A Guy Choked Her On Their Second Date, Then Slapped Her Across The Face On Their Third

She Went On A Sushi Date With A Guy Who Confessed That He's Into Money Laundering And Working With The Cartel

If you went on a few dates with someone who put their hands on you, would you be scared to ever see them again, or would you think you were missing something?

This 23-year-old girl recently went out on three dates with a 30-year-old man, and although the first one was uneventful, on the second one, he did something alarming.

As they kissed goodbye, this man wrapped his hand around her neck pretty tightly. She found it bizarre, and it definitely made her uneasy, but she was afraid of saying something for fear of destroying the moment.

So, instead, she opted to remain silent. She was hesitant about going out on another date with him, but he behaved in such a way that made her feel at ease following the jarring kiss.

On their third date, this man was so kind and attentive that she felt good about giving him another chance.

"We were kissing a lot more this time to say goodnight, but he suddenly pulled away in the middle of it and slapped me. I was so startled by this I couldn’t really speak," she explained.

"He could tell and seemed almost smug about the fact that he did it anyway. Like the version of him I’d been talking to all night was just gone."

"It kind of broke my heart because I genuinely liked him, and I can’t understand why he’d do that to me. I just pulled away, confused and hurt, and he said he’d call me tomorrow or something I couldn’t really hear. I don’t want to ever see him again."

She keeps her walls up when it comes to her dating life, and this man is the first guy she's gone out with in a number of years.

She's wondering if she really just lacks experience or if him choking and slapping her is abnormal. She just doesn't know what to think of all of this.

This guy is one enormous red flag, and what he did was absolutely unhinged. He comes off as abusive for sure, and if I were her, I would block him immediately.

What advice do you have for her?
