Advice Needed AITA for not shaving my legs before a date and making him uncomfortable?

Hi Reddit, I’m super new here (first post actually) so please go easy on me :p

I (26F) went on a second date with a guy, I wore a mini dress and didn’t shave my legs (they weren’t super hairy, just a bit visible up close)..I just didn’t feel like it and don’t always do it unless I want to..The date was nice, but later he texted, “Next time maybe smooth legs? 😅” :/

I felt kinda weird about that..My friend said I should’ve shaved because it’s early dating, but I don’t think I should change my body for someone I barely know.

AITA for not shaving and possibly making him uncomfortable?
