We were out for dinner, and she mistreated the waitress. My date was this beam of warmth and kindness to me, and a vessel of cold cruelty to the girl.She treated her like a slave-servant, made everything difficult and painful for the waitress, who quickly stopped smiling.I can’t be with people who can’t show respect.So I told her I was going to pee, paid the bill, personally apologized to the waitress and let her tell the date to lose my number after I left

Don’t want to date girls who have too many problems or complain too much about other people.
