Twitter Aghast As Viral Text Exchange Shows Woman Rejecting Man After He Proposes An Ice Cream Date

The latest chapter in what is seemingly becoming a recurring trend of people rejecting their date partners for absurd reasons hit Twitter yesterday evening when the user @SPBPHD shared a screenshot of a text exchange in which a woman rejects a potential date after he proposes they go get ice cream.

The screenshot shows "Vance" apparently moving a conversation from a dating app to a phone and proposing that he and his unnamed date get ice cream on account of the hot weather.

The date swiftly rejects the proposal, claiming she's a "26-year-old woman" who doesn't "do" ice cream dates because they feel like the "bare minimum." She then added further communication would be a waste of "both their time" and signs off "best wishes."

The tweet appeared to gobsmack @SPBPHD, who wrote, "um, wow…im twice the age of this 26 year old woman and I would love a dude to invite me on an ice cream date." Many commenters agreed, opining that an ice cream date is a perfectly reasonable first date because, even if you and your partner don't click, you still get ice cream.

The story is yet another example of a woman going viral for breaking off a date for perceivably wild reasons, following a woman who ditched her date because he refused to pay for cheese on his burger and another who refused to pay any portion of the canceled-reservation fee for the date she slept through.
