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?

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.

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. [ EvilCheshire's advice column | Ask EvilCheshire A Question ]

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?
