Met a girl on Hinge. Texted 20-25 turns each back and forth. Tons of joking and her laughing. Today, the conversation:
Me: "We are going to meet in X city on Wednesday at 6:30(We live 20 minutes apart, and this is the middle city)
Her:"Yes. I'm very excited to meet you. What place?"
Me: (I always joke about taking her to some poverty place to see how they react)"We are going to meet at Mcdonalds. I will upgrade it to Wendy's if you look the same as your pics"
Her: "I have never had fast food. Do Better"

Would you cancel a 1st date if a girl says this?

op here are your red flags:
1. 25 texts is wayyyy too much before meeting up, only use texting to setup new dates
2. like posters above, drinks is the de facto date. Dinner = awkward if it lasts 1 hr and you wanted to leave within the first 10 min
3. you tried to be alpha, doesn’t work with most women since they have a buffett of dudes they can go out with instead. Instead of trying to act alpha, act nice but not needy/desperate, just act chill like you want to meet this girl but match her interest level or lower, never higherPositive vibes crew

Why are you attacking op lol. It was clearly a joke.
To answer. Try to avoid joking through texts cos it's hard to tell is the person joking or just weird. I wouldn't sweat it. Mb she just didn't get the joke or mb your senses of humor doesn't match. Anyway you have about a few hours to lose on a date.

disagree for two reasons:
1) you should have better use of your time then trying to talk to a chick you never met up with before
2) I have friends who text a lot and they get flaked on often because the girls lose attraction after too much convo before the date, meanwhile i’ve only been flaked on once since starting online dating in julyPositive vibes crew

McDonald's sucks ass, but Wendy's is amazing. While you're joking, if she doesn't like Wendy's, that's a dealbreaker for me (not srs but semi-srs). I hate McDonald's, Taco Bell, Jack in the Crack, etc. etc. but damn I love Wendy's, Dominos, Red Lobster, and Chili's.

Well it's a stupid joke since she doesn't know you and you don't know her either so who knows what her response actually means, maybe she is joking too? Save being a clown via text for when you've actually built some chemistry.

she comes off as an uptight bish in the text.... but that is just it its a text and really isnt a good form of communication for people that dont know each other.
I had this happen before actually, some bish threw me a curve ball saying she dont eat at this place I picked and I was thinking the same thing Im about to ghost this sloot over it but I met her and she was cool, it just came off bad in text.

yeah on second thought "do better" is really hard to justify being able to read it as anything other than her being a bish. but in general what i said above still applies. I got hit with a text said something blunt and brief like "i dont eat that" or "i dont eat there", I was thinking wtf. But "do better" is hard to misinterpret, she seems like a mega bish. Up to OP if he want to pursue or not but I would have my expectations very low

Calling is usually a good thing.
1st date dinner dates and texting all day every day can work out in some cases, people just view it as a waste of time/money when they're a bit older. As you get into your mid/late 20s and thus have more adult chit going on, people often lose respect/interest in over-texters because they assume you have nothing better to do than text all day and thus will be needy/clingy for attention.
Excessive texting is more common when you're young and potentially less harmful because people haven't settled into love-bombing cycles that never workout and you just chase the high of "falling for someone."
Over-texting can also lead to arguing via text/misinterpreting tone/etc which is toxic AF. Way more likely to screw something up by over-texting than make progress you wouldn't have otherwise.
OP - let us know what the outcome is Wednesday.
