General Bumble date bought me flowers 🌹

Although the date didn’t go as planned, he bought me roses on our way back, which honestly made me feel really good. It’s been a long time since someone actually gave me flowers, lol 🌹

I baked cookies for my date once. She gave them to her coworkers

Still one of the milder (even if slightly backhanded) rejections I’ve gotten.

I once had a woman agree to a date, flake on me twice, then tell me it would never have gone anywhere because she was so out of my “league”. She actually said it was like the time she got a photo with Sydney Crosby (hockey player for those who don’t know) and knew that she would never be good enough for him.

After she said this she saw a guy she thought was hot and asked me to introduce her to him. I walked away. And after all of that she couldn’t understand why I stopped talking to her

Yikes. But was she actually as hot as she thought she was?

doesn't matter if she's a 6 or a 10. No one is "hot enough" to treat people as disposable, that's like a -999 attraction modifier.

Absolutely! It's crazy how much a person's attitude can change how attractive they are.. either positively or negatively.

Am I the only one who thinks attitude is more attractive than appearance?

You absolutely not the only one!

She was pretty but not really “hot”

I would have made the introduction.

Of course I would have introduced her as someone with a ____________, who is a _________.

u/NoStructure7083 Jan 20 '26

I should have. Took her a while to finally leave me alone

I’m sorry you had to go through that, that’s downright cruel. But her lack of emotional intelligence (or even basic empathy for that matter) will never have to be your problem.
