A Girl Canceled Their Third Date After She Saw His Outfit

A week ago, this 26-year-old guy started seeing a 29-year-old girl, and he thought things between them were moving quite fast.

He really did like her, and she felt the same way. They essentially went on two dates in one week, and then this past Saturday, she asked him if they could go out on date number three.

She actually asked if she could go fishing with him for their third date, and he said yes. He texted her the exact location of where their date would be on Friday, and he pointed out that they were going to be fishing on a pier.

He figured she knew what he was talking about since they had gone to the beach together two days earlier.

When Saturday arrived, he grabbed his fishing gear, got some bait, and drove 45 minutes to get to her house. He was dressed in black swim trunks, a black band shirt, and flip-flops.

She made a comment about his flip-flops when she saw what he had on, and he reminded her that they’re going to the beach.

She replied that she had no clue he meant that they were going to have a beach day, as she didn’t understand that’s what he meant when he told her about fishing on the pier.

“She tells me I should’ve planned something else and didn’t want to do the beach again,” he explained.

“I find a different fishing spot for us. We get in the car, then she tells me, “You really need to get a new wardrobe. Like, what you’re wearing is really turning me off. I don’t think I want to go fishing with you. I think we are at different points in our lives, and I don’t want to waste your time.”

He was angry when she got out of the car and canceled their third date over his outfit. But he didn’t say anything really to her and just drove back to his house.

On their first date, he wore dark-colored jeans, white sneakers, and a white linen button-down shirt. He took her out to a fancy bar before going for dinner.

On their second date, he had swim trunks, flip-flops, and a nice polo on. He took her to the beach on their second date because she asked, and they went to a beach bar after.

Both dates were amazing, so he’s super confused as to how this played out the way it did. What makes it more confusing to him is that she doesn’t have a job or a car, and he has both of those things, so so much for her saying they’re at different places in their lives.

“I think she may have had some romantic expectation of our date that was shattered by the visual of me arriving dressed like a beach bum,” he added.

“I was just shocked by how she handled the miscommunication.”

What advice do you have for him?
