if the chemistry is not there, no need to spend more than 30min $20 on a first date.

i'm a guy .. and last week met a lady who i'd been chatting to via text for a while. she shows up while im in line waiting for my coffee .. and she is already looking flustered. i ask if everything is ok. she says i smell bad. i say, ok thanks for the feedback, i will not be offended if you want to leave (and i'm thinking to myself she was flustered when she walked in and blurted that out in a minute and not having been particularly close to me to really smell me .. )

but she decides to stay a while and sit ..i offer to buy her coffee .. try to make small talk but she seems a million miles away talking to herself under hear breath .. bit weird .. and after about 10min of the most awkward date gets up and leaves

i could not stop laughing. at the situation. a couple days later i'm with my favorite fwb sharing our dating stories of the past couple weeks with her and she promises me i've never ever smelled bad .. and she knows my dating profile (helps me take pics and tweak it) and always tells me i look much better in person than my pics since I'm not particularly photogenic

I don't take that as a hit to my self esteem if anything i take it as wow, how bad a day that girl must have had

However, you shouldn’t attempt to screen dates with video calls. I’m not doing my hair and make up for a FaceTime call, which I dislike even for family and friends. And it won’t give you a full length view anyway.
