never.”
“And like, addiction aside, it’s not the job of a relationship, let alone a specific person in a relationship to fix someone.”
“There are a lot of people willing to look past someone’s obvious character flaws just because they are attractive, or rich, and think they will be able to “fix” their partner.”
“Unfortunately, people are not houses. You can’t just pick a person with good bones and double their market value with a little elbow grease.”
“Seriously, people don’t hear no the first time… or first 20 times, and then get upset when you finally break down and tell them what’s up.”
“Carla wasn’t trying to be nice. She was trying to use you. She was trying to get you to spend at least a few hours, and, she hoped, substantially more time, getting her daughter on a better track.”
“Carla’s the kid’s mom. That’s her job. Not yours. You didn’t lay things out until you felt cornered. 100% justified.”
