I met a woman on FB dating and we agreed to get mexican food.

I drove over, walked up, and she instantly took offense to my nose piercing. (They are in my profile pictures).

We were both hungry and I offered to still pay for dinner despite her distaste, but she noped out and said she was leaving.

I’m genuinely not sure how to feel. Admittedly, it did hurt my feelings slightly. On the other hand, I’ve also just learned not to care anymore.

Screenshots are of what she had to say after it happened.

I guess I’m just sharing this because I’d like to hear other opinion.

I (37F) met a guy at a concert yesterday. He approached me, asked for my number, and we exchanged texts afterward.

He asked if I was free and said we should hang out. He even wanted to see me that same night, but I wasn't available. We ended up discussing meeting another day.

When I asked what he had in mind for our plans, he hadn't actually thought of anything and asked me for suggestions. I started feeling like we weren't really on the same wavelength, but I was still open to seeing how things went.

Meanwhile, I realized something about myself: I'm genuinely not ready to date right now. I recently got out of a long-term relationship, and I'd already made a commitment to myself to stay single until the beginning of next year. I want to honor that instead of going on dates when I'm not emotionally available.

So I sent him a polite message explaining that I wasn't ready to date, didn't want to lead him on, and would potentially be open to exploring things in the future when I was in a different place.

His response? He started calling me stupid and insulting my intelligence, saying we weren't dating and asking why I was talking about my headspace when he had simply asked me to hang out.

I KNOW we weren't dating. We'd literally just met! But he approached me, asked for my number, wanted to pick me up, repeatedly asked to hang out, and practically begged me to hang out tonight. I interpreted that as romantic interest, which doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

If he meant it platonically, he could have clarified that. If he was disappointed that I wasn't available, he could have said so. Instead, he chose to insult me.

I eventually fired back and blocked him. I could have handled my response more gracefully, but I have zero tolerance for someone speaking to me that way.

What makes this even more concerning is that I later found out that he lied about his age, name and even where he lived.

I'm honestly baffled. Why pursue someone, then act offended when they politely explain they're not ready to date? This is what dating in 2026 really is because I am not made for this.

Am I missing something here, or was his reaction completely disproportionate?

So we were supposed to meet at 10am. I confirmed with him the night before, i went to the café on time and shoot him at text but he replied almost 2 hours later. I left the café by then.

Nothing about my profile or anything involving it would ever make it seem like I would be open to a message like this

To all the men saying “at least he asked” I was never asked if I was okay receiving an unsolicited sexual message from a stranger. Asking for consent implies that the person has already expressed some sort of sexual interest in you. Don’t message strangers sex shit. It isn’t some unalienable right to ask women if they want to fuck you. Doing that with no other preamble makes you a creep.

I am 30m and met the girl of my dreams a few months back in the summer. She is beautiful, amazing, sweet, and a hard worker. However, when I met her she told me that she didn’t want a relationship due to her having financial and mental health difficulties. I respected it but asked to still hang out. Eventually one thing lead to another and we ended up in a relationship. Things were going well I thought but she broke it off earlier today due to her saying that she’s broke and depressed.

Now I understand the depressed part but idc that she’s broke. I love her and I just want to be around her. Plus she isn’t greedy. She never asks for anything. I just love being in her presence. But she feels like she still isn’t doing enough. I wish that she could see that I don’t care. I just love her. But she doesn’t want this.

I just hate that she’s going through this.

i wish i had the part where i told him i didn't want to pursue things too (something like "hey i think you're cool but i don't think we mesh very well", i was polite) so that it could really be understood how much he blew up lol.

he sent me this same message on instagram and snapchat as well🫠 very glad that i didn't end up in a relationship with this guy

edit: guys this is an old screenshot. i thought me saying i didn't have screenshots of parts of it would make it clear it was old, but it didn't and that's my bad. this guy has LONG been blocked (i blocked him directly after this screenshot). i found this looking for a different photo and found it funny enough to post. that is all.

After the date I thought it went well and I was surprised to see she was not liking it based on looks and decided to try handing me off to her friend. Really crazy stuff.

