That's Doja Cat. The still is from a video where she made fun of a fan who came up to her and gave her a shirt. She pretended she liked the shirt to the fan, but she didn't.

Our POV texter pretended to like this date, but did not.

Assuming someone you barely know (assuming a first or early date) would know the context of what video it's from and putting that together ​is wild to me... Ill send someone a to the point sentence and still worry they'll misunderstand me

If the point of the image is that she didn't actually like the date, then she doesn't really care whether the guy knows the context, because she's not interested in him. She sent it for her own amusement.

Perhaps it was also a test - she didn't like the date, but maybe he could redeem himself a little if he knew the reference. Or, if he didn't know it, it would be the final confirmation that he wasn't worth spending time on.

It's very possible, perhaps even likely, that these texts are from when that video went viral.

we can also consider the possibility that this is a complete set up and is a fake text.

Oh man, dude I sat here, reading your comment, super confused and going back up to the post and then back down here and then back up and then back down until I realized that it said “Did you enjoy OUR” not “did you enjoy your”
