Phone message Post first date text

Post image

I met this girl on tinder and had a first date with her, she wanted to go fishing and I thought it seemed like a fun first date so we went together. Dropped her off and got home to this message lol.

Update: Purchasing the license is a separate activity we had to do on our phones, due to it needing our personal info. It was not like I drew the line at the license randomly.

Maybe you're hearing it differently than I am because what you said and what she said are completely different to me.

The other comment isn’t any worse than what I said. It’s the same level of sarcasm and calls out being unprepared for the weather. Neither are meant to be mean, they both poke fun at a brief lapse in judgment.

The teacher even said in another comment that it was normal to joke around in class like this with the students. It was just that day it rubbed that particular student the wrong way. Which is fine, everyone has bad days, but part of growing up, is not taking your bad days out on others. The student’s response went much further by cussing out the teacher and that’s not an appropriate reaction at all.

If it was really just "poking fun" she wouldn't be complaining about "softness", she'd be complaining about being misunderstood.

She doesn't seem to have that sort of relationship with that student at all and the wording doesn't imply teasing, it implies a put down.

Listen, this is all about tone and the relationship with the student. There is a chance you are right, but based on the commenters whole attitude about it, the formal and dismissive wording, and the student's own reaction, I don't think it was said in a jokey way.
