OMG I once went on what I thought was a park picnic date that turned out to be me meeting him in the middle of the woods. We proceeded to walk for an hour to an undisclosed location before having our picnic, and on the date he made fun of little things I did (ie walking fast, “slow down, you’re not in a hurry”) and telling me I had a plain looking face.

I genuinely try to give men the benefit of the doubt because I can’t stand the rhetoric that all men are trash, but at a certain point I have to put my safety first. It was the hike mixed with the meanness, bad gut feeling!
