Got ghosted after a date where I monologued about pickles for 20 minutes

I was at a wine bar in Portland last month and somehow started explaining the difference between kosher dills and bread and butter pickles to my date. She nodded along but then unmatched me on the app before I even got home. Was the pickle thing really that bad or did I miss something else?

Ngl that's brutal but also kind of hilarious in a sad way. Honestly I've done similar stuff where I just go off about something random and forget the other person is even there. Tbh the pickle thing might not have been the main problem, maybe she just wasn't feeling the vibe overall and that was the last straw. But like, I get it, you were probably nervous and wanted to talk about something you actually care about. Sympathy from me, dude. Better luck next time with someone who appreciates your pickle knowledge or at least pretends to.

Actually kosher dills vs bread and butter is a pretty solid conversation topic if you lean into the brine chemistry part. But a 20 minute monologue might have felt more like a lecture than a date.
