I got chatting to a guy online and he seemed okay so we swapped photos. he was ok to look at but I did not like his personality. He kept asking me if I fancied him from his photo. He then said can I meet you next week to get to know you. I said I don't meet people I hardly know and he said to me where you can get to know me when you meet me. I kept on saying can be chat first and he said I want to meet you so I told him I don't think we are onto the same thing here and I don't really think we should chat anymore and say goodbye.

Somebody said to me you can't get a man so it first I thought I'll meet this man just to prove to her that I am able to get a man but then I thought something's not right here so I didn't pursue it

That he is a dodgy person because he's secretive about why he got divorced and why he left Argentina to live in the UK and he keeps thinking that we have a good connection no I'm sorry we don't

So why are you writing a thread about it?

I did online dating. You had to wade through a pile of shit. You chat with people, you’re not into them, you say bye and unmatch. The end. If I stared a thread about every guy I didn’t want to meet up with, I’d have never had a moment off mumsnet!

What is it you want people to say? You’re online dating, you talked, you don’t like him. So what? Don’t talk to him again and move on with your life.

You don’t sound like you have the constitution for online dating. Maybe just don’t.

That's a hell of a drip drip drip

My cat has a more legible dating history, and that's before he found my tinder

It doesn’t sound like you’re in the right frame of mind to be online dating.
thats not a slight against you, I’m not either which is why I’m not doing it, you need a thick skin for it and good boundaries.

Ok. You said goodbye

What would you like us to tell you?

I don't quite understand what you mean but if you already felt like you wouldn't get along based off of your online messaging, it's probably a good idea to just not meet up.

In summary- you don't like his personality.
Say no, block, move on.
