So I went on a date

After a couple of weeks of chatting I went on a date last night. We got on so well, had a really good time and arranged a second date. He messaged when I got home saying he had a good time and cant wait to see me again.
So this morning he video chats me saying he really likes me, all great until he called me the wrong name, he said sorry straight away but now I'm thinking I may not be the only one hes saying all the right things to?

Should i just cut him off now or just forget about it and see what happens?

Ask him if he’s seeing anyone else and who the person is ?

ChrisPrattsFace · 24/11/2019 10:32

Ask him who it is?

I get names mixed up sometimes.

You've had one date! Have a chat about being exclusive before you shag him, but you're overthiniking a slip of the tongue otherwise, it could be an ex / sister / friend / work colleague.

It's been one date, I think a name mix up is forgivable

SimonJT · 24/11/2019 10:40

It’s only one date, I’ve been with my boyfriend since April and I regularly call him by my cats name or my cousins name and they’re both girls.

JorisBonson · 24/11/2019 10:41

God help him if you're like this after one date.

StarlightLady · 24/11/2019 10:42

If he wasn’t screaming out someone else’s name you were in bed, I don’t think this is a big deal. I called someone by an ex boyfriend’s name once. And that was some 12 months later.

You've only had one date - he's probably talking to and dating other people - and so should you!

JenniferM1989 · 24/11/2019 10:50

A name mix up is very easy to do. I often mix up my son and DH's names and will call one of my sisters by the other sisters name. He might have called you by his sisters name for example if he recently spoke to her or called you by someone he works withs name or something like that.

I don't think many men video call women after the first date when there's other options on the cards do they? Would he not play it cool knowing there's other options?

happycamper11 · 24/11/2019 10:57

He could very well be talking to other people, after just one recent date that's still wholly acceptable.

pictish · 24/11/2019 11:00

Um...yeah. People get names mixed up and he’s not pledging exclusivity after a single date.
Chill out a bit and see what happens. If he’s for playing the field you’ll soon know and can act accordingly.

Dani80 · 24/11/2019 11:11

I dont mind if hes talking to others I would just rather of him been honest with me but I have asked him now and yes he is talking to a few others and actually got a date with the girl whose name he called me today.
So I'm just going to go with the flow see what happens

How was he dishonest, did he tell you before that he wasn't talking to others?

ChrisPrattsFace · 24/11/2019 12:47

He was honest with you after you asked him?
I would have found it more concerning if whilst on your date he told you he was seeing other people without the question/topic being prompted.

You asked, he answered.

Dani80 · 24/11/2019 13:39

Yea he was, I think what bothered me most was 2 days ago he asked me if I'd not talk to anyone else and put 100% into us now we've arranged the date as he would be doing. That hes never had a strong connection like this before and would really like to see where things go with us.

JorisBonson · 24/11/2019 13:52

You have had ONE DATE.

MRex · 24/11/2019 13:52

Well that's a different slant on things. If he'd asked me back when I was online dating, I would have said "no, we haven't even met yet, so let's meet up and then see how things are". I'd have seen it as a red flag too and been watchful. What did you say at the time?

Pimmsypimms · 24/11/2019 23:07

Hmm, so he expects you put in 100% And be exclusive so to speak, but he's ok to carry on dating? I wouldn't be happy about this tbh.
