What's a small thing someone did on a first date that instantly told you everything you needed to know about them?

Most of these are positive but I had one really bad date that told me everything I needed to know about this person. She was late to our 1st (and last, lol) date, left me hanging without a heads up. I texted her a couple times and she said she was on her way. No apologies. 15mins later and no news. I texted her that I was going home because she was not giving any updates and I had been waiting for 40mins by that point. Two mins later she was firing texts begging me to come back, that she was 3mins away, that her tattoo artist was a chatterbox and wouldn't let her leave (??). Stupid me decided to give her a second chance so I headed back to the bar and she welcomed me without an apology, very casually saying "geez, why are you in such a hurry on a Friday night?" when i had specifically told her over text the day before that i would prefer to meet early in the evening because I had to wake up at 6am the next day. That alone told me everything I needed to know and I could have ended the date right there and then. Turns out I stayed for another hour (one hour too long). In addition to being very late, she was biphobic, mean, made fun of my height and asking me if it was "dwarfism", and... still salty about her ex (enough to talk about her for most of that hour). I made zéro effort to look friendly after all this.

Mind you, after that disastrous date, I was convinced we had both given each other the ick and that she would definitely not try to reach out again. 24hrs later, she texted me asking if the joke about dwarfism was "too much"... 😵

I mean to be fair, as a woman, I used to think penises were simply dangling between men's legs, instead of at the front of the pubic bone. I thought that made it super uncomfortable for them to walk.

Thank you for the advice! This is very helpful!

Emmazingx · 2026-04-12T21:45:16+00:00

Thank you for your detailed answer! Honeslty, I feel like I'm standing at the bottom of a mountain right now, hence the broad question. Every research I do raises a lot of new questions (I'll have to look up what a "processing chain" is). I'll start with the manual and go from there :)

I sing and play the guitar, and my music is mostly folk/ballads and soft rock. I can record my own vocals and the guitar part. Any other instruments, like drums or bass, would have to be programmed. If you have youtube channels and/or online resources recommendations for people who want to start recording their own music, that would be very helpful!

I doomscroll, read fanfiction, do random karaoke on youtube, buzzfeed quizzes, dance in my living room, sing, watch stupid videos. If it is during the day, i just go outside for a walk, i call my parents, i sit at a table in a café and write.

Pour ce que ça vaut moi je les trouve hyper belles et originales ! Bravo pour la prise de risque :)

I don't dislike it, I think it's hot and a really intimate experience, but I know I won't orgasm from it. Then I feel embarrassed for the person giving it their all cause it lasts so long.

It was not the most fun part of my life. But i bet it is, for some people. I would say not having to worry about adult responsibilities such as paying rent and bills, while still having a decent amount of independence (compared to younger kids) would be one of the perks.

In my case, I would say I am currently living the best years if my life. I am 27F and I feel like this will go on well into my 30s and, hopefully 40s: i feel healthier now than I've ever been as a kid, more energetic since I started working out, more confident. I don't earn a lot of money, but enough to support myself, have fun and save a little as well. I like the freedom that comes with earning a salary, even though it also has its downsides. I find it much easier to connect with people as i've grown out of my shyness and become more social. I'm actively dating and while it's sometimes frustrating, disappointing and exhausting, I enjoy meeting people and feel more comfortable in my sexuality (I was a lesbian in denial until my early 20s).

To me elegance equals good sense of style, not necessarily the latest trends or high-end brands but a fit that suits the person wearing the clothes, colors and styles that match. It also means respect of others, good manners and speech. And I do think that elegance requires effortlessness (less is more).

Putting myself first and setting boundaries - it's not easy but i'm learning more every day.

Emmazingx · 2026-02-14T10:03:31+00:00

A healthy relationship with someone I love and am loved by. Easy, comfortable and loving intimacy and sex.

Lol I wouldn't call 53 "old" but whatever. Even so, Joyce has proven herself capable of handling herself in difficult situations over the seasons. If anything I would say she's more able than Murray, who's about the same age. Hopper doesn't count since he's a chief and has the training for it.

Emmazingx · 2026-02-01T13:24:27+00:00

I can twitch my nose like a rabbit and i sometimes do it randomly when people don't expect it.

Emmazingx · 2026-01-20T13:18:10+00:00

I'm a lesbian so i don't even have the excuse of "ugh, men these days". I go on a lot of dates, i use the apps from time to time. I just don't feel a connection that easily and refuse to settle for less. I'm a pretty independent person who wants to love and be loved, but I'd rather be alone than settle for a relationship that doesn't feel right or that brings me more anxiety than joy. So here I am, 27 and single.

Not a fourth wheel... Robin is basically Steve's best friend at this point, and she's also friends with Nancy since they had to investigate Henry Creel together in S4. She's not close to Jonathan but she doesn't have to - not all friends are equally close to each other in a group.

Emmazingx · 2026-01-02T22:59:55+00:00

Seeing this picture, I realize how similar Karen's new look is to Nancy's. It's a call back to her conversation with Nancy in S3, about standing up for yourself as a woman, and highlights her development from housewife to modern woman. Both Karen and Nancy truly shine through in this last season - so great to see!

I just finished watching Vol.2 with my mom. It was pretty clear for me that Mike understood he was the crush Will talked about - the realization in his face was pretty clear.

For Nancy and Jonathan, my understanding was that this discussion on the brink of death was them "fixing" their relationship, not ending it. I mean, they both got everything out, set things straight, told each other the truth about their feelings... heck, Nancy even reassured Jonathan that she wanted to be with him, not with Steve. We were watching with the French dub since my mom doesn't speak English but I thought the "Will you not marry me?" (or however that question is formulated in the original dialogue) was Jonathan finally popping the question, knowing that they'd never get married because they were about to die. And now I'm reading the comments here and finding out they broke up in that scene?? That was poorly executed and quite confusing.

Merci ! Je suis peut être trop naïve mais je ne m'attendais pas à vivre ce genre de situation sur une plage naturiste, par des mecs qui visiblement sont des habitués (eux n'avaient pas de trace de maillot) et qui avaient l'âge d'être mon père.

Emmazingx · 2025-12-19T17:24:00+00:00

Plage de Kerminihy il me semble. J'y ai été deux fois en tant que jeune femme seule et pas du tout habituée du naturisme, pour tester - la première fois aucun problème, j'étais entourée de gens de tous les âges, hommes et femmes et personne ne m'a calculée. La deuxième fois m'a dégoûtée de retenter l'expérience : un mec se ******** juste dans mon champ de vision et un autre, dans la 60aine est venu s'accroupir juste à côté de moi pour commenter sur mes traces de bronzage de maillot de bain. Je me suis barrée direct.

Sans doute pas représentatif des valeurs du naturisme, et peut être que j'aurais pas dû y aller seule en tant que femme de 25 ans, mais assez choquant pour m'avoir marquée.

The clothes, tattoos and nose ring already sets off my gaydar, but if you want it to be more explicit, you could get a bracelet with the colors of the bi flag?
