#3: The Weighty Comment
Online dating has its share of pitfalls, and sometimes, it delivers cringe-worthy moments that defy explanation. Take, for instance, the story of a woman and her date who likely connected through a dating app and decided to meet in person. Their initial encounter took an unpleasant turn when, upon introducing herself, the date made a tactless comment about her weight, uttering, “I thought you’d be thinner.”
Such an audacious affront leaves one grappling for an appropriate response. While some might freeze in disbelief, others could be moved to tears or even contemplate a retaliatory slap. In this case, the woman opted for a response that exuded confidence and wit. She calmly poured her date’s drink into his lap and quipped, “I thought you’d be smarter.” With that memorable retort, she exited, leaving an indelible impression. The evening may not have unfolded as expected, but ending it with a pizza was undoubtedly a silver lining.
