Did I over react ?

Any this thread is a bit old now. Did you resurrect it just to pick a fight?

If a bloke I didn't know well directed me towards parking at distance from the venue for an evening meal (i.e. It required walking back together) when there are nearer alternative, I might be questioning his motives.

This.

While it is possible that he is just clueless about the parking possibilities there and just happens to know only the one he mentioned, this is an orange flag.

Has he tried to meet you alone at other times?

Calling a woman much older than him "good girl" speaks of an attitude that ... won't go away with being called out on its symptoms one time.

Like srsly, is everyone going to get mad over someone saying "good girl"

You didn't overreact. He was already on thin ice with the "it's too complicated I'd better walk you there" but with the "good girl" he plunged right in. More people should react that way rather than making excuses for arseholes.

Aaaahhhh. Yes I am familiar with the concept

Glad it turned out well - gotta dismantle that patriarchy one mansplainer at a time

Btw - penis portions? Is that like how much you can serve as 1 portion when having burned penis for dinner*?

reference to recent troll post. Not something I actually do*

** that often, anyway

If a bloke I didn't know well directed me towards parking at distance from the venue for an evening meal (i.e. It required walking back together) when there are nearer alternative, I might be questioning his motives. He sound like a patronizing twat, regardless.

He still sounds like a complete sexist, belittling, patronising chump.

Sounds like an okay outcome then.

perhaps he saw that as you wanting his attention?

Even if that were the case (and I'm not sure how you'd get there from: I don't know the place we're meeting at, so I've got some logistical questions,) that still doesn't make "good girl" okay. Why would anyone think that's the sort of attention a grown woman wants?

maybe the 'good girl' was in respect to the 'where do I park', 'how far is it' style questions which seem a little childish

It's childish to ask where parking is available and how far it'd be (so how long it'd take to enable arrival on time) from there to the venue?

There are two sides to this - maybe the 'good girl' was in respect to the 'where do I park', 'how far is it' style questions which seem a little childish - perhaps he saw that as you wanting his attention? If someone told me we were meeting somewhere I would look for my own place to park. Not keeps the texts going with questions.
Sorry! Just fastening my hard hat.

Any boy or man who said that to me would get short shrift. The only one who's ever got away with something similar was my dad (and that was "that's my girl" a few years ago). It wouldn't even be tolerated from him now, let alone a friend/acquaintance. Him being a fair bit younger compounds it.

You definitely didn't overreact.

I suppose not but equally I wouldn't get super angry if an acquaintance texted it to me. Text is hard to understand tone, especially if you don't know someone that well and people have odd text habits. In person it's a different situation as you can see how they mean it.

You have an established relationship with your boss where this type of joke is fine. OP does not.

Would you say the same to acquaintances?

He withheld information for no reason and rewarded you for compliant behaviour. I'd be extremely concerned about any female partner and children

Tell him about Google Maps, and how you can get a route postcode to postcode

That is a complete overreaction to his not providing directions by text.

As for Google maps and postcodes using that to get to my office will take someone to a place which Google maps is convinced is correct but due to the combination of different street levels, dual carriageways and underpasses is completely wrong.

Or , as I found out visiting a friend's daughter and new baby for the first time recently Google maps failed miserably with a development of flats with an unconventional lay out.

If he starts making jokes about menopausal rage, just say, "Nope I just don't like being patronised, especially by someone who was still shitting their nappy when I was going out to work" or, if too rude for the assembled company "...by someone 18 years my junior".

Yes jiggly, we have a friendly jokey relationship. Lots of teasing, me saying he need Botox and him telling me I need more make up. He's a very lovely boss and bends over backwards for all employees.

I would be deeply unimpressed with someone saying "good girl" to me, too. Exactly how I would react would depend on the person, my relationship with them, whether I acted about maintaining that relationship and probably whether I was already pissed off about patriarchy because of having been at work all day.
