The 'Friendship' Attempt
A man suggested starting their connection with friendship, which the speaker questions.
The speaker recounts a man initiating contact with the suggestion 'Let's be friends.' She expresses skepticism about platonic friendships between men and women, especially those involving daily correspondence and shared activities, unless in a group setting or as mere acquaintances. She believes such friendships often dissolve when one person enters a romantic relationship.
She consulted her friends about the man's intentions, using Instagram profiles as a point of discussion.
Maria discusses consulting her female friends about this man. They humorously debated his potential orientation ('gay construct') and looked at his Instagram profile to assess him. She notes her wariness of Instagram profiles that make it unclear who is 'sexier' in a potential couple, suggesting an inherent competition.
She prioritizes asking direct questions about financial status and intentions early on.
Before meeting, Maria asks her friends to help her inquire about the man's lifestyle, income, and whether he is gay. She emphasizes the importance of clarifying these fundamental aspects of a person's life and intentions, even before a formal date.
Despite initial 'friendship,' the situation became unclear when romantic intentions were denied.
After texting and meeting, their connection evolved beyond mere friendship. However, when Maria sought clarification about their status, the man denied wanting any relationship, leaving the situation ambiguous. This occurred at her home, implying a level of intimacy had already been established.
The man left abruptly, but later continued to communicate, creating further confusion.
The man departed unexpectedly, and Maria initially thought that was the end of it. However, he continued to text her, maintaining contact without clear intentions, which she found unsettling as it was neither a clear 'yes' nor 'no'.
Dating Disappointments: The Cafe Date
The speaker dislikes trendy cafes with limited, unappetizing menus and uncomfortable seating.
Maria expresses her aversion to trendy, modern cafes, finding them uncomfortable with minimalist menus that often lack hot food, offering only salads and coffee. She notes these places are typically not tasty, expensive, and unpleasant.
Her date was significantly late, arriving after she had already ordered and was waiting.
The man was 30-40 minutes late for their meeting at a cafe. By the time he arrived, Maria had already been seated, ordered a salad, and was finding the experience uninspiring.
The date was uninteresting, and the man lived in a rented apartment without saving for property.
The conversation with the man was unengaging. He spoke about living in a rented apartment and showed no inclination towards saving for or buying property, which raised concerns for Maria about his financial planning.
She insists on clarity regarding payment, offering to split the bill or pay for herself.
Maria explicitly states her preference for clarity on payment, offering to split the bill or pay for her own meal. She believes that if a man is interested, he will naturally offer to pay, and she has never encountered a situation where a man she liked asked her to pay for herself.
The date ended with the man paying, but without any warmth or desire for a second meeting.
The man paid for the meal, but the interaction lacked any expression of gratitude or enjoyment. They parted ways, and Maria had no intention of seeing him again.
Dating Disappointments: The McDonald's Date
She agreed to a spontaneous second date after the first was a failure.
After the disappointing cafe date, Maria, still feeling hungry and unfulfilled, decided to arrange another date on the same day with someone else who had recently contacted her.
The second date's location was unspecified, causing initial confusion and frustration.
The second man asked if she was hungry, which pleased her, but then failed to specify their meeting location. When they met at the metro, he remained silent about where they were going, leaving her bewildered, especially after his mention of food.
He suggested McDonald's as their dining option, despite nearby upscale restaurants.
He led her towards McDonald's, despite being near expensive restaurants like Pushkin and Turandot. Maria found this choice incongruous with the potential dining options and his earlier question about her hunger.
She, taking the lead, suggested an Israeli diner for a more substantial meal.
Maria, taking charge due to his lack of planning, suggested an Israeli diner known for generous portions and good food like hummus and pita, primarily because she needed to eat.
The date focused on his strict dietary habits and calorie counting, which she found off-putting.
During the meal, the man spoke extensively about his gym routine, meticulously counting his carbohydrates, proteins, and avoiding sugar and gluten. Maria found his overly restrictive and bland approach to food unappealing and indicative of a potentially joyless lifestyle.
He revealed he lives in a rented apartment and seemed unaware of her financial success, despite following her blog.
He mentioned living in a rented apartment. When discussing her location, he seemed surprised she owned property in the Tverskoy district, failing to connect it with her previously shared information about her financial achievements (buying an apartment with a mortgage) on Instagram. Maria found his lack of awareness illogical, given her online presence.
She again ensured clarity on payment, and he agreed to pay.

She left quickly via taxi, not wanting to spend more time with him.

She questions the definition of 'providing for' a woman, referencing past experiences.

She detected a mismatch in worldviews, leading to incompatibility.
Maria recognized that the man operated within his own paradigm of the world, which she did not understand and could not relate to. This lack of understanding, coupled with his seemingly unrealistic financial claims, led her to believe they would not get along.
His long tenure at one company suggested stagnation in income and career progression.
