Woman Shares Her First Date Fiasco With A Man Who Had The Audacity To Eat Cake Pops In Front Of Her Without Even Offering One
A striking red flag showing up right at the first date!
One first date can go from promising to painfully awkward in seconds, and this one did exactly that. A woman met a man at a café just before Valentine’s Day, expecting a simple coffee date and maybe a little charm.
Instead, the moment he started eating cake pops in front of her without offering one, the whole vibe changed. She later shared the story on Twitter, and the reaction took off fast.
Now people are debating whether it was a tiny slip or a major red flag. Read on.
Alisha shared her story on Twitter after going on a first date with a guy in a café.
She explained how the situation unfolded via the social platform. The man asked her preference for drinks because he was getting their orders.
Afterward, he came back with two cake pops in hand. Since this was a first date, you would think that the other cake pop was for Alisha, and she thought so, too.
Well, apparently, it wasn't. After the guy sat down, he ate both cake pops in front of her, without even asking if she wanted one or at least offering it.
alisharaiwritesThe cake pops were Valentine's Day-themed, and you would think he bought them to be sweet and romantic for his date.

That tiny detail was enough to set off a big debate.
While it may be a small detail for some, you can't deny that this kind of behavior is sketchy, especially on a first date.

Everyone deserves a piece of cake pop!

Many found the story relatable, but it sparked anger for some—particularly those who are avid fans of misogyny.

The point completely flew over his head, and he retained nothing at all. There are many other comments like this, too.

Also, this is the same kind of boundary as the etiquette expert who demanded separate bills.

It was a date. Wasn't he supposed to be considerate?

The viral tweet even made it to the Today show! Check out what the ladies have to say in this video:
Truth be told, not a lot of people truly understand why this matters to women, especially on first dates. It may seem like a minor thing when viewed from afar, but when you are in that particular situation, you come to realize that Alisha's reaction was actually valid.

Some first dates reveal everything.
Wait, it gets worse: see how someone left after their date fed them meat.
