Today, my date escaped through a second-storey bathroom window before our drinks even arrived. She later texted me that it wasn’t my fault, I just reminded her too much of her father, even though I’m two years younger than her and look nothing like the photos I've seen of him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend and I went on a date. I went to the bathroom. When I came back, she was sitting at a different table flirting with a guy that looked twice as old as her. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy who turned out to be my older brother's friend. In the middle of the night we were drunk and got stuck in my room after the key broke inside the lock. My brother had to help my date climb out of the window. FML
Today, I went on a date. After we finished our meal, I had to use the bathroom really bad. When I said so, my date totally lost it and accused me of planning on climbing out a window and ditching her. "Fuck that and fuck you!" she said, then stormed out, leaving me with the bill. FML
Today, I went on a blind date set up by a friend. Everything was going great until I accidentally called my date by my ex’s name. Twice. My date promptly excused herself to the restroom and never came back. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. When I arrived, the guy looked nothing like his profile picture. We started chatting, and things were going fine until he asked, “So, what do you think about my date?” I replied, “Uh, I think it’s going well!” He responded, “I was talking about the waitress. I’m married.” FML
Today, while on a first date, I had to excuse myself to the restroom. I was still tired from pulling an all-nighter, and fell asleep on the toilet. When I woke up and rushed back out, my date was gone. Everyone now thinks I'm an arsehole who pulled the old "window escape" trick on her. FML
Today, I met my online date at a café. As soon as I walked in, I walked straight up to the wrong person, and launched into a 2-minute ramble about how excited I was to finally meet him. He just blinked and said, “I’m married.” My actual date was sitting right behind me, albeit a similar but not as good looking man. FML
Today, I was on a first date and tried to playfully flick a fry at him. It missed, hit a waiter in the face, and he dropped an entire tray of drinks onto an elderly couple. My date laughed, then excused himself to the bathroom… and never came back. FML
Today, I was supposed to be going on my first date with a guy I really liked. He never showed up. I just found out my dad was outside washing the car when my date showed up. He told him he didn't have a daughter and to never show up on his driveway again. FML
Today, when my date realised I have a daughter, her actual response was, "Ew." She then got up from our table and went and sat at the bar. By the time I paid my half (and only my half) of the bill, she was already glommed onto another guy at the bar with her hand on his thigh. FML

There are lots of other ways you could have reminded her of her dad. Sometimes girls like guys who remind them of their dads. You should call her dad and chew him out for being a jerk to her and ****-blocking you!

You can read, yes? Because your comment and the last line contradict themselves perfectly.

It’s all your fault - why did you have to look like her father? 😂😂😂

As messy and uncomfortable as this situation is, You are better off not to be further involved with her. The relevant expression is “Don’t stick your dick in crazy.” Everyone has the right to call off a date for any reason they want - Dating is voluntary. But the way she did so implies that either your date has some significant unresolved issues or she felt extremely uncomfortable with just saying she wanted or needed to go. Assuming you are telling the whole story, I assume it’s probably a messy combination of both. By the way, that is a maneuver right out of the book “The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Dating & Sex” that was once popular. It’s a funny book until you find yourself in one of those situations…

It is not always about looks. Your personality may have been similar to her father. My ex is Indian and my dad is white so they did not look anything alike, but he had a very similar personality and interests as my father.

Maybe you had manners, speech, or whatever reminded her of her dad. Or whatever that made it a 'no' for her (and that's OK). But the manner of her departure makes it look like you are better off without her in your life.
