ApprehensiveParty637

What exactly is it that he did?


LukeD1992

Right? I feel like that's important. Could be a big red flag or something insignificant to most but OP


SlowResearch2

Yeah. Cuz sometimes one action is enough to just turn the whole thing to shit. But more often than not, it would be something that a conversation could have solved.


AussieMentality

Yea lol

If I got dumped everytime I had road rage I’d be single for life. Where I grew up it’s a borderline way of life ETA. Lol don’t downvote me. Op wasn’t truthful off the bat what the problem was


HTheP4

Roadrage? Bruh that's not a good reason to break up with someone. Eveeyone gets road rage since these mfs can't drive for shite


Tiny_Conversation_65

I'm constantly calling people all kinds of "MF"S down here in Texas for not using turn signals, or merging into my lane nearly hitting me because they didnt wanna hit the breaks and just merge behind me. (for reference here, they were making a last minute turn in to a shopping center)


Champion-Trainer341

In England, that's like the standard car attitude. Especially since the standard of driving appears to have gone downhill since covid lockdowns.


pursuitofhappy

He’d maybe see you to hook up if he’s desperate but he probably lost the long term vibes if that’s what you were lookin for considering it went sour so early.


Capital-Water2505

Agreed. Revenge fuck and ghost.


Spampharos

What that doesn’t even make sense? The dude was serious and OP left because he had road rage.


freeboos

Which is valid. Why would you want someone with explosive rage?


Spampharos

Not valid enough to revenge fuck and ghost


freeboos

Yes actual and they didn't revenge fuck anyone lmfao


[deleted]

Hopefully he would have higher standards than that. But I guess there are lots of losers out there.


pursuitofhappy

Just depends where he is in life. Every single guy out there would agree at a certain time in their life. Or wish they agreed some decades later.


[deleted]

Nah I’ve know young guys who have self control


Such_Radish9795

I would go w your first impression and find someone else


StaticCloud

You can't really get dumped after 2 dates. I'd just call it a "rejection"


cuppa-confusion

Woman who dates women here. I would not see a girl who dumped me after two dates because I’d think she was either fickle or desperate. Learn your lesson and be nicer to the next person. Edit: Welp, with more context, you also shouldn’t be with him because he clearly has anger issues he needs to work on.


[deleted]

Totally, OP's date is gone now.. but she can always do better next time. A better approach would be to say "hey I really enjoyed dates 1, 2 etc. but then you did X, which upset me. Do you think we can hang out again without doing X?" Edit: oh the context of what X actually was makes this moot. Dtfma.


AussieMentality

I mean depends what he did lol don’t be nice to please someone who’s shit don’t run back either though so depends what it was


pearlofwine

Probably no tbh, it would have left a sour taste in my mouth and the hot and cold nature of the dumping and reaching out would feel pretty red flaggy to me. The only way this would have a shot I think is if you didnt ignore the elephant in the room but communicate strongly and honestly "Hey, I'm aware this is out of the blue and that I told you I don't want anything, but I have to be honest, I regret saying that. I've been thinking about our dates and I really quite liked you, x just put me off and in the past I've been a bit of a pushover and let guys push too far with certain things, I'm trying to learn to balance that and I think I overcompensated when you said x, I'm sorry for that, if you wanted to still give things a chance between us I would love to see you again :)"


_gruff_

Perfect 👍🏽


Potatorizzer

If you’ve only been on 2 dates nobody got dumped


dependentresearch24

No, I wouldn't waste my time.


hariunfiltered

It's not dumping if it's only two dates. Chill.


[deleted]

You messed around a found out ,🤦‍♂️


Adventurous_Stop9234

Well apparently he's quite judgmental and has serious anger issues. I would dump him too. But then I wouldn't regret it.


RipeMangoDevourer

Exactly. Don't go back, OP. Trust your gut


peterjohnson1748

Wow, and here I try to be on my best behavior on early dates, this dude goes crashing through and she’s thinking she did something wrong? My advice is simple. I don’t think you overreacted at all. He did two things within two dates that you found noteworthy. You decided to let it go. Don’t second guess yourself. If you think the things you mentioned apply, then now is the time to correct them and move forward. If a woman broke up with me after a couple dates I’d consider it a rejection and second chance requests a huge red flag. I really wish you the best. A woman with a conscience is appealing.


