The internet has been left flabbergasted by a woman's brutal response to a man asking her out for an ice cream.
The dating scene can be rough at times, as meet cutes have quickly been replaced with apps where you mindlessly swipe at people, hoping for a connection.
What is deemed a good date can differ from person to person, and everyone has different expectations of what they want in a partner.
But who knew that ice cream could be so divisive when it comes to dating?
Taking to the Tinder subreddit on Reddit, one unlucky man called Vance revealed some text messages that showed that he was brutally rejected... all because he wanted ice cream.
"I guess ice cream dates are considered a terrible idea nowadays," Vance's caption read - and he has the evidence to support it.
The pair had met on Tinder and the conversation progressed over to swapping phone numbers, and the hopeful romantic messaged his potential partner saying who he was.
After she replied, he mustered the courage to ask her out on a date, making sure to be respectful and giving her the option of being picked up or meeting at the location if she wasn't comfortable being in a car with him.
Noting that the weather had been particularly hot, Vance asked his potential date whether she'd want to go and get ice cream, which seems pretty reasonable.
She replied: "Sorry if this may come off as rude but I don’t do ice cream dates. I’m a 26-year-old woman and a date like that seems like the absolute bare minimum for me. Meeting up would be a waste of both of our times since we probably don’t have the same vibe. Best wishes."
I guess she really doesn't like ice cream.
People were quick to offer their thoughts, as one sweetly replied: "I would get ice cream w you (I am a dude tho but we can talk about dude stuff)."
A second added: "WOW. I’d be so happy with a date idea that wasn’t the same old thing. She’s missing out. You’ll find someone to appreciate your ice cream date."
However, one person started a new subreddit to call out the man and support the woman.
They wrote: "The woman here was polite, communicated clearly, and in my opinion did nothing wrong or worthy of being mocked by hundreds of strangers. She is allowed to think an ice cream date isn’t fun or interesting or worth her time."
Perhaps this was a simple case of two people wanting different things.
Hopefully, the woman finds a man who meets her needs because Vance is not short of invitations to go and get ice cream.
