Not going on date if he won't pick me up?

[simpleskmonwent]

It's my 3rd date with this guy.
He suggested on Saturday to go for a drive into the country and go for lunch and look around this village.
I thought that sounded great.
I live 25 min drive from him or 50 min train journey to his local city.
He said can you meet me at (his local train station) so that's a extra train and another 20 mins.
I said can we not meet in your city centre train station (as only 1 train for me) he said he couldn't park easy there.
So I have to get two trains and a 1hr 10 min journey to then go on a drive.
It's just putting me off.
Aibu here if I didn't go.
Then after a hours drive in the country he will drop me off at the train station for a 1hr journey and he drives 5 mins home.

I’ve read the whole thread but missed the part about DVDs?
I didn’t actually think many people bought them anymore (with streaming, Netflix and prime) but I’m intrigued to know what he did!

On the 2nd date, OP suggested meeting in a town near him, but he couldn't be bothered, and asked her to go to his to watch DVDs.

I wouldn't go either.

OH and I have been together 3 years now. Early dating days I was unemployed for the first couple of weeks and had quite a low wage.
He was v accommodating and always drove to see me. Half an hour drive minimum, hour or more if traffic was bad.

He wanted to see me. That much was made clear and he really didn't mind making the effort of travelling on one of the worst roads in the country. I got trains to him when I could afford it, when my financial situation got better.

Maybe he has money problems and doesn't want to say anything? 🤔🤔 if not, then it sounds like laziness. Get rid.

Block and move on. Don’t waste any more headspace on him

Bloody hell, think you’ve had a lucky escape there!

Thanks for filling me in! Not sure how I missed that!
That’s grim (not the DVD part but the sheer laziness and lack of effort!)
The start is supposed to be exciting, fun and full of memories!

Yuck.
