He Asked His Girlfriend To Change Her Outfit And Dress Better For Their Date Night, But She Wound Up Canceling Their Dinner Altogether

This guy from Dubai is currently in a relationship, and over the weekend, he decided to go out to dinner with his girlfriend.
He wound up suggesting that they visit a more fancy restaurant, too, and his girlfriend agreed to do that. So, he searched for a joint online and ultimately found an upscale Chinese restaurant.
Afterward, he showed his girlfriend the restaurant, and she claimed that the place was cool. That’s why they decided to spend the evening of their date night there.
But, once dinnertime rolled around, he realized that his girlfriend had just decided to wear some “worn down jeans” and a simple t-shirt.
He, on the other hand, was planning to wear a pair of chinos and a polo shirt. Apparently, the restaurant had a dress code known as “smart elegant,” which isn’t super dressy but not too casual, either.
So, he ended up asking his girlfriend why she had not put on a dress, given the restaurant’s dress code and the fact that his girlfriend usually prefers to wear dresses on nice outings.
But she just replied that she did not feel like wearing one that night.
“Uhh, okay, but I told you that it’s a fancy place,” he responded.
Still, at that point, his girlfriend claimed that they were going to “just a Chinese restaurant.”

But, according to him, they were not going to be eating at a “regular” Chinese restaurant. And to prove his point, he decided to pull up the restaurant’s Instagram account.
“To show her their feed to convince her that it is upscale,” he added.
However, his girlfriend did not even want to look at his phone. But he looked at a few different posts and stories on the restaurant’s social pages and saw how, in most of the images, the women were all a bit dressed up.
And he claimed that he just did not want his girlfriend to feel uncomfortable once they arrived at the restaurant– because, apparently, she is pretty self-conscious.
That’s why he decided to ask his girlfriend for a second time to dress more “appropriately” for their date night. But, after that, she just got pretty angry and actually said they wouldn’t be going to dinner anywhere that evening. Plus, ever since canceling their plans, his girlfriend also has not spoken to him.
“She usually likes to dress up, even when we go to a bar,” he vented. “This is leaving me confused.”
So now, ever since the canceled date night, he’s been left wondering whether asking his girlfriend to dress better for dinner made him a real jerk or not.
Do you think he offended his girlfriend by asking her to change her outfit? Do you think he had a right to ask, given the fact that the restaurant was upscale, or did that not matter? If you had been in his girlfriend’s shoes, how would you have reacted? How should he reconcile this situation?
