To feel I'm losing control...

Background.. Posted on here a few months ago about newly ignited passion for a guy I'd been online dating with, for a year. Finally met him and was overcome with randiness and shagged him (not brilliant sex). I decided after conversation on here to look for someone closer. I live outside the UK, but still in Europe.

So, I met someone, he was very keen. Local to me. I only had time for one date with him. Unfortunately 2 days later, I had to leave to come back to UK for a few months, so we're keeping in touch until I get back in September.

All good. But some things are really bothering me. He insists he's not married, I believe him, but there's something not right.

  1. His first questions on online dating included whether I lived alone and asking if I was married
  2. Because of the language difference, I suggested we bring our phones to the meeting so we could use online translators... He didn't bring his phone.. Said he'd left it in his car (parked 50metres away)
  3. I can't find him on any social media. He works in the music business, so I would have thought he would be in some social media
  4. He says he doesn't have WhatsApp as he has a new phone and hasn't installed it yet (eh?), so I have no phone number for him. I can't make a big issue about this, because of the language, so we only communicate via the dating website
  5. When I met him, he seemed very confident... I've met a few men on online dating... There's always an edge of nervousness about them
6.Our conversations online have degenerated to being over sexual. Unfortunately I instigated this.
  1. He says he lives alone, then says I wouldn't be able to go to his place as his daughters are there. His first emails said his daughters were both married.
  2. I've asked repeatedly for a current photo of him, he says his camera doesn't work.. Though he managed to take one of his dick (sorry). I suggested the dick pic must have already been on his phone then... He denied this

So, I don't know if I'm uneasy because there's something wrong or uneasy because I've started sexual talk with him when we haven't even kissed. I'm getting out of control here. Checking for messages all day.. He's definitely cooled off over the last week, which might be because I keep asking for a face photo or could be because I've sussed out something is wrong.

I don't know what to do....

@OkSpiritualknot

Groovylegs.. I mean I'm losing my control over rational thought and ability to stop checking for messages all the time...
Why? He doesn't sound like much of a catch.

Chicken, no, I just feel 3 days is my limit and I'll block him after that.

Hot again... This isn't normal behaviour for me.. Normally I'm pretty cool and indifferent...

Married

He sounds dreadful and married. What kind of grown man can’t download WhatsApp and can only take pictures of his penis but not his face? Walk. Away. Quickly.

He sounds utterly horrible, married or not! Definitely give him a wide berth.

If you feel out of control, take control and block him.

Don't sit simpering, waiting for any scrap he will throw you.

Have some self value.

Honestly, who could be bothered with this?

Camera broken but can take a dick pic? But also denies it was already on his phone?

Honestly, why do you want to be treated like a mug? I have kids that tell me ridiculous lies and hope I'll fall for them, I just cannot imagine having the energy for this nonsense with a grown man.
