How would you take this

[countrygirl12]

Good thing I am not a female but I think I would just say "thank you so much for bringing me here to this place and I think you deserved to know the truth. The truth is, is this your first time on a date? Never ask a girl something like that". After you help him out maybe consider that his first and only date with you. Unless u want to give him a second chance. LOL

It could go both ways.  Girls are pretty mean in what they say to guys some times.  Esp if a more fit girl goes out with a guy who is over weight.  She may just think to herself "do you really need 3 desserts" or she may just flat out tell him...."you have made too many trips to the all you can eat buffet".  Or tell him you need to drink a diet drink.  Whatever.  I would never say that to a guy.  Or any one.

[countrygirl12]

Not many places I know of even offer diet Sprite as a drink option. In fact, I think the only restaurant where I have ever seen it was at an old Country Buffet that was last in our mall about ten years ago.  That was always a funny sight.  People eating ten plates of food and drinking diet Sprite for their beverage!   

I have never seen it.  I have seen diet coke or diet pepsi.  With me I can't drink caffeine so I always drink whatever if caffeine free.  Usually Sprite or what ever variation they have.  Or at A&W they have caffeine free root beer.  It is the best.

I would be a bit pissed and offended, naturally. I would probably throw an insult in kind his way...and it wouldn't be subtle.

lol.

He probably said that because most females are worried about their weight AND too you guys were ordering food, and he was probably thinking about all the calories you two would be eating. Unless he mentions weight again, or you guys were gonna workout together and watch your weight, I would leave him.

Well your comment started off good.  I kind of thought it was a joke or jab because most females are always saying they are fat and watching what they eat.  But then you say he was probably thinking about all the calories being eaten....well that is nothing to him.  And if I knew a guy had that thought I would punch him in the throat. lol.  Seems like the first guy I ever dated made a comment about what I ate when we went out.  Actually, I am thinking he ordered for me.  But I was young and stupid. haha.

[countrygirl12]

all i ever drink is diet coke so i'd be good to go any way !!

So turn it around.  What if he said that artificial sweetener is bad for you.  You sure you don't want a regular?

[JaniceSW]

I would come right out and ask why he felt I should be drinking a diet drink and the response better be well thought out and respectful.  I would also wait to see what else came out of his mouth and if his social skills remain poor, I would be not going on a second date.

[brian8713]

That's pretty ignorant, and yes, I would assume he's calling you fat. Whether you choose diet soda or not is none of his business. Don't give this schmuck a second date.

[sherryinutah]

He sounds pretty awkward and he might want to get some people skills before he goes out on his next date.  Diet drinks are a personal choice.  Some people are unable to tolerate artificial sweetners.

 

[heypeg]

It would be our last date. That is rude.

[Cbsteffen]

That sounds rude to me!

[mrsmere]

I would say something like,  I'm grown and eat and drink what I want.  If I think it's a weight thing I'll say why don't we forget the soda and both order air and water.  Sounds like someone that wants to be in control or he has a very weak sense of humor.  I would probably leave because you can't get that wasted time back and I don't want him sapping my energy.

[bremer51]

I have a tendency to misinterpret people. So I hold judgement for awhile.  If you like him, see how it plays out.  You should know by dessert.  If he comments about dessert, whack him with your purse and vacate.

[bretay]

i would get up and leave...

[Azuresapphy]

I would have been like byee

[w3s]

I would find it weird and a tad sexist, but not a big deal. Maybe he's just nervous, and it's only a microagressoon

[davissy]

Wow, what a rude person.  Maybe he was nervous and blurt out the wrong thing?  Still, I think a comment like that would just doomed the date, what a bad first impression.

[candyterrius]

For any female internal monologue, it would be, “this guy has to go.”  I personally do not drink soda so that outcome may not happen. But sooner or later, it won’t take long for me to discover his true character to decide whether there will be a second date. I may just kindly inform him his comment won’t score him an instant home run with the next girl.
