Last night was just beyond awkward.
Second time I met him.
He lives 10 mins from me so he suggested I walk to his place and we get a taxi into town for drinks.
I get there and he says his aunt and uncle and cousin and her boyfriend are also heading into town so we will share a taxi (first awkward moment )
Then in the taxi he says we might as well join them for a drink (couldn't say no as they all heard )
Then after 40 mins of awkwardness he says ok me and Kelly are going to another pub ...phew.
We have a drink and he's texting them to see where they are ..he then takes me to this pub and we sit with them for a hour.
I felt so uncomfortable,I barely know him.
So I left and went home.
Aibu here to think he shouldn't of done this?

Oh FFS @Husky..... who appointed you the grammar police. Hmm

Please go out with him again...

Just for entertainment purposes.

It's very alarming how he clearly did not think of your comfort level AT ALL. Anyone with 2 brain cells would realise that thrusting family upon someone for a second date is just completely bizarre and unacceptable. Run for your life. He obviously has some issues.

He is beyond weird. Walk away and find someone who isn’t attached to their family by a piece of elastic.

MissConductUS · 13/04/2019 16:26

That was bad but not epic. Bin, move on, it's a numbers game. At least he disqualified himself fairly quickly and didn't manage to hide the weirdness from you for months.

Years ago l went on a blind date with a guy l met online. We'd emailed loads, and we had loads in common. He was in his thirties and living with his parents, but he said that was because he'd moved back with them when he was made redundant. He was working when l met him, though.
We met up, he was nice enough, but l didn't feel a 'spark', he wasn't my type and l didn't fancy him, but we got on fine otherwise. Until, halfway through the date, his mum called him, and he answered. Judging from his side of the conversation (yes, he took the call sitting next to me!), she was asking how it was going! And he actually sat there saying "Oh, yes, lovely, really nice!"
l couldn't believe it. He seemed really keen but a couple of days after the date l lied and said l was trying again with my ex. l can't even imagine a teenager doing that these days, never mind a man in his thirties. l just had visions of him wanting her to come on the honeymoon if we got married....

Reminds me of a bloke I went out with when I was a teenager.
I'd met his parents (no choice since we were still at school and not many places to go)
After a month I was round at his place and his parents proudly produced some new mugs they'd bought on holiday, personalised with Fred , Doris (parents), Dave (him) and "Breakfast" (me)

How could I dump a bloke once I had my OWN MUG at his house?
Carried on seeing him for 2 months longer than I really wanted to

Poppyputthekettleon · 13/04/2019 16:42

Oh dear OP, sounds like an ex of mine whose parents rang him on our first date to check he was okay and send how it was going, he then texted them each time we moved onto somewhere new on our day out. We had know each other since we were kids and his parents had met me before when we were just friends. I ignored the alarm bells you shouldn't!

katseyes7 · 13/04/2019 16:45

l think you've dodged a bullet there! There are some very strange people about.

l was very friendly with one of the girls l worked with on my shift. She'd got chatting on the phone to a lad who worked for the same organisation, but at a different location (emergency services) and they arranged to go on a date.
Her brother said he'd drop her off, but he couldn't pick her up, so l said l would. We agreed that l'd pick her up at a certain time and place, unless she texted me earlier if it was going badly.
l got a text from her about an hour into the date, so went to collect her. When l met her, she was furious. Apparently he'd asked her all kinds of personal questions, ranging from "how would you decorate our house", "how many children do you want?" and "how many one night stands have you had?"
The last one was the final straw. That's when she texted me and told him to fuck off. Can't say l blame her, really. And he even had the cheek to ring her up at work later on to "give her another chance"!

Notverygrownup. Shock That happened to you on a date?!

ALongHardWinter · 13/04/2019 17:53

YANBU OP! I would hate it if someone did that,on only the second date.
I had a ghastly date about 20 years ago,about a year after I'd split up with my husband. He barely said a word all evening,apart from telling me that I could do with losing a stone in weight! Angry. He then had the nerve to phone me a few days later saying he had really enjoyed himself and could he see me again?! I think you can guess my response.

recrudescence · 13/04/2019 18:10

That does not sound like fun at all. Move onto the next one pronto.

Notverygrownup · 13/04/2019 19:15

Yes! It was supposed to be a nice country walk, with a pub lunch half way round . . . but we got lost, it started to rain heavily, I slipped off the path and had to grab onto the plants at the edge of the drop . . . and then was really too muddy to go to the pub, so called it a day, and went home for a loooong warm bath (alone, needless to say). It wasn't all his fault I suppose, but since the spark really wasn't there, I have to say that the bath was very very much the best bit.

Neext . . .

SilverySurfer · 13/04/2019 19:17

Dump - I can't believe you're even asking.

boraboroff · 13/04/2019 19:33

I have soooo many bad date stories from my time on OLD. One was with this guy....we went out for dinner. He "forgot his wallet" so like an idiot I paid for dinner. I then got a text the next day saying I was "just right on paper": great personality, intelligent, the right political outlook....obviously I could do with losing some weight but he was willing to overlook it. Get lost!! anyway I have learned a lot since those dark days and am now engaged to an amazing man. Keep standards high OP!!!!! Smile

JohnMcCainsDeathStare · 14/04/2019 11:46

I went on a date after much pestering as as I was in High School my mum drove me there - he'd offered to send me a taxi but I declined. We find it was a grim old man's pub in the middle of nowhere where having failed to see him in the gloom and getting leered at we both turned on our heels and left without a word.

He rang later asking why I hadn't shown up having not realised what a crappy idea it was for a first date.

PyongyangKipperbang · 14/04/2019 18:55

Have. The word is Have, not Of

The word I am thinking of is Arsehole.0

PyongyangKipperbang · 14/04/2019 18:55

Sorry, that should be "The word I am thinking HAVE is Arsehole" :)
