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

When you enter the dating scene, you come to realize that first impressions really matter, especially on first dates. You get all dolled up, mist yourself with your expensive perfume, and put on a chic outfit to impress the person with whom you will be spending your day or night.

First impressions can either make or break your relationship, so it's understandable that people put in a lot of time and effort, especially when they really like the person. However, some people just don't have the common sense to be considerate on first dates at all.

That's what happened to contemporary romance novelist Alisha Rai, who went on a date with a guy just before Valentine's Day. She was meeting him in a café for a cup of coffee as a first date, but that didn't end well because of something the guy did—or in this case, didn't do.

She shared her story via Twitter, and it went viral. Let's just say that when the cake pops came out, the date quickly went downhill.

Her story sparked discussions among people about how dating manners are really important, especially on first dates, to score some points. Some people can't seem to comprehend this, including the man with whom Alisha went on a date.

Check out her story below!

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.

The cake pops were Valentine's Day-themed, and you would think he bought them to be sweet and romantic for his date.

The tweet went viral, gathering almost 340k likes and over 24k retweets.

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.
