I was brutally honest with a woman I went on a date with
We met on a dating app. We hit it off immediately so decided to meet. We met at a cafe. Nothing too fancy. She was very pretty and very nice.
However, when I sat down, I smelled something foul.
At first I thought it was something being cooked. It was not. I quickly realized the horrid smell was wafting from her.
It wasn’t just a mildly inconvenient stink either. This was a legitimate make-your-eyes-water STENCH. So I pretended not to notice and continued making conversation.
the date ended and we went our separate ways. I was finally free to breathe in some fresh air.
The next day, she texted me asking if I wanted to meet up again. I said that I didn’t think I’d be able to make it. She understood.
Then a few days later she asked again and I said I wasn’t feeling up to it.
Then, after another few days, she asked if I didn’t like her or if she had said something to offend me. My parents always taught me to tell the truth, so I said that she was a perfectly nice person, but I informed her that I did not want to meet again because she smells really bad.
I have not gotten a reply. It has been 8 days.
Netizens’ comments
- What did she smell like
- (OP) It’s hard to describe. It was kind of like a garbage dump mixed with some kind of genital stench.
- Was it her breath or a body odour? You did the right thing to say something. As long as you weren’t rude.
- She’ll be hurt and upset. But hopefully she’ll realise that you did her a favour in the long run?
