And other social media users were left furious at her attitude and didn’t hold back in the comments as they insisted her date ‘dodged a bullet’.

In the controversial clip, which has so far been viewed more than 2.8 million times, the unnamed woman can be seen sitting in the passenger seat of a car.
Dressed in a dark neon green dress, she stares directly at the camera from behind a pair of statement shades.
Her date can be heard in the background saying he’ll walk around to open her door, but as soon as he gets out of the car, she expresses her dismay.
The woman says, ‘He got me at The Cheesecake Factory.’
She closes the door, shakes her head and waves her finger disapprovingly as her date appears outside her door.
He knocks and she finally winds down the window before saying in disgust: ‘This is The Cheesecake Factory. It is a chain restaurant.
“Who takes someone who looks like that to a chain restaurant.”
The man is understandably confused, but says he is happy to talk things through despite filming their exchange.
Her date revealed that he had made a reservation elsewhere, but that an unforeseen delay meant they missed it — so The Cheesecake Factory was the backup option (stock photo)
She was left stunned when her date insisted on calling it a night before muttering: ‘I understand you gotta do what you gotta do’
She orders him to get back in the car before asking, ‘So, you expect a man to go out on the first date, is that right?’
To which she responds with a sense of condescension: ‘You’re supposed to. When you take out a beautiful woman and you court her – because I’m courted – you’re supposed to take care of her, you’re supposed to cover her, you’re supposed to protect her, cherish her, treat her well, right?’
He agrees, adding: ‘I went into the date with expectations for myself – to keep you safe, to respect you, to pay for your food, to pick you up – and just treat you like a gentleman. treat (should). Which I believe I did.
‘I, on the other hand, have certain expectations for a girl I go on a first date with. I expect her to be respectful too, I expect her to cooperate.’
The woman repeatedly fixes her hair, making it clear that she is not convinced.
She replied: ‘I feel like I’m doing everything I’m supposed to do as a woman. I made myself all up…’
Before she can finish her sentence, her date says, ‘But there’s nothing wrong with The Cheesecake Factory.’
He then revealed that he had agreed to pick her up at 4:00 p.m., but that she didn’t come down from her apartment for another hour without being invited to wait.
She justifies that she doesn’t know him well enough yet, to which he bites back: ‘So I say, I think, well, if we’re not there in the relationship to meet at your apartment, then maybe we’re “not ready in the ratio for such a nice, fancy restaurant – especially when I’m paying for the whole thing.”
He reveals that he had made a reservation elsewhere but that the unforeseen delay meant they missed it – so The Cheesecake Factory was the backup option.
However, the woman is undeterred as she asks: ‘Isn’t there another restaurant you can name that is equal to it? You don’t understand – look at me. I can’t go into The Cheesecake Factory. i will die It’s embarrassing.’
The discussion continued in the comments as other social media users labeled her a prima donna and praised the man for his actions
Her exasperated date appears: ‘Maybe we’re not right for each other, so respectfully I’m just going to drop you off at home.’
But the woman is less than impressed.
She began: ‘Oh no, he didn’t. So you just want to call it a night? Isn’t there some kind of compromise or something? Ladies, can you believe it?’
The dueling duo continue to bicker before the woman insists: ‘I understand I’m late, I understand. I understand that I could have been a little more cooperative.
“You made some good points. That’s why I’m willing to compromise. Are you sure you want to go home?’
She’s left stunned when her date insists on calling it a night before muttering: ‘I understand you gotta do what you gotta do. I understand where you’re coming from.’
An uncomfortable silence fills the car before the clip comes to an end.
But the discussion continued in the comments as other social media users labeled her a prima donna and praised the man for his actions.
One wrote: ‘I like the Cheesecake Factory… Bye girl… He dodged a bullet… Perfectly played.’
Another added: ‘He’s right to do it. He communicated properly, was respectful and knows his worth. I also love the Cheesecake Factory.’
And a third simply said, ‘If audacity were a person.’
The video was later shared on Reddit on a sub-thread titled ‘I’m The Main Character’ where the poster wrote: ‘I’m amazed. Poor guy.’
