to refuse a lift from a man on a first date?

[squishee]

I've just some across a second bloke who wanted to insist and argue the point. His arguments: "I'm the respectable type" (he claims to be a composer) and "but we know each other" (we've exchanged e-mails and spoken on the phone).

AIB that U to have a zero tolerance policy?

And to pull my judgy pants on when a man wants to object rather than respect my wishes?

I wouldn't get in a car on a first date with a man i didn't know. However I recently went on a first date, we had arranged to meet in a car park and when I went to pay for parking all the coins had gone from my purse. He came in my car with me to a free car park. I felt that was more ok because I was driving and it wasn't far.

Of course he could just be badly out of practice and have lived alone long enough to forget how normal social interactions work. Happens.
