Found a note on his phone ranking every girl he's dated. I'm a 7.5
Hanoi. I'm 25F, been seeing him for 5 weeks. We were at a café by Trúc Bạch lake, he passed me his phone to show me a photo of his cat and I swiped wrong and landed in his Notes app. A note called "2026". It's a list of girls. Nicknames, where they met, and a score. Some have comments. One says "cute but eats too slowly". I'm on there: "Linh (Bumble) 7.5, funny, too much skincare talk".
I asked him about it and he said it was "a joke with his friends" from before we started dating and he forgot to delete it. But I'm on it, and we've only known each other 5 weeks. So it's not from before.
Then he said I should be happy because 7.5 is the second highest score.
My roommate says end it now. Part of me wants to ask what I'd need to do to get to a 9 just to see his face. Am I overreacting, it's just a notes app

he lied about it being old in the same conversation. that's a bigger flag than the list

"you should be happy, you're second" is the sentence that ends it

eats too slowly is such an unhinged thing to rate someone on

Vietnamese guy here, I'm sorry on behalf of us. "a joke with friends" means they all compare lists. imagine that group chat

"too much skincare talk" is a crazy thing to write about someone in Hanoi of all places, everyone here talks skincare

OP here. I asked. "Trang (gym) 8". I have never been to a gym in my life

Turkish here, if my friend found this the entire friend group would know by dinner and he'd be blocked by all of us
