He Left In The Middle of A Date Because The Girl Chewed With Her Mouth Open
This 20-year-old man’s friend recently helped match him up with a girl named Maria, 21, whom his friend knew from a study group.
He’s struggled to get out of his comfort zone in order to meet women and try to find someone he’s compatible with, but he was open to a date, and it turned out that, according to his friend, Maria was in the same boat.
So, he messaged Maria on Instagram, and they chatted for several days before they planned to have dinner together at a nice restaurant.
In preparation for the upcoming date, he got his hair cut, bought a new outfit, and was looking forward to spending time with Maria.
At first, the date was pretty normal and what he was expecting.
“It started off awkward, but then we both slowly let loose and became more comfortable. All in all, she seems like a nice girl to talk to,” he said.
However, when their food was brought to the table, the date quickly took a turn for the worse.
“I realized she chews with her mouth open. That was my biggest pet peeve as a kid,” he explained.
His father’s teeth were in rough shape, and he would chew his food with his mouth wide open. It was so revolting for him to watch that he’d have to request to leave the dining room table, and ever since, he hasn’t been able to deal with people who don’t close their mouths while eating.

“With her, it wasn’t just chewing with her mouth open. It was also loud smacking noises. She was eating like she hadn’t eaten in three weeks, was slurping her food, and making aggressive ‘nom nom’ sounds,” he continued.
He expressed that he doesn’t have any problems with women eating the amount of food they want, with no apologies. His issues with the way Maria ate her meal had nothing to do with the common unfair complaint of how women shouldn’t eat a lot in public.
He acknowledged that he could eat a large amount of food at one time, so it wasn’t related to the amount of food she was consuming because he would never look down on anyone for something like that.
His concerns stemmed from the fact that she clearly didn’t have any table etiquette and was acting completely rude and gross.
To try to confront the situation head-on, he asked Maria as kindly as possible to keep her mouth closed while chewing her food, letting her know that she was making a lot of sounds when she chewed with her mouth open. Maria looked irritated with him, but she said she was sorry.
He told her it was okay and continued by explaining how it was a particular annoyance of his that he wasn’t able to brush aside. He then added an apology to soften the blow.
But less than a minute later, Maria went right back to chewing with her mouth open.
“I looked up at her and told her, ‘You’re doing it again,’ but she got more upset this time and told me to mind my own business and let her enjoy her food,'” he shared.
Right after that, he told her that was fine, and he left the table to go pay for his portion of the meal at the front of the restaurant before walking out.
The following day, his friend who had matched him up with Maria in the first place called him in a rage about what happened. She said that he was a cruel person and told him that Maria spent the rest of the night sobbing because of how he’d treated her. When he tried to tell her his side of the story, his friend kept screaming over him, so he hung up on her.
After the date, Maria blocked him on Instagram, which didn’t come as much of a surprise to him.
Even though his friend was furious with him, he didn’t have any regrets for how he acted. He wondered if he should have left the date as soon as he did, but at the same time, he doesn’t think that expecting the person he goes on a date with to have table manners is asking for too much.
Do you think he did the right thing by leaving the date with Maria?
