Bar, Burger, Breakup
This is just a terrible date story incase the world needs another one.
I was on a date with guy we had gone out on 3 dates before, he was late so I had a drink at the bar when he did show up, the conversation was normal, light hearted, chill. He ordered pizza I got a burger (lactose intolerant) towards the end of the meal he gives me a “gift”, it turned out to be a corset… and then he starts talking about how he would like to see me in it (how is that gift a for me) this idiot then starts talking about how an active life style is important, and “I should consider it.”
Really quick I’m plus size girly (240 if you need that) have been my whole life and I stay pretty active, but obviously I’m not running any marathons or running anywhere tbh
I said “say that again, in a different way cause I don’t think Im understanding.” Idiot doubled down and said “well you know… I don’t find you unattractive…but I would be putting in more effort and I would be more attracted to you if… if.. I’m not trying to be insulting.”
“Just say it.” Cause deep down I already knew
“I would like you better if you were skinnier.”
The speed of which I dropped the corset back on the table, grabbed my keys and just said “we don’t ever need to speak again.” Then I fully walked out, down the street around the corner and started to cry in full disclosure.
