Am I wrong for leaving my tinder date at Starbucks?

I posted on a different sub yesterday, but I left out an important detail and I’m trimming it down

Long story, short 55m matched with 58f. We agreed to go to Starbucks for our first date.

She doesn’t drive, but gave me the choice of meeting at the café, which was close to her house) or picking her up. I chose to pick her up.

After we sat down, it quickly became apparent that we were incompatible, because she only dates Catholics and I’m not religious. I was kind of irritated and told her she could’ve had that in her dating profile. She didn’t really acknowledge it.

So I asked if I should take her home, she said yes. So he got up, grabbed our drinks and started walking toward the door. As we were stepping outside, she said “hold on, “and turn back and went inside. I was like WTF and kept going to my car.

I thought about leaving, but decided to go back and check on her. She was talking to one of the employees and it sounded like she might’ve been asking about a job, because I heard her giving out, what sounded like her phone number.

I was like EFF that!! I got in my car and drove off. Probably two minutes, max, elapsed from the time when she went back into the store and when I drove off.

AITA for leaving my tinder and date at Starbucks?

I thought WTF. I wait a moment that I go back inside to see what she’s doing and she’s talking to one of the employees. Maybe applying for a job (she was unemployed).

I thought to myself “EFF that! I’m not her chauffeur!” and I drove off.

So, AITA for leaving my date Starbucks?

AITA 4 leaving Tinder date at Starbucks

55m matched with 58f matched on Tinder. Exchanged a few messages. They were dry, but I attributed this to the fact that she grew up in another country. I hoped maybe things would improve in person.

I called her on my way home from work yesterday and we agreed to go to the Starbucks near her house. She offered to meet me there, but I said I would pick her up.

We made small talk on the way there and it was only a few minutes from her house. We get our drinks and sit down. Within a couple of minutes, religion somehow comes up. I can’t remember how it came up. But, it turns out that she is catholic , which is no surprise, considering where she’s from. I told her I was atheist.

She said it wouldn’t work because she had a friend who was Catholic and dated a Jewish guy and they had problems. It turns out that she (my date) only dates Catholic guys. And I guess she prefers Latino Guys. I am clearly not Latino. None of this was in her profile.

I asked if that meant that she was no longer interested, and she replied in the affirmative. So, I asked if she wanted me to take her home and she agreed. As we are walking out the door, she says “hold on.“, I’m already irritated at wasting my time over something that could’ve easily been mentioned in her profile. I hesitate for a moment then I start to walk to my car.

I turned back to see what she’s doing and she’s talking to one of employees. It sounds like she’s giving the employee her phone number, as in maybe looking for a job (she had said that she was unemployed).

I thought to myself, EFF that! The date is over and I have no more obligation to her. I am not her personal driver.

I got in my car and left. Not that I waited around, but she didn’t even walk out of the Starbucks in the time it took for me to back up and maneuver into driving out of the parking lot. I unmatched, blocked her and that was it.

So, AITAH for not waiting for her to finish whatever she was doing in the Starbucks?