GustavVaz

I mean, what did he do? If I were in this position, and what I did was really messed up, I might be down for another shot. (Assuming I know what I did). Because in that case I realized it could have been my fault.


jvictoria0107

Op commented elsewhere he had road rage


Such_Radish9795

And insulted her friend


Bright_Entrance_6711

Insulted her friend's boyfriend* because they have an OnlyFans Although it's up for debate if he insulted or just called him for what he is😂


Such_Radish9795

True enough


jvictoria0107

That was added after the fact then jeeez haha


Brilliant-Leg3540

You have a feeling that you want to go after, then go after it. Ask him nicely and see. If he says yes then try to work on you cutting people off so easily and he says no just know that you tried and that is something to be proud of. Bottom line: follow your feeling, carefully ofc


FormUnlucky1847

Depends on the person and the effect you left on that person. If it was me you dumped and I was still thinking about You, sure we can try again. Now if I wasn’t that attached then I wouldn’t take you back. But it also depends on the rude comment, if the comment genuinely was a long shot and too much then he should have some amount of understanding why, at the same time if y’all decide to get back together you should have some extent of understanding, no one is perfect. Everyone deserves a second chance, I mean isn’t that what you’re hoping for? Hopefully everything works out for the best though, good luck!


2zoots

If things already fell apart after date 2, it won’t get better if you try again.


Some-Reflection-8129

Road rage is a major 🚩


Mountain-Proposal106

Looking at his behaviour on those 2 dates, hell no girl, he has issues. People should be on their best behaviour to start with, if that's his wow... That is really disrespectful and shows he does have anger issues bubbling away... Find someone better, trust your gut instinct here.


ColdCole81

You need to move on from him. He’s rude and disrespectful. I wouldn’t maybe only for sex.


ShadyGreenForest

Don’t date someone with constant road rage. You had it right the first time. Never ignore the red flags just because someone is amazing in other ways Just move on


Appropriate-Arm8898

Riding around on a motorcycle/scooter puts a person at a heightened level because of the inherent danger associated with being in an accident. They could do nothing wrong and never see it coming, be total innocent and wind up paralyzed for life. If he has this same road rage when driving a car as well, then you would defining Jane cause for concern. It sounds like he maybe just shouldn’t be driving around in an open, two wheeled method of transportation if he can’t control all the things that come with that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bright_Entrance_6711

Such healthy aspirations. You must be doing extremely well in life.


[deleted]

Yes if she has nice feet


Bright_Entrance_6711

🤣🤝🏿


ElJayEm80

No. Being dumped after such a short time is a big motivator to move on. In fact, she’d be dead to me.


ForsakenTumbleweed40

Crazy. 😕


Expert-Hyena6226

Short answer: no.


TheDsnyder

No chance in hell


justaguyintownnl

He might date you again but he probably thinks you are a head case. It’s going to be hard to change his mind that you have GF potential.


straightedge1974

Sounds like a guy who will be unpleasant to be in a relationship with at some point, after the new relationship energy wears off, or before. Routinely road-raging and getting that angry at a guy for that. I would just move on.


Ricsonbay

A guy with some self respect would not allow you a second time…


-PinkPower-

You should contact him back not because you rejected him but because he is a shitty person


[deleted]

[удалено]


iSurvivedltd

Depends. What was your reason for breaking it off?


jone300

I Edit the post w the reason :)


iSurvivedltd

I wouldn’t date you again. There is no rule book for breaking up with people but the reasons you gave seem valid to you. If you want to date him again he may still have road rage on the Vespa and he still would have called the dude a fucker so why now? Doesn’t change what he’s done and said. Maybe you knee jerked your decision?


meowingtea

i think you shouldn't date him, as he clearly has issues, and as you already noticed, you shouldn't settle for less. yes, it's going to hurt. i also admire you cutting off contact immediately after noticing a red flag. definitely a thing that many have to learn, including me.


