I actually double-checked a couple sites on how to properly eat pho... yup, you're definitely supposed to eat the broth with the noodles. Guess what she meant was she doesn't eat the broth but maybe that's
the same thing in her eyes.
To her credit, she did offer some helpful advice along the way, especially about my messy apartment, and did drive me to the place and back so there's that... it was just buried under layers of snarkiness and hostility.
The whole broth thing is a skill, they have to get the whole dish perfectly right and everything exactly in proportion, including precise timings of the ingredient cooking times.
I think she sounds like a plonker.
Reminds me, my ex took me to a Tonkotsu place and wow, the tonkotsu tasted amazing. I only didn't eat all of the broth because I was full (Or was it the noodles? One of us had eaten all the noodles, it was probably him), not that it wasn't tasty enough. The duck egg tasted gorgeous. That was before I knew I had an egg allergy.

Yup, she's guano crazy. I can only imagine that when she gets older and begins to feel less passionate about her job that she'll start acting this way to her clients. Obviously, don't sweat having a messy apartment. Most people have their homes messy until they know they're having company over. Just tidy up a bit before going out next time, even if you don't expect the date to end at your appointment.
Now, focus on your positives. You still managed to have her want to go back to your place. Think about what you did correctly on the date and hone those strengths for the next one. Although, because she's nuts, those strengths might not work on the next girl
P.S. I'm loving your idea of having your living room be you bedroom.

Thanks, I actually chose the living room because the previous tenant's mattress was already there and neither of the bedrooms appealed to me. I also like having as much as possible within one space. What can I say, I'm low maintenance.
As for how I convinced her to come back to my place, idk, I guess I was a bit more persistent than usual perhaps and didn't completely lose my confidence?
Though according to her, it was because I didn't make a very good impression on her during dinner and she wasn't feeling any attraction to me but wanted to give me a second chance to see if I'd "impress" her later. As she put it, if she had been really into me in the first place, she might've been able to look past the apartment. Whatever lol.

So sorry for what you experienced with this woman. Even I'm developing a nervous twitch at the thought of her behaviour...! Run, just run and don't look back... You deserve so much better!

I've never had pho tbh but it looks really good (and sounds complex from what I've read). I have a rather strict diet that limits a lot of food I can have but I'm pretty sure if I could, I'd eat just about anything and everything lol.
