How romantic 🙄

Let me take her to Target and really blow her mind….

BrightIdeaGenerator · 2022-02-05T01:39:01+00:00

That would be fun, in a relationship. On a date with someone I don't know? Seeeesh.

Reminds of a 90-day fiance.

There's an episode where Robert takes Anny to the thrift store and she freaks the fuck out lol.

Before she moved to America he spent the whole time gassing her up telling her he was going to buy her designer goods and that they were going to live in a beautiful home... but it turned out to be the opposite... she spend most of the season taking care of his child....cleaning.....cooking....and fighting with his son's porn-star grandma (yes she was a pornstar lol)...the least he could do was take her to the dam mall or something.

In the comment section, you can spot a couple of women saying that they would have loved it If Robert took them to the thrift store. 😭😂😭😂😭😂😭

I'm like...Jesus, y'all will do anything for a man's approval.

Youtube- Robert's Cheapass

This made me think :

Get some 40s of Miller lite at the gas station and a pack of Menthols. Walk to Goodwill. Meet your “date”. Buy some essentials. Smoke some crack under a bridge. Go back to your trailer park. Wholesome.

The cool girls©️ low maintenance girls™️ don’t need much to make me happy girls®️ aren’t gonna like this one🤪

Competitive_Bar8657 · 2022-02-05T01:49:05+00:00

He takes you shopping like he's you gay best friend to pick outfits for each other? I have friends for that.

The_Cat_Empress · 2022-02-05T04:57:33+00:00

Yo, I LOVE thrifting.

But that’s stuff I do with my Grandma. If a potential life mate came along and did the same I’d just think he doesn’t care and sees me as only cheap and nothing else lmao.

BlastsRasta · 2022-02-05T00:59:26+00:00

This seems like just another lazy excuse to not spend a dime on dates 🙄. As a gay lady I'd be mortifed if I took a girl to a thrift shop for a date jesus. Nothing wrong with thrift shops of course, but its like taking a date to a garage sale or something...🤦‍♀️

ButterfliesHurricane · 2022-02-05T08:22:24+00:00

Gad to google thrifting…. First date in a charity shop is the new low 🙈. Why bother at all? I wonder if they warn them before… if a guy was telling me we were doing that, I’d just say ‘I’m not’🤣

warinmymind94 · 2022-02-05T07:17:10+00:00

Angry scrotes are getting triggered by this. If you can't even buy a woman dinner than you need to go to work. Imagine if I theoretically went to a thrift store or walk date and told my grandparents that... how embarrassing! Imagine telling your friends... I'd be embarrassed. My grandparents would have been appalled to hear any man considers walks or thrifts a date.

Noemie_Mathilde · 2022-02-05T12:32:50+00:00

Only appropriate if you have planned to go to a fany dress party together and are buying silly clothes. Deffo not a date...is it a scrote ploy to ogle your body when you try stuff on?

Equal-Ear2312 · 2022-02-05T06:19:52+00:00

okay so it was the second date 🙃 but still, I knew he was a keeper after that 😌

did you know... you can self-gaslight?

🙃

Self-gaslighting is when we pick up the torch from the gaslighter. We internalize their abuse (or lack of protection from it) and begin to gaslight ourselves.

peaches88888 · 2022-02-05T04:58:37+00:00

I was asked to go thrifting by a dude on OLD. He suggested coffee and thrifting. I was super turned off and I unmatched (he also kept using this face =] a lot, it creeped me out) Is thrifting a common date idea? It seems like it would be so awkward!

Mcccy · 2022-02-05T14:57:07+00:00

That's fun to do with like. A friend. Or your grandma. Or your sibling. A date idea? No.

MinMiddleEast · 2022-02-05T00:45:47+00:00

I love thrifting and even I would be weirded out at the suggestion of going thrifting as a first date.

If you do not have the skills required to keep a light, engaging conversation going for the duration of a 90 minute meal, please don't ask me out. I certainly have the skills to do that and I will not go out with anyone less than my equal.

PeachPitiless · 2022-02-05T16:36:18+00:00

Lol oh Lord, this happened to me on a first date. Even pre-FDS pickme me was thoroughly unimpressed.

theresalimit5 · 2022-02-05T03:39:32+00:00

On a second date? Lol no. It would be fun in a relationship if it's a shared interest but not getting to know someone.

lolmemberberries · 2022-02-05T16:27:26+00:00

I love thrifting, but that isn't a date.

thisthatshit_ · 2022-02-05T07:30:44+00:00

THISSS OMFGGG

MacrameGoose34 · 2022-02-05T00:46:27+00:00

I thought my thrifting first date was so twee, until I realized that's all he could afford🥲 I buy statement pieces from the thrift store, he gets his t shirts there🙃

herbivorouscarnivore · 2022-02-05T07:41:41+00:00

I don’t like thrifting, so this sounds like a godawful time to me.

SupremeDearLeader · 2022-02-06T02:44:00+00:00

Cant wait to see that engagement ring rock, will need a high power microscope..... Setting those standards LOOOOOW at the jump , men do this instinctively if they aren't serious about you.

geologykitty · 2022-02-06T14:37:33+00:00

That's something I'd totally have fun doing with my fiance.

If he'd taken me to do this on our first date, however, he never would have become my fiance.