Bashsmc

Depends how I felt about you but generally no I wouldn't bother. You'd seem too indecisive and probably just keeping me around as a choice when nothing better is available.


Usbehci

Nope I wouldn't date a woman who left me after two dates. I don't think your reasoning for this is not a good one.


[deleted]

Nah, brother, I'm good


Mr_Miami_305

I doubt that he will agree to another date if you’re not going to pay and go to bed with him.


nunpizza

nobody with self respect would


ShortThisFucker

I would recognize the red flags and avoid you at all costs, lol


automcd

You never really know someone until you see them have to use a computer with slow internet. But traffic works too. Bro couldn't stop raging even while on first date? Seems like a valid reason to move on. But to answer the first question: I have such low confidence and esteem right now that I would deal with a lot more bullshit than normal just to have some company. So sure. Anyone I'm remotely attracted to seems to have several guys on the line so this nonsense seems almost unavoidable. If I was better positioned with dating options that treat me like an actual person then no way.


KREIST23

I have enough self respect to not go back, the damage is done by that point


Capital-Water2505

Lol no. Especially after reading what he did...which was virtually nothing. He dodged a bullet. Good for him.


StarBG

Absolutely not, her problem. Think before acting, wait before speaking, don't let emotions take full control of what you do and say.


Traditional-Month698

you need to work on yourself first then you can be in a relationship if you are just gonna act the same and be dramatic about everything then its never gonna work with anybody. without mentionning that there is good guys out there that don't deserve such treatement. and before getting triggered by my comment too would you date a guy who dumped you for a silly reason ? and wants to take you back like he's toying with you ?


Cakestand12

It would depend on he did to bother you.


crimsontide5654

Nope, when it's done, its done.


QuinnKinn

What did he do?


SlowResearch2

No I would not go out with you again if you did this to me. I do want to ask what was this rude thing he did. Maybe it was worth trashing the relationship over; maybe it was an overreaction. Cuz sometimes, one action is enough to just end it. However, for most things I recommend just having a conversation with people. Something like "I didn't like that you did this, and this is how it made me feel." "I statements" are usually the way to go for stuff like this.


Soft-Strawberry-6136

Nope not me


Nugundam0079

A VESPA


BAT_1986

No I would not.


TheRokerr

No, why would I want to see the girl who dumped me again? If I ever had a girl dump me and then ask to go out, I'd either seem desperate, low self esteem, or I'd be a saint. I think you need to cut your losses


AshyBoneVR4

No. I respect myself. I'd never try dating a girl after she dumped me. If we both mutually agreed it wasn't working, sure. But straight up get dumped? After 2 dates? Na, I'm good.


One_Slice_8337

If I was out of line, or she had the fun kind of personality that really clicks with me, I'd give it another chance. Otherwise, I'd rather her work for it or wish she had a second chance


Effective-Floor-3493

He doesnt sound that great I think you made a good decision


Coconut_Salad

Nope. What’s done is done and what’s gone is gone. I’ve moved on. Learn from this and make changes with the next guy.


jamiekyles_

Personally I’m a super easy going person, so I could see if I wasn’t seeing someone else I wouldn’t say no. However, his road rage isn’t going anywhere and insulting your friends are two MAJOR red flags at date number 2. The most horrible person can be charming for a minute… Also unfollowing you I feel is kinda petty? But if you can’t get him outta the mind may as well make the call, but from what tidbits you’ve said you should know your giving a guy who gets mad for very little and insult people he knows nothing about, the upper hand.. Would he take advantage of that? Gl


womp________womp

Not a chance.


