A woman has sparked debate online after revealing the four word message that put her off going on a first date.

The woman explained that after she made a profile on a dating app, she started chatting to a man who asked her out for food.

While she was initially enthusiastic about meeting up, she shared a second message the man sent which has completely put her off.

Taking to Mumsnet, the woman asked if she should still go ahead with the date as planned, or if she should run a mile.

But people were pretty divided with their views.

While some agreed it would be an instant turn off, others said they thought she should at least give the date a chance.

“I made a profile on an app and some guy’s asked me out for a bite to eat. I said yes, and we’ve agreed to meet this weekend,” the woman explained in her post.

“Now he’s said shall we have a short walk first before the food to ‘see how we feel’?

“That’s obviously code for, I’ll see if I fancy you and if not I don’t have to eat with you. It wasn’t a fancy sit down meal, just a quick bite to eat like.

“Should I still go ahead? I don’t know why, this has put me off slightly.

“It was only some waffle place, I wouldn’t go for a formal meal for a first date either. Should I still go?”

Explaining he wanted to walk around the city, she added: “I just don’t want to feel like I’m being assessed so much.

“A waffle/crepe whatever is hardly a court summons, it’s barely more than a coffee. If I’m that grotesque surely he can finish it quickly and go?”

People were pretty divided, but many agreed it didn’t make sense to walk aimlessly through a town centre.

“I would never ever go for a walk as a date unless it was someone who was into hiking. Walking down the road with someone is not a date,” one person wrote.

And another said: “I could understand him not wanting to do a whole formal meal type of thing but a waffle!

“At least with a waffle, once you’ve finished you can leave if you don’t like him.

“What do you do on an aimless walk? Keep walking awkwardly with no end in site. That’s a no for me.”

Others thought the woman was being too harsh, however.

One added: “I think you’re being a bit sensitive – it makes sense to suss the other person out before committing to a meal.

“Doesn’t necessarily mean fancying, but what if their vibes are just totally off? Gives you a chance to suss him out too.”

And another said: “No way would I have food on a first date. Eating in front of someone you don’t know is just cringe. Have a short walk and grab a coffee.”

What do you think?

If you ask for the date, should you pick up the cheque?

The question of who should split the bill is often a tricky one.

On one hand, some say the person who did the asking should at least offer to pay. But, considering it’s *very* early days, is it fair to split it?

Well, TikTok has had its say after one man shared a video of his date getting pretty riled up after he asked her to go halves.

You can watch the moment below…

In the clip, the TikToker – aka @thewaterboy – can be seen covertly recording the argument, as the woman slams her credit card into the folder and asks: “Why are we splitting the bill?”

Trying to offer an explanation, the TikToker waffles on about it being their first date, and even tries to justify it by pointing out that she ordered an appetiser, which he ‘didn’t touch’.

“It’s our first date so I thought maybe we should go halves?” he says.

In the car home, the woman is still peeved.

“I can’t believe you made us split the bill… you asked me out… you asked me out,” she added.

Again, he tries to explain: “I know, but you ordered something that I didn’t want.”

So awkward.

In the caption, @thewaterboy added: “I don’t even know her and she wanted to split the bill??? After SHE ordered an appetizer that i didn’t want!!

“THIS is what it’s like dating in MIAMI smh. I gotta move somewhere else, these girls are ENTITLED.”

People went in pretty hard on the issue, with almost everyone criticising the guy for his behaviour.

One wrote: “I’m with her. You asked for the date… you pay!”

While another said: “If you can’t afford to date then don’t! You split the bill with friends or with people that you have no intention of courting.”

And a third added: “Date? Nah you’re a friend if we split the bill. lol.”

“I’ll offer to split the bill to seem polite, but he should pay. There would be no second date. This guy is ridiculous,” added a fourth.

The guy got pretty rinsed in the comments section, with hundreds telling him he should have paid.

Some women said they always offer to pay (but never really expect to), while the occasional few were more sympathetic to the guy’s point of view.

One wrote: “My girl always splits the bill with me.”

