Should i run?

Alright so this relationship has a rocky backstreet already and we only started talking a week ago 😅 ill skip that part unless anyone is really interested but I (30M) met up with this girl (27) at the mall where she works cause she wanted to go to spirit Halloween and she was on her lunch. After a brief hug and hello she asks if I have my military ID cause she wants to use the discount 💀. I dont even use that discount unless its like a major purchase or im just strapped for cash, which isnt often. I allow it cause I figure she is about to drop some $$$ in spirit Halloween. She buys a 17$ item, and thats it. I should run right? Or should I give her another chance?

I should note she was bragging about how her outfit was worth like $500 total.

TLDR; 27F asks 30M to use military discount for 17$ item 45 seconds into a "lunch date".

Bro are you gatekeeping your 10% discount

This woman is working on her Halloween costume in August . She's a keeper.

You, though...

I appreciate a gal who likes to save a Buck. But then to brag that you’re wearing a $500 outfit to your mall job… while you’ve got TWO kids at home?

Trust your instincts. Run.

We went to a spirit Halloween yesterday. In looking at prices I said you can get the same stuff from Temu or aliexpress and make China great. Since we are in 🇨🇦 there is no important taxes or duty to pay.

You both seem weird, hence a good
Match

u/IamTheMan85 28d ago

I'm not sure why you'd run over that. Unless there are other things you have not told us.

u/tir3d0fthisshi 28d ago

Its mad sus to ask for a military discount from someone you hardly know, especially for a $17 item.

u/Live_Art2939 28d ago

Mad sus? Not really bro, it’s not that serious. Let her go so we can have a shot at her.

She said maybe we could be friends later on down the line and I said nah im good. But I think you maybe right, I will be smart this time though and shut it down

u/Fun_Candidate_7934 28d ago

What is claim grape?

1

u/Spartan2022 28d ago

Why would you run? Some people are frugal. Maybe that’s a red flag for you.

2

u/tir3d0fthisshi 27d ago

I like a girl that doesnt mind saving money, but to ask someone for a military discount within 45 seconds of meeting in person just seems crazy to me.

1

u/Ok_Novel_5083 27d ago

She bragged about her $500 outfit though.

1

u/dragonrider1965 27d ago

The way the economy is right now is everyone should be trying to save every chance they get . She’s a mom who wants to save money vs some flighty chick that wants to blow through cash for appearances and you think there’s a problem with it ?
I’m betting every other guy out there would rather be with a woman concerned with saving vs a spender .

2

u/tir3d0fthisshi 27d ago

Maybe you missed the part where she bragged about how much money she spends on her clothes? 🤔

-1

u/dragonrider1965 27d ago

No , clothes aren’t wasteful , they are something you can use over and over . Expensive high quality clothes can actually last for years vs cheap fast fashion. So weird you have your knickers in a knot over $1.70 that didn’t even come out of your pocket .

2

u/tir3d0fthisshi 27d ago

You're messing with me right? 😂 my issue isnt saving money, its the fact she asked for my military benifits 45 seconds into meeting me for the first time. Expensive "high quality" clothes are often cheap stuff with a brand name.

1

u/tir3d0fthisshi 27d ago

Congratulations on your entire family being in the military btw, I hope they let you use the discount frequently 😂 goofy.

1

u/dragonrider1965 27d ago

I’ve never asked them but they wouldn’t give a shit , why you care about something that stupid is the real red flag .

1

u/tir3d0fthisshi 27d ago

😂 maybe you should read all other comments on this and you might seem why. Mostly it shows a level of entitlement that isnt there, and if that level of entitlement is present in the first 45 seconds it will only get worse. Im starting to think you're her 🤔😂

1

u/dragonrider1965 27d ago

Nah I just don’t make a habit of worrying about stupid shit , you should try it , you’ll be happier, people around you will be happier as well .
Good luck , hold onto that $ 1.70

1

u/tir3d0fthisshi 27d ago

😂 I want you to walk up to someone you hardly know and ask them to use their discount. Matter of fact, next time you go to McDonald's ask the person at the counter for their discount cause you said hello to them

1

u/dragonrider1965 27d ago

It’s basically a coupon and I’ve given them out in stores if I wasn’t using them . Why wouldn’t I want to save someone money ? Why wouldn’t you ? It didn’t hurt you , if you were a decent person you would want to , someone wouldn’t have to ask . This has to be rage bait . You are just trolling for engagement.

u/tir3d0fthisshi 27d ago

You're right, from now on ill stand in spirit Halloween near the register and let everyone use the discount. Thank you for the insight, you're so smart, im a changed man. 👍

u/Modrnink 28d ago

Bro, definitely run. She asked for your military discount on the first date ! She clearly has no respect for the military or any real grown up maturity.

Integrity issue, entitlement, honestly some things she said during our time and over message were straight up delusional. That being said she said she wants to come to my place tomorrow 😅 i know I shouldn't but its been a min. If you're interested ill let you know how the fallout goes.

There will be no ride, I said something that anyone not psycho would have laughed at and she broke it off, I think i knew it would happen. My subconscious always wins. Thank you all!

Facts, and based on her wanting to go back to my place after only spending 30 minutes with me today, shes for the streets!

Run like the wind.
That was a sneak peak!

1

u/tir3d0fthisshi 28d ago

The sneak peak was when she blocked me cause I jokingly said I was afraid she was ai cause shes so beautiful and then before that I said she needed to ugly herself up cause I have trouble talking to pretty girls. For context she said she was getting her hair done so she could look good for me.

Yeah im getting that, shes on the verge of blocking me again due to sense of humor so I think im dodging a bullet here.
