OK, so you’re on a date and your paramour orders a coffee for you, coffee for himself…and ALSO two cake pops. Aw, romantic! Except…both cake pops are his. He does not offer one to you. He doesn’t even mention cake pops to you. I repeat: Your date orders two cake pops, doesn’t even think about offering you one, and then eats both of them in front of you. Like a savage.
The woman who found herself in this exact scenario posted about her crappy date on Twitter:
yesterday I met a guy for coffee and he asked what I’d like to drink and went and fetched the order. And he came back with two cake pops and I was like aw that’s cute! and then he ate them both. in front of me.
………….so like he’s clearly a monster right

She writes, “Yesterday I met a guy for coffee and he asked what I’d like to drink and went and fetched the order,” she wrote. “And he came back with two cake pops and I was like aw that’s cute! and then he ate them both. in front of me. ………….so like he’s clearly a monster right.”
Yes, Alisha. He is clearly a monster!
Here’s what Alisha had to say a full day later. Clearly, she was still perplexed.
it’s a whole day (almost twenty four hours) later and I am still marveling over this man who is on a date and buys two whole cake pops—which is equal to the number of people on this date—and doesnt offer a single cake pop. to said date.

To stick salt in the wound…
I should add they were Valentine’s cake pops with little hearts on them 🥺

Some Twitter users were like, “at least he’s honest about who he is,” which is…a good thing?
I mean, a kudo to him for having it all right out there like that. No guesswork. But that’s it. He gets one single kudo.

Others sided with the guy. Apparently not even offering to get someone something on a date is totally okay and normal and not rude.
I understand where you’re coming from, but I’d give him another chance.

The whole debate seems very strange to me. Am I the only person who simply orders what she wants without expecting someone else to cater for me? I would never expect someone else’s dessert 😳

Yall sound entitled to something you could just as easily go up and pay for yourself

My wife would buy things like that and eat it all and tell me I didn’t eat fast enough 😂 but she’d still offer to share I just had to be quick

But this is more like it:
This guy gave you an instant snapshot of what marriage to him would be like.

Case in point:
once I met a guy for coffee and he asked what I wanted and got it and after I took a sip said “I hope I didn’t roofie that”

But most people on Twitter were not too pleased about cake pop guy:
So you grabbed the cake pop sticks and stabbed him, right?
That seems first bad date stab worthy to me… pic.twitter.com/EPUugl9YZe

That’s so rude and I’d literally be mad enough to leave. Even if he needed two, he couldn’t have gotten one for you???

Some people underscored Alisha’s point by sharing their own terrible date stories.
How about when he orders then you order then he says “you got this” (doesn’t ask, he says it) 😑

That’s so sad and so awful. I just know you rocked that performance though and it’s his absolute loss for missing that!

Friend went on a date where he BYOd a cheap bottle of wine, they had a glass each, he refilled his, not her empty one and went cool that’ll be nice to have at home later!
She obviously never saw him again.

Went on a coffee date. I buy a small drink. He asks why I didn’t buy food. I say I am broke and can’t afford it, but no biggie if he wants to eat he can. He then buys a TON of food. Like way too much food. He eats about half of it and throws the rest away without offering me any. pic.twitter.com/UKesIylwAJ

Look, the way a person acts on a date is probably representative of how he’s gonna act when you’re settled into what would definitely become a long and horrible relationship with no cake pops:
hey I dated this box before

That’s the type of monster who wouldn’t share a floating door when the Titanic stinks. Cut him loose.
— Lillie (@lillie_80) February 15, 2020
I hate him
I don’t even like cake pops but I hate him
— Chaos Chaplain (@suesswassersee) February 15, 2020
Seconded. I don’t even like cake pops and if someone did that to me I think I’d probably call it a day because of how rude it is.