I felt my brain rot rereading this conversation.

For some context, my female friend in this text string was asking to follow a girl I’ve been seeing for about 3 1/2 to 4 months and before they’ve even met in person, she sent me the strange rant about her, not following her on Instagram still shocked that in our age of 27 people can still act like this. opinion be appreciated or if anyone has dealt anything like this let me know and has it been over anything besides a petty

I’m just so tired man.

Idk even know how to explain without a essay, but she is my friend from highschool until now, she's mostly someone who's stressed, sometimes its overbearing ngl, I voiced it and we were still cool, she stopped voicing about 85% of it and irl we be talking about lots of stuff. Lately she has been dry texting, so the vibes is a bit off, so I guess I returned the favour( I guess im overthinking and being soft).

Not even from a dating site 😭

[Sorry for using the discord tag but it doesnt have a "Twitch DM" tag and it requires you to use one]

Im sorry for being so distant but its been months since Ive played any videogames and this has genuinely surprised me so much.

I literally said: "Hey streamer, how does it feel to look at those amazing builds and to remember building/placing each block?" Nothing else, that was my first message. How was that being "funny"??? Also the flirty tone?? I dont understand what happened 😂 Was that a troll?

not the first time we've had this conversation, and it's not something i can explain either. they haven't said anything since the last text. i don't care if im in the right or the wrong, i just want to be able to talk to them again without it being tense. we haven't spoken since

Texts from a situationship that I stopped entertaining a while ago.

my bf lives with his brother and his gf (let’s call brothers gf “B”)

i had been talking to him about how im excited to decorate my own (future) house for the holidays. and he says i can just decorate his house, but “B” has already put up decorations. he told me “remove them and add your own stuff”.

i told him i wasnt going to go into his house and remove decorations that someone else put up, when it isn’t even my house to begin with, and i dont live with him. that it was rude. and he said “its not rude if you’re just making it better.”

but after I continue to say no he starts to belittle me and call me annoying and depressed for not decorating his house…

and i just upped my dose on an antidepressant which explains the “go up to 30mg” comment lol.

context on the ice cream situation: to make it short, ive been trying to encourage him to lose weight (he also got himself on a glp-1 on his own accord). so im just trying to be supportive and giving him tips and educating him on things since im pretty active myself.

he was talking about having this “October challenge” where he would lock in and go to the gym and take his health seriously and all that. then today i ask him what’s for dinner and he says he’s going to have ice cream from an ice cream parlor lol.

ive told him my views on health and how i want to be with someone who takes their health seriously, and we almost broke up cause of it once. and it was this whole thing where “blah blah im gonna change, i dont want to lose you” but he does nothing to take care of himself.

we always argue to the point where it gets physical and ive wanted to end the relationship for months because hes gotten so disrespectful to me. but then he starts to find ways to manipulate me into thinking hes going to get better or that it’s all my fault and i ruin everything (i know i should have more self respect)

at this point it’s just pure comedy and entertainment for me. i have so much resentment that stuff like this doesn’t phase me anymore.

and just to point out that i DO work part time on the weekends and do community volunteer work weekdays, among other responsibilities. im 23F and hes 22M. and he thinks he’s a hot shot just cause he makes a lot of money.

There were way more then these 3 but I blocked and deleted them quick. So I'm a femcel, I accept I'm going to die a virgin but I've officially had it with all the lies that people spread around.

Dating for women is like shopping in a clothes shop but every garment is super low quality, thread bare, ugly, has holes in it, is uncomfortable when you wear it, doesn't keep you warm in winter, and is even made of toxic fabrics which can possibly kill you or ruin your skin. All of the good quality garments have already been snatched off the racks by other women so at this point, its better to stay naked.

When the podcast bros and misogynists say women have tones of options, they're not talking about quality viable options. They're counting in the homeless men, druggies, criminals, illiterates and down right degenerates into the mix then turn around and get mad when we say all men are trash. Well then, stop counting in the trash males.

Getting a lazy "hey" or "hello" from a faceless empty profile with absolutely nothing on it is NOT options.
