I think ghosting is sometimes the right call, and my date at the Blue Moon Diner proved it
Everyone says you should always give a clear 'no thanks' text, but this guy spent the whole hour complaining about his ex and then asked me to loan him $40 for his half of the bill. I just left, blocked his number, and felt zero guilt. It took me a full week to stop being mad about the whole thing. Has anyone else had a date so bad that a clean break felt like the only safe option?

The Blue Moon Diner is a rough spot for a first date, I'll give you that. But ghosting just makes everything worse for everyone trying to date now. That guy was clearly out of line asking for money, but a simple "this isn't working" text before you block takes two seconds. Leaving someone hanging, even when they're awful, just adds to the general mess of dating. It's a basic courtesy that keeps things from getting more confusing.

Disagree, sometimes ghosting is the only safe move. Not everything needs a formal goodbye.

The guy asked her to pay him back for the gas to get there. That's not just out of line, it's unhinged. Basic courtesy flew out the window the second he said that.
