Couldn't agree more with the need to put in effort necessary to look nice for *any* date - especially the first! And your decision to ghost based on her lack of effort alone it legit. Buuuut... on the "hit the head" point, we could not be further apart. How, in your estimation, is "Hit the head" vulgar? It neither refers to hitting anything, nor to any part of one's anatomy. "Head" is the name of the "bathroom" on any nautical vessel. As a boat (yacht) owner, I say "hitting the head" commonly - even on dry land. For folks on the coast or at the marina, the phrase is as common as "hitting the road." I find taking a piss or taking a leak slightly vulgar, but fine in a casual/familiar setting. So the next time you're on a boat... or hanging with a captain and her crew, please try not to take offense. "-D
Thanks for the feedback! I hope I haven't told that story in front of any boat owners over the years. Upon further reflection, if this same situation were to happen now (and I hope to God I have gone on my last first date), I would probably be fine with the "hitting the head" reference (I've matured!). It was more that the whole date itself had gone so poorly that I was just over it by that point. At the time, my inner Larry David voice was very loud.

This is Curb in real life! Never Settle!
I bet Irma Kostroski would have said "hit the head."
especially trying to get rid of that bubble
