is this offensive?

[phasegirl]

I was making small talk with someone at the cafeteria, and the person asked me what I was doing this weekend, which I answered. But when I asked her the same question, she said that she wasn't doing anything because it was going to rain this weekend. Then I added, "Oh so you're not even going to go on a hot date??"

 

She looked like she was embarrassed and just smiled and quickly ended the conversation and walked away. I wondered what was so negative about the "hot date" question?? I was really only kidding, and it's a line I use on everyone to make them laugh...

 

would anyone here feel offended by that?

Maybe she thought you meant "with you" ?

Was this a stranger, or someone you know?

maybe she's sensitive about being single? i know some women who are sensitive about being in their 30s and unmarried..... or 20s and unmarried/unattached....

yeah maybe she just had a break up and this is the first weekend she is going to be spending alone and that question just reminded her how lonely and pathetic her life is going to be and now because of you she is going to go home this weekend and sit in her gloomy apartment, depressed, lonely and sad... on the brink of suicide.

 

lol

 

seriously, i think you are reading too much into it.. shrug your shoulders and move on.

I wouldn't be offended by it, but I would wonder where it came from. That seems like a weird line unless it's referring back to something.

I wouldn't be offended by it. I don't think it's a weird thing to say to someone, either. I can see myself saying something like that to someone. It's just a jokey thing to say. idk.
