  • A man and a woman hold hands across a candlelit dinner table with a cheeseboard and wine glasses
  • Blaine Anderson → @datingbyblaine Single girlfriend in NYC's text exchange with a Hinge match. She's upset. In my opinion... - She's entitled to whatever expectations of men she wants, but asking a stranger from the internet to send a car is cringey, and she has no business being upset if he won't - The guy's response is simultaneously fair, abrasive, and weird. Just say "How about I come to you?" if you still want the date, or "I don't think this is a fit..." if you don't Hard not to stay stuck
  • Today Good morning! what time / where is dinner tomorrow? Have you been to Le Mercerie? 11:25 AM 10:28 AM I have not, looks gorgeous 11:26 AM Could you send me an uber for dinner tomorrow? No, I won't. On the way home 11:28 AM though. 11:32AM Happy to pick a restaurant next to you. 11:36 AM
  • zach @blip_tm it's fair and reasonable to be totally off-put by this as a man, and it makes sense to be straightforward and honest with your rejection... as long as you don't want the date why get mad but still try to see her
  • Raq @raqisright I wouldn't ask a man for a car on first date but he can call it on way home/drop me off
  • Craig McConnel @Initechceo Dating in NYC must be such a trip. The entitlement is off the charts...
  • Bill Dalasio @WDalasio Nothing wrong with his response. She's not doing him a favor by letting him buy her dinner. It's an offer to meet and get to know each other. If meeting him isn't a benefit for her, just save everyone's time and decline.
  • blenbo (incompetent era) @blennnbo Regardless of everything else here. Le Mercerie is within a five minute walk of not one not two not three not four not five not six not seven not eight not nine not ten not eleven but TWELVE subway lines. Why live here if you don't want to interact with the city at all
  • #3 sisterwife but #1 in h... @prettycritical "No, I won't" is cracking me up so bad like fair enough (it's not a normative request!) but the fact he thought he could say it like that and still go out with her???
  • Lukas (computer) @SCHIZO_FREQ Whenever I take a girl on a date I send a car so I can get her address. Then even if she blocks me after I can still find her Always wondered why more guys don't do this. Romance is de d
  • fully fund transit @crosstown_line it's actually insane to want to ride in a car in Manhattan
  • Nicki @Nicki31415Nick Men are actually way more likely to indulge you on larger requests if you don't demand petty things
  • kate @pulpy_fiction sorry for taking the bait but you're a grown a woman who manages to successfully get herself places every other night of the week, this is embarrassing and patriarchal get it together omg. get your a on the subway or call your own d n uber
  • emily may ⭑@emilykmay I was on the apps for a blip, but this is insane behavior. Men you have never met and matched with on hinge should be willing to come a little closer to where you live/meet you in the middle, and pay for your cocktail. Anything beyond that is weird for a first date.
  • Lauren Chen ❤ @TheLaurenChen I've heard in cities that some men are starting to pay for their date's Ubers as a courtesy That's cute I guess, but the fact that this woman asks for one without so much as a "please" isn't just presumptuous and bad dating etiquette, it's bad regular etiquette
