A woman has opened up about her negative dating experience and revealed how a man rejected her because she ate a whole salad on their date.
23-year-old Diamond Jackson from Dinwiddie, Virginia, met a guy whom she had been chatting with for a week via an online dating site before the two met in person for a date.
While their dinner appeared to go perfectly and the couple ended the night with a promise they’d see each other again, the young lady was in for a big surprise when she received a lengthy rant from the man she went out with.
As the guy explained in his message, he felt it was unladylike of Diamond to finish the salad she had ordered.
He also insisted they weren’t compatible because she is “greedy for food” and will probably get “overweight in the near future.”
“Honestly Diamond. You seem like a amazin women but I don’t think we’re compatible,” the man wrote.
“You ate the whole damn salad which isn’t ladylike. Makes me feel like you’re greedy for food and I need a women who knows when to stop eating.
“You know I meal prep and go to the gym daily. I just feel like you’d be overweight in the near future. I still want to hang out but that bothered me. I almost exploded.”
Concluding his rant, the guy added: “I love your vibe and energy tho. You’re perfect, it’s just that one thing plus it was our first date. You was pose to havw butterflies n s**t how could you eat that much.”
Following the brutal rejection, Diamond decided to speak out and warn other women not to ignore red flags when dating.
“We had been messaging for about a week before we met up. The first impression was pretty good, we had good conversion on the date and our conversation through text message prior was pretty good as well,” she explained.
“While we were on the date it didn’t seem like anything was off. Before we left we hugged and he was like, ‘Am I going to see you again?’ and I said ‘Sure.’”
She continued: “Then later on he sent that message and it caught me off guard because I thought everything went well. It was crazy, it definitely was unexpected.
“I feel it shows his true personality – how unsettled and insecure he is with himself. Misery loves company and he has to be pretty miserable with life itself to even think like that.”
Diamond also defended herself saying she only ate one grilled chicken Caesar salad while her date finished an entire basket of bread before ordering chicken and mashed potatoes as his main dish.
“It wasn’t even a big salad, I got the side salad, so for him to say that was just like wow,” Diamond says.
“If I had got the big salad I probably wouldn’t have even finished that but the side salads are pretty small.”
As the 23-year-old revealed, she blocked the man after their date rather than waste her time responding to him.
She also admitted her “feelings were hurt a little bit” because the whole thing about her salad was “pure foolishness” but insisted she didn’t take it to heart because he clearly wasn’t the right person for her.
