On Her First Date With A Guy, He Gave Her A Performance Review And Talked About All the Things He Didn’t Like About Her For 4 Minutes Straight
We all have our bad date stories. We’ve all gone through the awkward first dates, where it’s a bunch of small talks, not even really breaking the surface of who the other is and what they are truly like.
We both have a mask on that covers our insecurities. And then there are the dates when some people are too honest about things.
One TikToker shared one bad date experience she had recently, and it seemed to be going well at first.
“Buckle up. I got a bad date story… If you don’t know me, I’m Em. I’m single in Toronto, and I’m a recruiter and apparently am bad at dating,” she explained.
To label oneself as bad at dating is a pretty negative thing to say. What makes someone bad at dating, and does all the blame really lie on the shoulders of only one date participant or both?
“So several months ago, I go on a date with a guy I already knew through mutual friends,” she continued.
“So I was really optimistic about this date. We out for drinks. The conversations seemed good. We primarily talked about reality tv, what do you do on the weekends, you know, we kept it surface level.”
“It was a first date. Except about an hour and a half in, he looks at me and was like … So I work in HR, and I made a joke that at the end of every date, I give a performance review, and he asked for his. And I like laughed it off.”

That’s actually a pretty interesting way to end a date. Like critique what was good, what worked, and what you didn’t like (maybe if there is going to be a second date). It’s a unique way to incorporate what she does for a living into the first-date information that is shared.
Apparently, the guy didn’t necessarily like that she didn’t want to give him his performance review when he asked for it. And that’s when the date turned sour.
“He looks at me dead serious and goes, ‘well, I want to tell you what I think of you,’ and I was gearing for a compliment, and I did not receive a compliment,” she said.
“The dude looks at me and goes, ‘Let me tell you what I think.’ and he goes off, 4 minutes straight, of how I should open up more, even though it’s a first date, we were literally talking about love is blind. Talks about how I need to soften, how I need to open up more, and how I’m pretending to be smart. Basically, just dogs on me for a couple of minutes. And then he cuts himself off. He’s like, ‘wait a second, I don’t mean that. I’m just saying that because I’m intimidated by you.’ Or something like that.”
She honestly just sat there with nothing to say because he totally ruined their date. She quickly got up and walked out.
Of all the things to say because you claim to be intimidated by your date, accusing your date of pretending to be smart is pretty insane. Like what? Why would someone even think that is a good idea? The guy obviously didn’t think about what he was saying and just had diarrhea of the mouth.