We get the feeling this response was not what he was expecting.

It’s 1 November, so it’s time to put the Christmas tree up (jokes). For some people, however, the first day of the month marks the return of ‘No Nut November’.

The trend that’s gained traction on social media over the years encourages people (mainly men) to go through the whole month of November without sex or masturbation.

Some people that take part say it comes with a load of health benefits, like reduced erectile dysfunction, increased happiness and boosted confidence.

Yet others believe that can lead to many issues, one or perhaps two of them being ‘blue balls’.

If you don’t have a w*nk this month, you’ll be glad to know that – despite the rumours – they won’t resemble a Smurf.

However, they may have a bit of a blue tinge due to the blood circulation rushing to the genitals and engorging your veins.

With an eyebrow-raising name and a track record of making grown men grimace in pain, it’s no wonder we’re scared of them.

But ignore all the horror stories you heard in high school, as its reputation as a dangerous condition is a bit dramatic.

Basically, blue balls refers to a painful sensation some men experience after prolonged sexual arousal without orgasming.

Some blokes describe is at as a strange ache, a feeling of heaviness, or straight up discomfort in their testicles.

Officially known as epididymal hypertension, it occurs when there’s an increase in blood flow to your genitals when you’re aroused which brings about an erection.

The veins that typically take blood away from the genitals restrict and trap it there.

When you ejaculate and you’ve hit the peak of arousal, the blood vessels return to their usual size and everything goes back down to normal.

But if you don’t release this build-up of pressure, the blood flow will be uncomfortably inflating your genitals.

Although blue balls are uncomfortable, it’s not actually dangerous and usually doesn’t last long. The tenderness of your testicles should subside once the erection has passed and blood flow returns to normal.

There is obviously a DIY method to sort this out, that I’m sure you don’t need me to remind you about. But if you’re stuck in a public place with blue balls, you can always try distracting your mind to get rid of them instead.

Medical News Today recommends taking a cold shower to help restrict blood flow to the genitals or lying down to help divert it away from the testicles.

You could also try exercising to encourage normal blood flow around the body, lifting something heavy to exert pressure elsewhere, or applying a warm compress to ease the pain.

If it’s really that bad, you might be better taking some over-the-counter pain relief to make yourself more comfortable.

A new dating trend has been doing the rounds, as getting ‘zombied’ is becoming more and more common.

Just when you thought getting orbited or ghosted wasn’t enough, you can now get zombied.

Maybe next you can get vampired?

People have been warned about the new trend, which is taking the dating world by storm.

Dating nowadays is exhausting, with there being a number of dating apps to choose from, each with their own features and quirks.

So many decisions, so much to consider.

It can genuinely be more of a headache to set up the accounts, match with someone, organise a date, then actually go on it than it is to meet someone the old fashioned way.

Millennials and Gen Z singles may have it the worst out of previous generations, and when you add these ‘dating trends‘ into the mix, it makes it even more difficult.

Getting zombied is the latest thing to worry about, and it has been explained in a TikTok by Adelle, who is a dating coach.

“Forget being ghosted, you should be more worries about being zombied,” she begins to explain.

Described as one of the worst trends she has heard in a while, it’s not a very promising start.

Adelle continues: “Being zombied is kind of like being ghosted.

“Except he comes back from the dead after a few months and hits you up like it’s no big deal!”

She also says that if he (or she) just left or ignored you without any notice or any explanation, you should ‘leave him in the dust’ as it’s ‘not something you need to bring back to life.’

Smart, I get the whole zombie thing now.

I think we’ve met someone like this one time or another though, and it’s important that you stay strong if it happens again.

There’s a lot to be aware of out there folks.

Social media and phones give people a new way to date, but it also brings on all of these strings attached.

One viewer jokingly commented: “The Walking Date,” in reference to the TV show, which gave me a chuckle.

But it is important that people are aware of being zombied, because whether it be you or a friend, you don’t want to get sucked into wasting your time on a zombie – they’re just going to disappear again!

We all deserve better, so keep your wits about you and stay alert for any of the Walking Dead.
