AIBU to not go on a date with any of these guys.

[Needsmorecake]

man 1 ) has refquented dating sites as long as me ( a LONG time) ive chatted to him but have not taken it futher than that before. We got chatting a few days ago and he keeps going on about how beautiful, how' Hi- lar-ious' i am. How he wants to date me on a date that starts at a zoo, then we go for lunch, then we go on a beachside walk hand in hand, then we get all dressed up and go for dinner, then we go to some bars, then he comes home and pleasures me for hours. He keeps saying he wants to take me away but we must go via ann summers... and how perfect i am. hes never met me, i feel like its the most insincere shit ive ever heard and hes covered in red flags.

man 2) friend of a friend. Swapped numbers, got a bit smutty, i told him i wasnt interested in casua sex, he assures me he isnt either. Hes asked when im free, ive said monday, which he keeps confusing with tuesday and hes not actually made any plans other than that... though he does keep asking if im free, every evening since thur. Last night he asked twice, once at about 6pm and once again at 10pm ish.

Man 3) we have been chatting for 10 days, he has made no moves to ask me out, but does keep hinting at wanting me to send rude pictures.

I cant be arsed and think they are all losers, my friend thinks im being too picky...
so?

Nope. Run for the hills. Not so much red flags, that lot are covered in red bunting.

Sorry but im chuckling at the motley crew you've ended up with here! is there an option 4- join a convent?

1 wants to model you into a porn star of his own making. 2 actually is into internet dating too, hence him asking you repeatedly when you are free and never doing anything about it, because he is chatting to so many women at once. 3, does no one just want to get to know each other nowadays?

You need to tell your friend that she needs to be more picky if she thinks any of them are any good.

They all sound like creepy smutmeisters, tell you friend to go out with them if she's so keen.

As my dear old mum always used to say, 'It's better to be on your own than with a wankbadger'

Well they all sound just lovely. But how ever will you choose?

I'd point out that they seem to be confusing a dating service with an escort service.

They sound great. It's just like the flashbacks in Mamma Mia when Meryl gets Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth AND the saucy Scandi one.

And they say there's no decent men around. Gah!

Jesus, your friend has low standards!

Good Lord, they're all awful!

Is your friend so successful at dating that you feel confident about taking relationship/dating advice from her?

Nope they are sound like right losers.

Good God, you are not being picky at all, what a bunch!

I'm stunned that you even give any of them the time of day!

It's so frustrating when friends think that their single friend is being too "picky" when actually they would rather eat their toenails than go out with the guy if they were single too.

It's better to be single than with the wrong guy. They all sound horrific.

Show more respect for yourself, how can you get 'smutty' with someone you haven't even met and then make the comment you're not into casual sex .

I don't understand how some people can be so desperate to find a boy/girl friend. Find yourself a hobby .

They're not losers they are chancers and piss takers.
If you've been frequenting dating sites for a long time you should be wise to all that bullshit

Your instincts are not wrong, and your friend seriously needs to raise her standards.

er, cheers Ragwort... i didnt say i had been smutty, i said he had got smutty and then i told him i wasnt interested in that nor casual sex....

ive plenty of self respect.

I am also wise to the bullshit and see straight through it, just friends keep telling me im turning down suitable men. I dont think i am....

They are all clearly after a shag, arent they?

yanbu.

if you are not after a meaningless quickie then why suffer their bullcrap while they try to manipulate the situation into a scenario where you're butt naked?

I particularly like number 2s evening calls. Subtle...

The poster who mentioned red flag bunting was spot on.

Block those losers and keep searching.

Sorry Needs - I read it that you both got smutty . But seriously, if a guy gets smutty in the first few telephone conversations then surely that is a red flag that you absolutely do not want to meet him and end any further conversations.

Anyway, to answer your original question, no you are certainly not being too picky.

You should go on a date with the first one. Let him take you to the zoo, lunch, the beach (where you should not hold his hand) then out for dinner etc etc.

Then at the end of the evening, tell him that you're not feeling a spark so can't really see your way to being 'pleasured' (that word!) for hours, thanks, and run into your house, locking the door after you.

That'll cure him of bullshitting...maybe.

Pees me right off when folk say you're picky, when really, your bullshit detector is finely-tuned and you can spot a bad 'un a mile off.

OP - you're right on the money here!

YANBU to not date any of these pricks, steer WELL clear!

I'm laughing my socks off here. So!!

1. Pleasure After The Zoo Man
2. Doesn't Know The Days Of The Week Man
3. Rude Pictures, But No Other Human Communication Man.

OP YOU ARE SPOLIT FOR CHOICE!!!
