She Went On A Coffee Date With A Guy That She Can Only Classify As Bonkers
Sometimes leaving bad dating experiences in the past is the best way to go. But it can often be hard to say no when suddenly an old fling wants to rekindle the relationship.
For TikTok creator Courtney Noe, @knowcourtneynoe, her first date with a guy who wanted to try again at their relationship didn’t go so smoothly.
“I just had the weirdest date that I probably shouldn’t have even gone on,” she said in a video. “Bad call on my part for tending this.”
She explains in her video that one of her old dates reached out to her after a long time of not speaking to each other. He wanted to pick things up again.
“This man texted me,” she said. “He was like, ‘Hey, we were supposed to hang out a while back and fell off. I wanted to see if you were still interested?’.”
Granted, at first, she was surprised and confused by this text, given that he didn’t mention who he was.
They clearly didn’t have enough of a relationship prior to this for him to be reaching out to her again–he was so minute she didn’t even remember him. Still, she agreed to go.
“He’s like, ‘Okay, cool, maybe we can do a phone call,'” she said. “I’m like, ‘How about we just like grab a coffee?'”

It’s definitely odd: he wants to rekindle their relationship, but his first instinct wasn’t to meet in person, rather over the phone? The red flags started flying for Courtney.
They decide to meet at a local coffee shop for a date. After a long parking fiasco that she had to deal with at the parking meter, she finally made it into the shop. To her dismay, he wasn’t quite what she had hoped for. He carried with him an off-putting attitude and bizarre behavior.
“So I walk up, and he’s already sitting down with a drink,” Courtney explained. “He doesn’t get up. He goes, ‘Wow, you’re really dressed up. I’m just chillin’ casual.'”
If you wanted to comment on her outfit, there are better ways of doing it than throwing her a backhanded compliment.
“You could have just said I looked nice,” she said. “This is just how I normally dress–but I’m sorry for doing so.”
She sarcastically emphasized certain points when she retold her thoughts on the situation, clearly, and rightfully put off by his remarks.
“So I’m just awkwardly standing there while he’s still sitting down,” she said. He asks her if she’s going to order anything to drink– he doesn’t offer to pay.
“I’ll go get myself a coffee,” she said. “I get a coffee, I come out, I sit down. He goes, ‘You’re not really feeling me, are you?'”
Now she feels even more uncomfortable with the situation, and especially with that question. She says that she just met him for the first time 5 minutes before, so how is she supposed to feel a connection so quickly?
Regardless, she stays to try to make it work. But it gets weirder still.
“Then I see a tow truck drive up,” she said. To make the date worse, his car is about to be towed because he didn’t park in the right spot, so he has to run out and leave her alone to go and move it.
When they finally decided to just call the date off early, since so much has gone on, he decides to walk with her back to her car but bails halfway through.
“My car is a block and a half away. We walk half a block,” she said. “He goes, ‘Oh, you’re farther than this? Ok, I’ll see you later!'”
In hindsight, she’s laughing at it now, but it wasn’t necessarily funny in the moment. She tried to hug him goodbye, to which he returned with a wimpy side hug, she said.
Although the entire date wasn’t a success, she did walk away with two invaluable pieces of information about herself:
“Now, another thing I need to ask for on the list of needs is, knows how to read a parking sign and knows how to pay for parking,” she said. “Those are two must-haves on the dating wheel of fortune.”
