Met someone online, we’ve been talking for about a week. He’s very funny, has a great personality and felt like I’ve known him a lot longer. I have been single for a long time and I’m not into rushing things, I like to be friends for a while first and get to know someone - kind of ‘demisexual’ and old fashioned in that respect. I’ve told him all of this.

We met up for the first time last week, things were going well but then after a few drinks he kept groping me and making comments about my ass etc. The next day he apologised, blamed it on the drink and seemed really mortified. I thought okay, I like him enough to move past it (we’ve had some deep conversations and I don’t believe he’s just wanting sex). Since the date he’s started messaging more, before we’d just catch up in the evening but now it’s all day long and he says he can’t stop thinking about me etc. It all feels very rushed and I’m freaking out, but having been alone for so long I don’t know if it’s normal for things to move at this speed or just me not being ready?

Do you grope people when you've had a drink? No. Booze does not turn people into gropers. It gives gropers a convenient 'excuse'

Can you clarify? Was he groping you while mid-snog or before you'd even kissed him?

He’s probably a letch with women when drunk. Wouldn’t trust him on a night out if that’s what he does when drunk. Move on op

@HollowTalk We had already kissed but weren’t when the groping started it was just in the middle of a conversation.

Ugh, that would be it for me - a public grope from a bloke you don't really know - I wouldn't give him a second chance.

Moving far too quickly is love bombing.
Please dump now before you get in any deeper and the fact he groped you when you told him boundaries is a big no .

@Naunet

He sounds like a creep rushing to get you into bed. The groping didn’t work, so now he’ll act like he’s in love with you instead. Basic, 10 a penny bloke, you can pick up another like this within seconds on Tinder.

What’s demisexual by the way?!

Definitely this!

@VodkaSlimline

YABU for using stupid made-up words like "demisexual". Most people, especially most women, prefer to get to know a partner before being intimate rather than shagging complete strangers. Demisexual is not a thing.
THAT'S the sum total of your contribution to this thread?

God, I fucking hate Mumsnet at times.