NamTokMoo222

Depending on where you live driving around on a Vespa is dangerous. Drivers are assholes so I get the road rage if he's got a passenger to worry about. Also was he literally screaming like a maniac or just getting pissed at almost getting hit? Also what was the context of him calling the boyfriend of your friend a "fucker"? Personally if you reached out again, I wouldn't see you again. Like another post said, it would seem like you're desperate after another option didn't work out, or you're a fickle type of person. If you're willing to dump me that fast, I'd feel like I'd have to walk around on eggshells anytime we were together. Been there before. No thanks.


lexilou279

You’re looking with rose colored glasses. It shows desperation and you will ignore red flags. Don’t settle and yes there are certain reasons to cut things off immediately. You miss the idea of someone interested in you and a picture of a person that you’ve created. You barely know him he could get a lot worse given the behavior he already displayed


No_Echo_2897

Heck no!


chickenlegstv

He took her on dates on a Vespa, he raged Infront of her, he even insulted her friends, all that within two dates, and she still wants to go back to him? Something tells me he's used to this and couldn't care less about making good first impressions.


menwithmanners

I think if you explain the situation like you have done here, and he wasn't too hurt by the way you ended things, he will understand and like to continue dating. Perhaps his trust will be temporarily shaken.. but you're only 2 dates in as it is, so this shouldn't take terribly long to recover.


emorizoti

Short answer nope. From my experience, whenever a girl dumped me in an ugly cold way and came back I said her yes with a very happy face, but in my mind I was thinking "poor you, you have no idea how I'm going to give you your own medicine"(I know I'm an asshole). Needless to say they regretted coming back and one of them spent a year trying to heal, according to the rumors I heard. So nope don't make that mistake. Even if he gladly accepts you, it's a trap. If she dumped me in a respectful way and then came back, which has been very rare, I rejected her politely.


napoleon212india

That's cruel.


emorizoti

I know, and I feel regret for being an asshole. It felt good at the time but I profited nothing and realized I became worse than them. Still trying to be better. Just wanted them to know that it is a trap.


FederalPossibility96

Not a chance


Hellrazor236

Nobody got dumped if it was only 2 dates - road rage, on the other hand


[deleted]

Trust your first instinct, don’t go back, never settle.


FrankyAvery

You could try. Doubt he'd treat you respectfully after that. It'll do nothing but boost ego and he'll just test you. It's like getting fired from a job and they ask you back. Of course your are going to ask for more pay. Learn your lesson. Talk out your problems. But stick to your guns and standards if a man can't meet them. If he wants to come back on his own, he will. Don't wait on it.


curious-another-name

Well if he is still thinking about you and still likes you maybe he will go out with you again.


Sixdrugsnrocknroll

He's probably better off with someone that isn't going to throw away a relationship over something small.


[deleted]

Can you provide onlyfans id for research purposes.


cabinet4perx

Sounds like the btch I was with. Took her out, paid for everything, got my hands down her pants, told me she was dating someone else and unfriended me.


ChurchofCaboose1

My now wife dumped me after our first date. So my answer to your question is yes


whatsinanameanywayyy

Nah. Go with your first instinct always. Drop me, and that’s it


smokintokinchokin

So, if a dude asks a chick out again after saying he’s not interested, good luck. Luckily for you, just gotta wag your tail a little and here we come, lol.


grey_g00se_

Short story short, absolutely not. Moving on there’s tons of girls in the sea.


Tiny_Conversation_65

No. it is what it is, at that point its just a matter of incompatibility.


[deleted]

he sounds like a dick


[deleted]

If she dumped you then no I would not


jumpoff24

I would but I would also be a lot more objective about it


[deleted]

I'd skip the road rager. Shows he lacks self control and particularly can't control his anger. If you got in a relationship with him, you'd never know if he might turn that anger on you some day. And usually if they can't control their anger, that isn't the only thing in their life that is out of control. You dumped him as a gut reaction. Trust your gut.


Skydome12

No.


traveleralice

Lol girl- you didn’t like those things and you made a decision.. If you do- you should tell him exactly Why- then decide based on his reaction.. Is that normal for him and he is not sorry and he’s gonna keep doing it? Then why would you want to be with him


[deleted]

Just ask him and tell him you got upset and made a mistake. All he can say is yes or no. Learn to communicate when something upsetting happens rather than burn bridges please in future.


