A post by a female X (formerly Twitter) user has stirred online reactions after she shared an exchange with someone she was in a talking stage with. She claimed to have "jokingly" asked if they should cancel their planned meeting and was surprised when he agreed.
Her disappointment over his response led her to post about it online, but instead of support, she was met with criticism and mockery.

Many users argued that people often use jokes to mask their true feelings, then get upset when those jokes are taken seriously. Commenters accused her of being unable to take what she dished out, pointing out that she made a subtle test and was upset when it didn’t go her way.
The incident has sparked wider conversations about how some use humor or sarcasm to express hidden intent, especially in early relationship stages.
