Did I commit a dating sin? Moving too fast?

Started speaking to someone online and over the phone. He mentioned that he’d bought a weekend away for his sister and partner but they’d broke up and so he’d like to take me and said he was thinking of this date to go.

We met up and it was good, he even mentioned about us going on another weekend away.

Now last I’ve text him and mentioned the weekend and he’s said today that I’m moving too fast and he can’t believe I want to spend an entire weekend with him,

Confused

If he had never mentioned the already paid for weekend I would never have asked anything about going away

At least he's quickly let it be known what a weirdo he is.

From the text saying have a nice life, I’d be done from that. Well, the other texts would have been the decider but the nice life one is the nail in the coffin so to speak. What a dick.

I agree with the other posters. "Have a nice life' sounds very immature.

I would text back "thanks, very much intend too, now that I'm not seeing you again" 😂😂😂

But then again he's related to your best friend's boyfriend, what a shame mind you, I'd probably still send that text anyway 😆

He’s one of those nasty little fuckers who enjoys manipulating other people, yet doesn’t have enough skill or panache to carry it off. Literally block and move on. God I’m so glad I gave up internet dating x

It sounds like you are both moving too fast here!

Him mentioning a weekend away before you even met should have been a big red flag.

I'd text back to the "nice life" comment, and say, "Thanks, I will!"

And then block.

Derbee · 06/09/2019 20:29

Agree with PPs. I’d text back and say “thanks, will do. A bit of feedback, you’re texting a lot. It’s coming on a bit strong”

The biggest headfuck I ever went out with did something very similar to me. I was young and didn't know guys did stuff like this.

I then learned about another 10 or so red flags. Steep learning curve for me.

Today's young woman should be very grateful for the wisdom contained on the MN boards.

God what a dick. I'd go with the old passive aggressive thumbs up emoji as my response.

eladen · 06/09/2019 20:45

Yes but a normal response to an invitation for a weekend away from a guy you've never yet met is 'what the actual fuck no way you weirdo' so I'm wondering why the op didn't say that?

Me too.

sue51 · 06/09/2019 20:58

He sounds childish with the have a nice life text. You don't need that. Block and forget.

Dieu · 06/09/2019 21:02

I still don't understand. Why would you be discussing a weekend away at such an early stage?
I agree that you should forget about him though.

PapayaCoconut · 07/09/2019 02:16

around 10 mins after we met I had my head down looking on on my phone (booking us an Uber) and he leaned down and under and kissed me

This was also s fucking weirdo move. Yuck.

Coyoacan · 07/09/2019 03:16

Sounds like the mind-fuck my dd wasted a year and a half on. They like to think they are being chased and then run away.

PurpleFlower1983 · 07/09/2019 06:19

Block and move on!

ChaoticKate · 07/09/2019 06:24

Run like the wind!

SavageBeauty73 · 07/09/2019 06:29

Red flags! Run!
