Treating her like crap in return was classless and cruel. Pay the $10 for her meal, wrap up the date and then don't ask her out again. That's what a decent person would do.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01218090277955551630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-74714796993665730932015-08-25T21:50:02.696-04:002015-08-25T21:50:02.696-04:00I have to agree that they were both assholes.

I would have supported the guy if he had just politely ended the date when she said the free lunch line, but acting like he did just brought him down to her level. To both of you: it's a food trunk lunch. It's neither worth prostituting yourself for nor worth being a passive aggressive dick over.

By not doing so you were rude to her AND to the food truck guy (whether she was rude first is irrelevant - you sank to her level for sure, if not, esp. when you ate in front of her, below it).<br /><br />Also, you should not have said you were using the bathroom and then just left - grow a pair, dude, and just say you're leaving.<br /><br />Mario put it well: O.P. is a "classless jerk" regardless of the fact that Val seemed a drag.H.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10801237124508772645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-45219631317443101582015-08-25T11:37:35.485-04:002015-08-25T11:37:35.485-04:00You should of said goodbye earlier to this lovely ...You should of said goodbye earlier to this lovely women and had a better day.BIGBEAUTIFULLOVERShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081360089127833537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-41230139633359249512015-08-25T11:33:01.777-04:002015-08-25T11:33:01.777-04:00I disagree completely.
