WIBU to tell him to get lost based on these two date suggestions

[GiveMeStrengthOrAHobby]

Option 1) tescos
Option 2) "crap pub"

Context: met through OLD, chatting for a couple of months, talked on the phone and arranged to meet on 27th.

His car is off the road so i said i would come to his neck of the woods, he should suggest where as i dont know the area.

Tescos is his first choice. Crap pub came about after i pushed back on tescos.

Told him as its a first meet and i am travelling to him (circa 50 miles) i expect more than tescos or a crap pub. Its in his court but I feel like saying "sod it" all together

Tescos?? I don't get it, to do what? Help him with his Christmas shopping?

50 miles for a date in Tesco??
Hell no.

Tesco? How the hell did that come up as a date suggestion? If he knows you’re travelling it’s at a minimum coffee in a nice coffee place, preferably lunch somewhere - or this is the perfect time of year for ice skating or something lovely. Honestly it’s so easy to come up with decent date ideas at Christmas there’s no excuse for crap ones.

I'd just leave that I think. You're not on the same wavelength.

What kind of a date is going to Tesco?!

Does he actually mean a date in Tesco?? Or just to meet there as it’s easy to find? If the former, then of course you shouldn’t put yourself out for this. 50 miles is a long way to travel for someone who can’t even be arsed to think of a nice venue.

Please elaborate on Tesco's

OLD is rubbish

Does he own Tescos?

I have nothing to elaborate on, he said Tescos, i assumed he meant Tescos cafe

I know a couple people who would actually consider a lunch at somewhere like a Tesco cafe a great idea. Usually because there's a buy one get one free type deal on. It's a sign of a major tightarse. Run, run far away and don't look back.

There's a Costa in my local Tesco. I would still say that's a shit date.

Who says 'crap pub'???? Let's face it, he has self esteem issues just from that comment

was it just a suggestion of somewhere to meet that he can get to easily, has large car park and easy for you to find? - and them go on somewhere?

Well I guess it’s a good public place to meet for the first time....and you can see if he’s a psycho based on what he puts in his trolley

@HerRoyalNotness yep, rope, chainsaw, matches... might be a give away

Funny you should say that @managedmis i thought the same a couple of times

Maybe he is thinking along the lines of a fairly neutral place that is a 'safe' public place.

Don’t bother. You’d only end up more pissed off if you go.

It would be a no from me.

I dont think so @bookmum08, when we first started talking about meeting he suggested we meet at mine, which i put down to not understanding the old etiquette but the more i think about it.....

Going to sleep on it, get the general feeling the consensus is ianbu

MN advertising is offering me Succulent & Authentic Burgers at Shake Shack Leicester Square - this thread is being subtly commented on even by the adverts, that's how bad those date choices are...

I wouldn't be keen on Tesco if it was a 10min stroll away but 50mile drive?

To be honest I wouldn’t chat to anyone online for so long only to go meet them and realize in 5 mins they are arrogant/creepy/stupid or all of the above. I only go for coffee for a first date as I don’t want to waste time either. I am sure you can find someone better than this so move on)

I’m guessing he’s either broke or tight with money. It seems like you’re not a good match, so just say no.

Tesco? Hell no.

If that’s his “impress a date” locations you can imagine his girlfriend and wife locations.....home, watching him play online on his xbox.
