A Guy Combed Lice Out Of Her Hair On Their First Date And Then Took Her Out To Dinner
This 25-year-old woman has a career as a preschool teacher, and lice come with the territory. She promises she’s not a gross person, but it’s an unavoidable misfortune working with little kids.
One month ago, she met a 26-year-old man named D on a dating app, and it happened accidentally.
She actually dropped her phone and swiped his profile in the process. He matched her back and wrote a very funny message to her.
“On the day we were supposed to have our first date, I discovered one of my darling students gave me lice. I was freaking out,” she explained.
“I knew he wasn’t going to believe me and that he was going to think I was just blowing him off. I immediately tell him that I have to go to the store and get lice treatment and that I need a rain check on the date.”
Just as she anticipated, D thought she was lying to get out of the date, which is totally fair – it did sound like an absurd reason to cancel on him.
After she bought the treatment, she video-called her best friend in tears. Her best friend said to send D a photo of her along with the bottle, so she did that.
“As soon as this man saw that I was genuinely crying and holding lice treatment, he offered to come over and help me comb bugs out of my hair,” she said.
She quickly deferred to her best friend, wondering if she should take D up on his offer, and her best friend said yes.

So she texted D her address and quickly put the treatment on. When he arrived, she greeted him outside of her apartment complex and invited him in.
Now, she had never met D in person before that night, but he spent the next two hours combing lice out of her hair.
“We spent the whole time talking and joking and discussing our interests, all of the normal first date stuff,” she added.
“This man was meticulous; he took his time and was so gentle and kind. He didn’t make me feel bad about it at all and even tried to make light of the situation.”
Not only did D comb her hair, but he also helped her bag up her bedding and clothes to kill the lice that were possibly still on her things.
It was close to 10 p.m. when they finished up. They had planned to go to a Mexican restaurant, but it was too late to head over there, so they picked another location,
“This man still wanted to take me to dinner after combing bugs out of my hair,” she continued. “I, of course, decided that he’d already seen me at my worst, so I wasn’t going to be shy about eating and ordered a Guinness and a burger.”
“It had been a long day, and I just wanted comfort food. He, however, decided he still needed to impress me for some reason and ordered a Guinness as well, even though he’s a light beer drinker and had never even tried it before.”
“I ended up drinking two Guinnesses, sans one sip on his end because he hated it. He told me I was impressive and that he’s never had a girl actually order what she wanted on a first date. He refused to let me pay. I tried, given everything he’d done for me, and he asked if he could see me again soon. We’re going out again later this week.”
Isn’t that the sweetest first date story you have ever heard?
