don't understand why date was so offended


Question Posted Friday December 16 2005, 7:34 pm

I went on a date with this guy that had liked me for a long time.
The date was at a local restaurant. He was starting to look a little bored so I tried to use humour to lighten the mood.
I told him that sometimes my dad shaves his face with an electric razor when he's driving. I thought this was hilarious, and other people that I've told also thought it was quite funny.
Well his reaction? He gave me the dirtiest look and never said a word. I felt really stupid.
But I didnt think what I said was that bad.
Was my date overreacting or did he have a right to look that way?

Remember we are all different in our own ways. some people might think it was funny some may not. And thats just apart of knowing him better next time you just watch out...its not that bad though...i think...

well some people think things are funny and some not. i think that he was just one of them that thought it wasn't funny.

I personally think that's hilarious. hehehehe....your dad's kinda weird, no offense.

Your date was overreacting. That's not really offending, unless he does the same and he's just really embarrassed about it.

The guy sounds like a weirdo.

Umm, what the hell? I'm not sure why someone would be offended by something like that. There is nothing at all offensive about that comment.

Maybe he thought the setting was inappropriate for the joke (while you were in a restaurant), but apart from that I have no clue why he would be offended. I think he was overreacting a bit, and if he can't have fun or laugh a little, it's not really someone you want to be with. It sounds he needs to loosen up a LOT.

It sounds like he was really overreacting. He doesn't seem to have much sense of humor. On my dates a guy can say something that I don't find funny at all but I'll still humor them a little and at least laugh a little.

I think that maybe he thought he either went on the date with the wrong girl or maybe he had plans that night that he thought were more important than ya'll date or maybe just maybe your not experienced with dating no offense but bringing up the whole dad shaving in the car thing THIS IS A DATE NOT A COMEDY CLUB not being rude seriously but i'm just sayin try being more romantic than humorous try telling him how attractive you think he is etc.

Meh. Who knows? Sounds like he found it inappropriate.

It could have been something else of course, but unless you ask him you’ll never know. But regardless, it sounds like the date wasn’t a phenomenal success and no mater how long he has had a crush on you for it seems like you have a vastly different sense of humor. Do you really want to go out with him again?

If not, it doesn’t matter at all what he thought.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything but I would find it pretty inappropriate especially while you are having dinner.


I don't think your date was overreacting and he had every right to give you the look he gave you.
