At what point do I just get up and walk out of the date?
By @finnkindof · Dating
I'm on a first date with this guy and it’s going pretty well. Then the waiter brings our food, and he pulls a tiny, travel-sized bottle of ranch dressing out of his jacket pocket.
The full story
So I'm on this date. The conversation is flowing, we're laughing, I'm thinking 'okay, this could work.' The food arrives at our table. And then. It's like a scene from a movie. He reaches into his coat, and I'm thinking, what, his wallet? A mint? No. He pulls out a tiny, clearly well-traveled bottle of ranch dressing. He gives me a little wink, like we're in on a secret together, and proceeds to douse his very expensive steak in it. It wasn't even a joke. He was dead serious. I just stared at my salmon and didn't know what to say.

What people are saying
@noahhmm — marry him immediately this is king behavior
@vincehm — A man of principle. I respect it.
@quinnyy — A man comfortable enough to bring his own condiments to a first date is a man with nothing to hide, and that's a huge green flag.
@zanefr — bruh
@sighsame — Honey, the fact you just sat there and didn't spit out your water laughing is a real testament to your character.
