I went on a ‘casual’ date – the guy told me to ‘go home and change’ & it’s split opinion, people say it’s ’embarrassing’
A FIRST date is not a wedding, so most invites don’t come with a guide that tells you what to wear.
When one woman met up for a date, a dress code would’ve been handy – the man she was seeing disapproved of her outfit and sent her home.

London-based Mawuena (@mawuenaslife) recounted the mortifying ordeal in excruciating detail.
On her TikTok, she posted a video and asked her viewers if they thought she reacted correctly in the moment.
“He sent me home, guys,” the woman said as an introduction. “He looked at my outfit and was like, ‘Go home and change.’”
The moment he said it, Mawuena admitted, “I wanted the ground to swallow me up.”
Then, she explained the circumstances that lead to the series of unfortunate events.
She’d run into a fascinating stranger while out one day, and he showed an interest in her, too.
“This guy invited me to lunch, and I was like, ‘Why not?’” she recalled.
Mawuena was coming from getting her eyebrows done, so she planned to run home, change quickly, then head out to lunch.
“When he came to pick me up, we were supposed to go straight to the restaurant,” she said.
But they took a detour back to the man’s apartment. He wanted to take his other car because it looked “better with his outfit.”
That’s when Mawuena began to suspect he had some level of sartorial snobbery. Then, he confirmed it.
“He literally did not say anything at first. He must’ve been thinking, ‘This girl is going to embarrass me,’” she said.
While the man grabbed his other car, he said Mawuena should go ahead and change.
Before showing the outfit, Mawuena begged her viewers not to judge her. “That’s the deal, okay?” she said.
She had originally put on cargo pants and a tank top, calling them a “safe go-to” for a “casual” first date.
As she was getting ready for the date do-over, Mawuena called a male friend.
“He also wasn’t in agreement on what I wore,” and even told her she should be “embarrassed.”
So, Mawuena put on a dress and headed back out. “Then we had a great lunch,” she said.
“It was just an embarrassing day,” she sighed.
Her viewers weren’t sure what to think of the outfit, and couldn’t agree on whether it was appropriate for an impromptu date.
“It’s cute, but a bit too casual for a first date,” one said.
“I thought it was going to be atrocious,” wrote a fan with low expectations. “It’s actually cute.”
“It’s not bad enough for him to make you change,” a third argued. “The outfit is cute, who does he think he is?”
As it turns out, the potential beau wasn’t Mawuena’s dream man.
He let slip a piece of information that made Mawuena decide their first date would also be their last.
“He’s married,” she revealed, confirming she wouldn’t be seeing the dud again. “He has a wife and child.”
