A young Nigerian man has taken to social media to express his frustration over what he described as an awkward and uncomfortable first date experience with a lady he recently went out with. His story was shared anonymously via a direct message to popular X influencer @wizarab10, where he recounted the events that left him feeling neglected and unappreciated.
According to the man, the lady had made a good impression initially by paying for her own transportation and clothing expenses for the outing, which he admitted he found admirable and responsible. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when she ordered food for herself without considering or offering him anything during their date.
He explained his feelings in his message: “I went on a date with a girl, our very first date. She paid for her clothings and transport, which I liked. When we got there, we spoke for over an hour, and she was listening attentively to me. Then, she suddenly called the waiter and ordered meat pie and ice cream for herself. She started eating while continuing to listen to me and replying. Isn’t that callous? She didn’t even ask if I was hungry, she just ate and kept listening. I felt ignored.”
The man concluded his message with a humorous and rhetorical question, asking for advice from followers on whether he should continue pursuing the relationship. He added, “Should I fling?”
The post has since sparked a heated debate online, with many ridiculing the man for what they perceived as an overreaction to a trivial situation. Social media users quickly flooded the comments section, sharing their thoughts and criticisms about his perspective on the date.
One user, @Mickyy_Beast, wrote, “I no really understand what this thing is complaining about? She clothed herself like a responsible adult should and then ordered what she wanted to eat while still listening to the rubbish you were saying. Please tell us wetin the problem be; she for order for you?”
Another user, @topecole, expressed her frustration with the man’s complaints: “Why’re you complaining for? She bought clothes and paid for her transport. If she didn’t now, you’ll start saying Nigerian girls this and that one. There is nothing you won’t say under the sun 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️. You’re a nincompoop.”
The post continues to generate mixed reactions, with some taking the man’s side and sympathizing with his feelings, while others outrightly dismiss his concerns as unfounded and immature.
