Maybe take this as a lesson for next time. Don't invite anyone round until you know for sure what they're like.

StripeyandConfused · 24/10/2020 08:15

I wont. At least I've saved myself the hassle of another date with him suppose

What does 'really intense' mean?

StripeyandConfused · 24/10/2020 08:54

We were listening to music and he insisted on stopping the music to explain the meaning of the song, notes etc. He then started telling me about his familys issues etc. It was just too intense for me

A pain in the hole then more or less?

I thought you meant he was maybe pushing for sex or something.

StripeyandConfused · 24/10/2020 10:44

StripeyandConfused · 24/10/2020 21:46

Erm he is erm odd

But

He knows where you live...

StripeyandConfused · 24/10/2020 21:51

He does know where I live but I highly doubt he will turn up

OP posts:
CodenameVillanelle · 24/10/2020 21:51

What if he was just sharing something he was passionate about in regards to him pausing the music to explain the reason behind it.. maybe it was just a bit too over the top because he was drunk but I dunno it just sounds like he wanted to share his interests with you he obviously trusted and liked you to be talking about his family etc.
But then again I weren't there so it could have been way weirder than you've worded it

StripeyandConfused · 24/10/2020 22:37

I found it intense and I've learnt to trust my instincts a bit more but then they can be off due to anxiety. God I hate dating

OP posts:
yellowhighheels · 24/10/2020 22:46

I have anxiety too OP and with dating, I think it really helps me feel more secure to really respect my own boundaries and instincts, as you have.

This felt wrong so you asked him to leave. That's good. If he seemed harmless but odd, there's no harm in squaring this away by sending him a polite but clear 'it was nice to meet you but I didn't feel a spark etc. ' text then block if he bothers you further.

StripeyandConfused · 24/10/2020 22:50

I'm so fed up of this shit

OP posts:
WorraLiberty · 24/10/2020 23:40

If you hate dating then why don't you stop doing it?

You've posted a lot about dating and none of it has really been positive.

Being one half of a couple isn't mandatory. Dating is supposed to be fun. If it's causing you this much stress, why not find a hobby to do or something?

That way, you might meet someone when you least expect it and just 'click'. Online dating doesn't appear to be for you.

CaterwaulingPeasant · 24/10/2020 23:53

I agree with Worra if dates are causing you hassle just stop. Get happy by yourself & then when you restart dating you’ll feel less anxious about standing up for what you want, reject the arseholes at first sign & find someone worthy of you & who will be a happy addition to your already happy life.

Not desperate for another partner at all. Single 18 months after leaving an abusive marriage my choice as I look after me and always have done.
