I'll never forget the night I went on a date that was supposed to be a fun evening out but turned into a disaster. Initially, my date seemed pleasant enough, but as time went on, his arrogance and self-absorption became glaringly apparent. Before long, I felt like I was trapped in a never-ending monologue about his accomplishments.

As the night wore on, things only got worse. He ordered for me without asking, and proceeded to lecture me on everything from wine to politics. I was taken aback by his condescending attitude and lack of interest in getting to know me.

Eventually, I'd had enough. I made a quick exit, thanks to a well-timed text from my best friend. Looking back, I realize that some people are just not worth your time. This experience taught me to trust my instincts and prioritize my own needs.
