There is this man - someone I used to be friends with but didn't know very well and I bumped into him recently. I think he's quite nice - not sure I'd want a relationship/fling with him but maybe... Anyway he suggested we went for a drink another time and we became friends on facebook. On facebook he said to let him know when I was free to go for a drink and gave me his phone number. (He knows I am a single parent by the way).
(By the way, as a single parent it's not easy to go out - takes a bit of planning but I have got a baby sitter this Friday).
I left it a few weeks before texting him because I have been busy and this is our bizarre conversation;
me; Hi, x did you get my message on fb? hope you're well.
him; haven't been on for a while. I'll have a look after I've had a bath. I'm guessing it didn't say you were popping round with bubble bath!
me; err no! and prob not worth looking now as I just said I thought you worked most evenings?
him; why you interested what I do at night?I'm like you, work all day and get bored most nights. Thats the zeros for you much preferred the 90's.
me; if you look at our conversation on fb you'll see why I said that. By the way I don't work all day and get bored at night!!
him;how would you describe yourself? if your not the lonely single type, do you have bubble bath and candles every night?
me; well thanks 4 describing me as lonely single type!
him; happiest people I know. They just take what they need and give back as much as they take and enjoy the flow. Seriously though, I don't really know you but always thought you were interesting though...
me; ok you're forgiven. Not lonely and only recently single though.
him; been longer that I care to mention - planning to get back in the saddle soon. If you do know any bored, lonely, available women let me know.
me; yeah will do but can't think of any though. What about yyy but don't think she's lonely though. but I may be free for a drink on friday to catch up if you're free.
him; She's not really my type. Prefer women with a bit more if you know what I mean. anyway, unless you're going to pop round, I guess this is goodnight. Sweet dreams.
me; did you read end of my message - I said I may be free on friday to catch up?
him; yes I did. Just thought you might like to catch up sooner. All this texting stuff is fun but I prefer the real thing and thought you were the same crazy type you liked the real thing! Night babes. XXX
can you help me make sense of this cos I would like a fling possibly with him but am confused. I didn't reply to last one by the way.

Oh My God What An Arse!
Babes?? Crazy type? A bit more if you know what I mean! 
No one is that desperate. Leave well alone, he is a tit.
He was looking for a quick shag. Immediately. And everyone should stop texting 'though' 
A nice drink? I'd rather shut my arm in the car door
Got out with a friend, go out alone, just do not go out with this creep.
Because you weren't panting at his bathroom door in stockings and suspenders in under half an hour, finding 
He's a dick. Pay him no heed.
I don't understand why you're confused. He wants a fuck, you want a nice drink. And never the twain shall meet

That's not WQ is it?
Agree with ChippingIn. Urgh yuck at his texts, what was he hoping for some flirty texts and phone sex. Yuck. Stay well clear
