Man was talking with date when they 'yelled' and began slamming their fist on table—he knew how to respond

Going on dates might not be the easiest experience each time due to differences in opinions. However, adults might expect another adult to express their disagreement respectfully and politely. Similarly, a man had to walk out of his brunch date because the other person created a scene by yelling and banging their fists on the table when they disagreed about something. The man–who goes by @solodolobcyolo on TikTok–shared his weird date experience with the internet.

"I just left a brunch date because I got yelled at at the table," the person recounted. "Now, I can handle being yelled at. I can generally handle big feelings, but just because you can handle something doesn't mean you have to deal with it." The date yelled at him because they didn't like his answer about something. "They asked me to describe my ideal partner." He usually didn't describe his ideal type and told that to his date. "In my experience, I think people try to fit the mold of what I'm looking for and make themselves seem ideal for me. But where I am in life and as I get older, I really want to find someone who naturally aligns with me. I'm looking for someone who is confident in being themselves. If it works, it works. If not, then not," he responded.

That's all the man said before his date got really mad at him. "Their immediate response to that was to pound their fist on the table and say, 'Not everyone is manipulative.'" The man was quite confused by the reaction and knew it was not going to be an "effective conversation." He added, "Because if that's the way you are going to express yourself as an adult, in public, nothing good is going to happen throughout the rest of the conversation." The man sat there quietly and just let the person finish with their "adult temper tantrum." Eventually, when the date was done, he quietly said, "I don't think this is going to work." He stood up and walked out of the place after that.

The man pointed out that he didn't have any problem leaving their date at the table if they acted like that. "Especially, if it's the first date." The caption read, "Like I'll just go. Doesn't matter who. Doesn't matter when. If you're doing this, I'm gonna let you do it by yourself, lol." People in the comments pointed out that the man dodged a bullet. @jarekwithak wrote, "By leaving, you dodged the 'I dated a narcissist and I need to go to therapy' chapter of your life. It wasn’t a canon event for you. You are winning!"

@sara_g_phl commented, "If they’re yelling at you in a restaurant on a first date, imagine what a nightmare they are in private after a few years when the real conflicts arise." @ttm_62 remarked, "What reason could you really have to yell at someone on the first date? Like nothing could piss me off that bad." @heypinkbaby shared, "They are 1000% manipulative. You answered properly and walked away properly. Chef's kiss." @lambchops1 expressed, "You triggered their deep-rooted insecurities rooted in inauthenticity. Definitely dodged a bullet!"
