You don’t seem to understand that the girl’s time is itself valuable. It’s frustrating to take time from your busy schedule of school/work/social engagements to spend time with someone and then have a miserable time because he’s not smart, not attractive, not self aware, or whatever. Or what if he’s not just not for her but actively rude or condescending or mean.
I can just as legitimatly ask you, how can a boy have a bad date? He picks the venue, he can go wherever he likes, order whatever he likes etc
