Walked out on a date

[baa1981]

Saturday night I met a guy that I had started emailing from POF the day before. His pictures looked okay and he didn't use text speak and the conversation was normal, so I decided to meet him on Saturday.

We show up at the restaurant at the same time. He's much skinnier than I usually like and wasn't as cute as in his pictures. The week before I had been to the bar part of this place and dropped my phone in my salsa. It was kind of a funny story and so I told it to him to kind of break the awkwardness that was happening. His response was that takes a special kind of retard (which I have issues with that word anyway, but calling me that within five minutes of meeting...). He asked why I moved to Texas, I said for a job. He said oh you have a job, that's good. I said don't you. He said kind of...

Then he went on a rant about the company I work for and how they've screwed him in the past. Then told me he hated the baseball team I like. Then said that the painting on the wall wasn't right because "white people don't pick watermelons." When he asked if I smoke a lot of pot, I decided that his weird movements weren't because he was nervous but probably because he was high (and on something more than pot).

I said I am going to go to the restroom. I found our waiter and gave him $20 and said I need to leave...and left! He must have known it wasn't going well, because I never heard from him either!

Holy wow....I have no words!

I think you did the right thing. WTF? lol

[blackkitty]

wow, that sounds pretty sucky
I have to say though I would've (and have) just put my money on the table and said... "I'm just going to go. Have a good night." I think it's classier than just skipping out on him.

[starburst604]

Wow, I would have left too. What a freak.

woohhooo...i love a good walk out story!

I won't disagree with that - but I'm not sure he wouldn't have known class if it would have slapped him in the face!

Yikes! Sorry you had a bad date, but yay for having the guts to walk out!!

And...I have to ask, what restaurant did you go to? If I recall correctly, you now live in the same city as me

[stephbfan]

Wow, he sure is a winner!

I love Chuy's!!! Especially their Creamy Jalapeno and happy hour strawberry margaritas!

[bullygirl979]

That is all.

ETA: River Pestie and Starryfish took me to Chuy's when I went to visit them. Mmm...chuy's.

I agree with you there, but it's more for yourself than anything else. There is something empowering about not feeling like you have to "sneak out".

The creamy jalapeno is delish! And it was that stuff that I dropped my phone in -- after a few of their margaritas!

[bowies]

I'm usually not a fan of walk-outs, but....holy shit, you made the right call.

WTF is WRONG with people?

[moolarkey]

If you'd left the money on the table, which sounds nicer, he might have followed you or caused an incident. In this case, skipping out might have been the thing to do - and/or ask the waiter to take a note over in 5 minutes or 10 minutes that simply said, I decided to call it a night, have a nice evening. or something else simple.

[Deleted]

Good for you!! What an asshole.

[aliciar6]

wow!!!! i think i'd have just slapped the $20 on the table and said, "i'm sorry, you're too much of a loser for me to continue to waste any more of my night in your sorry ass presence"

[redredwine]

Good for you! :Y:

[riverpestie]

He sounds like an asshole!

Glad you didn't walk out on our "date!" ;-)

[mayflowers22]

Wow, I would have left too!

[usedtobebear]

Sounds like a douche,,, good idea leaving for sure... I think dropping your phone in your salsa sounds funny, he's annoying responding so poorly.

Agreed. I left a date with an ass once with the whole "I'm leaving now, here's my money" and he yelled insults and sexual comments while I walked out. I should have just ditched him.

Also, this man does not deserve nicer. Use of the word "retard" and making racist jokes all while constantly insulting you? Eff him. It takes a special kind of asshole to pull out all this shit on the first date.

What an asshat! Sorry you had to miss out on the food. I love Chuy's!
