He Decided To Order And Eat Dinner Before His Date Could Even Arrive At The Restaurant, And The Woman He Went Out With Called Him Out For Being Rude
While some individuals are self-proclaimed “foodies” who love to try out different dishes, this guy is not one of those people. Instead, he only eats in order to feel satiated, and he doesn’t view dining out as a whole experience.
“I’ll often eat at home before dinner outings just because I don’t want to wait and rather enjoy the experience of the outing, which, for me, doesn’t involve the eating portion,” he revealed.
Well, this became an issue when he actually met a girl online, and they agreed to go out to dinner for their first date.
It all began when, on the day of their date, he and the girl decided to meet at a restaurant at 9:00 p.m. Leading up to that, he claimed to have had a very busy day, and he didn’t even get to eat lunch.
So, by the time 8:00 p.m. rolled around, he was absolutely starving. That’s why he decided to just get ready and head to the restaurant.
“I like getting to a date early so I can check out the environment, pick the best seats, and just prepare in general. So, I arrived about 45 minutes early this time,” he explained.
He was obviously still starving, though, which is why he actually decided to just start eating to “get it out of the way.”
Otherwise, he thought he would be cranky and hungry while he waited about an hour or so before he could eat with his date.
This pushed him to order some dinner, and he wound up finishing his whole meal and ordering a cocktail by the time his date was nearly at the restaurant.

Once she finally arrived, they immediately hit it off, too. He detailed how the woman was smiling, touching his hand, and they were both engaging in some great conversations.
However, she eventually asked if he wanted to order some food, and he just flat-out told her no– admitting that he wasn’t hungry.
At that point, his date began insisting that he get something. After all, she didn’t want to eat alone.
Nonetheless, he refused to budge and kept telling her not to worry. He also said that he was enjoying his cocktail, so she should order something.
Anyway, this led to them calling over the waiter and his date began asking for some meal recommendations. It was then that he got exposed for eating at the restaurant just shortly before his date arrived.
Apparently, the waiter told his date that he seemed to “really enjoy” the tacos earlier that evening. So, the waiter suggested that his date give that dinner a try.
This understandably left his date really confused, and she quickly asked what that remark was supposed to mean.
“So, I told her I ate some tacos before she arrived, and she immediately became furious,” he recalled.
His date went on to accuse him of being rude since she couldn’t understand why anyone would ever eat before their date arrived.
He tried to explain himself, pointing out how his main goal was to get to know her, not eat something.
Still, the whole vibe of their date was off after that, and once his date ordered and ate her food, she just made an excuse to leave.
“And I haven’t heard from her since then,” he vented.
So now, in the wake of that awkward incident, he can’t stop wondering if eating dinner before his date even got to the restaurant was really a jerky move.
Can you understand why his date didn’t want to eat alone? Should he have just ordered an appetizer to snack on or better planned for this date instead of eating a whole dinner right before? How would you have reacted in his date’s shoes?
