I went out on a date last night. I have Known her for a while but did not have her number until last week, friend of friend. We exchanged a couple of generic texts since last week, late yesterday I asked her if she wanted to grab dinner last night. She said she wasn't busy and her son was with her Ex so the timing was perfect. I picked her up about 45 minutes later and we headed out to a restaurant by her place.
I'm not sure how far we went into out initial conversation before I realized that she seemed to want to start an arguement on every topic that came up. It went like this: Me "I saw Silver Lining Playbook last year and liked it" Her "That has to be the most over rated movie Ive seen in years". Me "the blue water in the pond in front of the restaurant looked fantastic: Her "I think it smelled bad and it was green". Every attempt I made at starting a topic was met with an opposing view, even on the most mundane topic. It was all so awkward! Fortunatley, dinner was served quickly and we finshed just as quickly. I dropped her off back at her place, gave her a superficial hug and was back to my place in no time. whole thing lasted maybe an hour and fifteen minutes. Thank goodness it was over quickly!
I have been on more than my fair share of so so dates in the last year but not one where the other person was apparently trying to sabotage what should have been a nice evening.
Either:
Bad Mood
PMS (extreme)
or just a nasty person in general.
Bottom line, if this is her first date, then you probably know what you need to know. There is someone for everyone, and she'll find her match, but it doesn't sound like you're it. (Lucky you found out early)
EDIT: I know I'll probably get flamed for the PMS comment, but most women I know, you can't tell. If that is her way of dealing with it, it really falls back to "nasty person in general".

Could I have just caught her in a bad mood?
Who cares if it was just a bad mood... Avoid her like the plague!!!

Possibly.
But why didn't you just ask her?
She was already being rude to you so what did you have to lose by just coming out and saying, "is there something else going on with you today? Did you maybe have a bad day?"
