My date demanded that I wear an outfit he found on my Instagram, but things went downhill
A WOMAN had a date so awful that she permanently deleted Hinge when it ended.
She explained that her date's demands to wear a specific outfit in her social media photos were just one of the few things that put her off.
Ariel (@arielsimone_xo) shared the bad date story in a TikTok video.
She called it her “worst date ever,” so much so that she decided to never use the dating app Hinge again.
“I deleted my Hinge account after this, I highly recommend it,” she said.
While putting on makeup to go out, she explained that her date had asked her out on a bowling date.
“I should have known this was a red flag. This guy literally went on my Instagram from years ago and took an old photo of me in heels and a hat,” she said.
“[He] was like 'Can you wear this to the bowling alley? I think this photo is a fly. You wear heels, you wear a hat, and I want you to be a real flyer.'
“I'm like, I don't even know where this outfit is. This was years ago. I haven't worn this outfit in forever and we're going bowling. I want to be chill, I want to wear some sneakers and jeans.”
Her date criticized her outfit after her response and was very unhappy when she showed up in the outfit of her choice.
“I walk up and I say 'Hey, what's up, I'm Ariel' and the first thing he does is say 'You're really small', so straight. He looked me up and down. No 'hey' ', no 'nice to meet you'' she said.
After the insult, her date walked away to get bowling shoes.
“It immediately turns me on because I've never in my life had a man tell me I was short and complain about it, usually men like it,” she said.
As the two tried to document their bowling game, her date was still furious about her outfit.
“He said, 'You could have looked like flying, like I want my girls to look like flying, and that's not what you're wearing,'” she said.
To make matters worse, Ariel was annoyed by how aggressive he became.
“He asks me questions like, 'Where are you from? Where did you grow up?' really aggressive and I'm thinking bro, what's wrong with this guy?” she said.
“Then he goes off on a tangent about how small I am.”
Ariel stands up for herself and tells her date that other men liked her height.
“He said, 'Yes, I don't like it, I don't like it at all,'” she said.
Her date kept criticizing her the entire time.
“I throw the ball and he says, 'You're not really good at this. You're bad,' and he grabs the ball from me,” she said.
At that point, Ariel decided she had had enough and ended the date early using the work day as an excuse.
Although she was relieved to be away from the disastrous date, she was shocked when that wasn't the end of it.
“I get home and before I get a chance to block him… he calls me and he blows up my phone and he asks me to come over and I'm like, this guy is mentally ill,” she said.
“I blocked him and deleted my Hinge and then I never came back to Hinge because it scarred me for life.”
People thought she should have left the date much earlier than she did.
“You gave him too many chances. In between the outfit request he would have been blocked…and then the short comment…blocked!!” said one commenter.
“I would have reversed the dip.”
“The way my mouth dropped lower as you continued, I would fight,” said another.
