A woman has has told how she was roasted by a man she went on a date with six months ago - for not calling him back.
More often than not first dates end in an awkward hug, followed by a courteous "thank you" - so Amy Botrill from London was no doubt surprised when she received a message from a man she went on a single date with in October last year, calling her 'disrespectful'.
Sharing the excruciating exchange on Twitter, the anonymous man messaged Amy saying: "Do you know how disrespectful it is to have someone take you out on a date, pay for everything, drop you home, then to never call or text that person back."

Apparently baffled as to why Amy hadn't called him for a follow-up date, the scorned singleton added a dramatic shocked-face emoji to the end of his message, followed by the location pin emoji, which we honestly can't decode...
Amy calmly replied: "Have you really been holding that grudge for nearly 6 months?"
The man then appeared to try and play it cool while giving Amy a chance to reconcile, saying: "Nope. Life is too short for grudges darling. However, don't let that stop any reconciling you may have been considering."

Keeping a cool head, Amy responded: "I don't get what this is about but I wasn't disrespectful in any way, if you wanted to see me again you could have said... but that didn't happen and I assumed we both didn't feel much chemistry so I kept it moving."
Appearing to not get the hint, the man insisted, "You've got some making up to do Amy", to which she succinctly replied, "I'm good!"
The man then declared: "Babe, blow the dust off my number and be nice to me. It took alot [sic] for me to reach out to you after the way you behaved so you should be making much more of an effort right now."

After telling the man she just wasn't interested and then being asked why, at this point Amy - still showing immense restraint - told him exactly why he didn't get a second date. (As if she needed to explain!)
"Because we had 1 fairly awkward date and you didn't seem to fancy me or want to see me again, now it's nearly 6 months later and you think the way to get my interest/attention is by being hostile and entitled and calling me disrespectful? Nah I'm good thanks."
And this point, the anonymous gentleman let loose on Amy, dissing her first date outfit.

"To be honest you came on our date dressed like you was attending a funeral, of someone you didn't like... quite a contrast to the ways you were dressed in the sexually arousing pictures you were delighting me with prior."
TBH, 'attending a funeral of someone you didn't like' is an aesthetic we can get on board with.
Speaking to Pretty52, Amy said: "Sadly I don't think this is unusual at all and that's probably why it's been shared so much - thousands of women seem to have very similar experiences or even worse.
"I can laugh about these messages but straight men's entitlement to women's time and attention is a real problem and can actually be very unsettling or threatening.

"This is an example of a wider symptom that literally hurts or kills women every day - a perceived slight against someone's ego or a polite rejection can lead to harassment, abuse, stalking, violence."
Amy's text message conversation went viral on Twitter with many calling out the man's painful lack of game. Bitter much?
Our thoughts? You don't owe anyone a second date if you're not feeling it and especially not if they are guilt-tripping you.