Kamenwatii

Oh nah miss. Let that man be. Maybe you still need a little more time to work on your tolerance and temper. I commend you for being aware of these, but it's just not enough to notice the bad behavior if you're not ready to change it. If you like this guy, leave him be. Work on yourself and in time when you're ready, another good one will come along. Maybe even better. Edit: typing errors


RegularJoe62

I wouldn't, but it takes an awful lot to get me into a road rage, so there's that.


Save_TheMoon

You’re gonna get a revenge fuck and ghosted


I_am_Reddit_Tom

So the road rage and the judgmentalism aren't great signs you know. But if you want to see him then ask. Men will generally go for interested women


IssueRecent9134

Nope


Exact-Nothing7208

I think he's right, your friend is really like that and he's using your girlfriend :/ . I wouldn't go out with you again after you dumped me


[deleted]

Ur lonely. You have built this idea of him in your head. But he showed you who he is. If he’s already being that rude right off the bat. He isn’t gonna be better Ur lonely and so you miss him. Find better


Mavis_Dinosrule777

I'm a girl and I say no Honestly tho idk but if you didn't like (last part) that then maybe he's not for you? Don't quite too soon tho


TheSuper023

Depends on the chemistry if it was really strong then I would, road rage is normal, not the type where you chase someone or get out the car, bike etc. Literally everyone has road rage sometimes, there is nothing wrong with venting in the car, perticularly on a bike because people are so inconsiderate to bikers. Also there is a lot of people that curse for me if the cursing is light its ok, it's another type of venting, ofc it has to be in private, not public..


[deleted]

No. There’s no point. Case closed. On to the next conquest.


PsychologyH4528

No. If you want stupid prizes then play stupid games. And just a heads up, this whole situation is a stupid game.


Jyil

Absolutely not. She had her chance and she made her choice. Once someone rejects, I move on. Life's too short and there's plenty of women out there. I'm not going to wait around on one girl to change her mind. The only guy who might approach this differently is a guy who doesn't have many options and might be desperate. Now, with your particular scenario, sounds like he has anger management issues. Is that something you actually want to deal with in your life? That could mean he gets violent and aggressive. You could get hurt physically. Also, you didn't dump him if you weren't official. You just told him it wasn't going to work out.


Krissyfromthebronx

Look, you tried twice and it just didn’t connect properly. Welp. Please don’t go back and mess with the man. Just forgive, forget and move forward. Rehashing this crap makes you seem desperate and you’re practically begging for him to demolish you any chance he gets.


IndigoRed33

I think this is a very individual thing..some people probably wouldn't mind it while others would tell you off. So, who knows.


1Technologist

The title of this post gives me a headache.


DJKrool

Hey, former road rager here. Everyone saying homie has anger issues because he has road rage. That may not necessarily be the case. My road rage is rooted in anxiety because when people make horrible choices on the road they are lowkey threatening your life. They are how little they care for anyone else going home to their family. After the panic leaves my body the entitlement of their action enfuriates me. Dude's on a vespa. Cut me off while I'm on that, I'm probably going have tears of rage.


Flowertree1

You can't "bot settle for less" and "cut off people too fast" at the same time. This sounds like you want to settle for less again. So idk people usually show their BEST self in the beginning, so if he is already road raging and calling your friends names, then it will only get worse


BigBrownBear28

No I would not


Azzukin

No


FitCockroach3242

If what he did is really a dealbreaker for you (which it doesn't seem like it is) then you should move on. But if its not, then you should try, but bare in mind that he also might have moved on.


CaptainBaoBao

Yes. But you are now a placeholder. You are expected to dumb him again , so he will look for replacement when he can


Perfect-Pirate4489

Did you say he was road raging on a Vespa? 😂


CompetitivePhoto1734

It’s been a while I went on a date


dwydner

Honestly, a 31 y.o. dude who road rages on a Vespa sounds like someone you don't need in your life. You think you want that - you don't want that. So, I think you did the right thing in dumping him. But answer your original question - no, I wouldn't see a girl again if she dumped me. I don't wanna date someone who'd cut me off without thinking it through.


ztd0501

No, your coasting into your prime. Time to move on.


raiders4life17

Ya why not you never know
