💨 Abstract

The author describes a disastrous date with a man named Dan, who initially seemed charming but quickly revealed a rude and condescending attitude. After arriving slightly late, Dan criticized her, questioned her personality, and made offensive comments about the gender pay gap. Despite the tension, she stayed, paid half the bill (including his meal), and later regretted it. The experience reinforced the importance of trusting instincts and leaving bad dates early. The article is part of a series sharing dating stories.
