A guy I had been talking to for just a day online ona dating site, said he couldn't wait to hold me and kiss me! I found this too forward I said I wanted to take it slow then later he said it again. Then as he was far away he mentions coming over to see me he asked if we would be sleeping in the same bed twice!? He asked to meet after only talking for an couple of hours!? Please answer dose this sounds creepy!? I don't feel comfortable with this should I avoid him!?

Yes sounds creepy. The fact you said it was too fast and he said it again makes it even worse. If he hasn't listened after one day then sack this off.

Scutterbug · 30/09/2024 23:39

Yes he’s a creep. Move on.

WeirdyWorldy · 30/09/2024 23:42

Oh god yes! Just block!

UnNiddeRides · 30/09/2024 23:43

It dose sound creepy. Why are you even asking?

NahNotHavingIt · 30/09/2024 23:43

I don't really think you should do online dating if you have to ask this question OP.

And I'm not even being sarky, I'm actually being serious.

Yes block and do some work on your boundaries because you should’ve blocked him already.

I don't think the wanting to meet pretty soon is necessarily creepy within itself, but the presumption that not only would he be stopping at yours but would also be sharing your bed before you've even met/had that sort of discussion just smacks of him being after just one thing!!

Brendabigbaps · 01/10/2024 06:00

If your asking question then the answer is yes! Trust your gut

Yep.

Basically if you ever think to yourself "is this a red flag?"
It is.

I did 3 plus years of online dating i gave benefit of doubt repeatedly it always ended up the same.
Save yourself some time.

He sounds like a pig. Sorry if this is blunt OP.

Clearly he is assuming that you will have sex immediately, and he does not care what you want, or what pace you are comfortable with. He's an entitled pig.

Look for a man who has manners, considers you and your individual needs, and takes care to get to know you. Someone who asks you questions about yourself, and not your sleeping arrangements.

Block, delete, and don't look back with this one!

Stop online dating OP...you sound way too naive and immature (about dating) to be doing this.

Instead, work on your boundaries and social skills. Enlist the help of a trusted (more worldly) friend to support you with this.

As another PP has also said...I'm not being sarky, just realistic about how you are really not prepared enough for the sleazy world of online dating.

Just because you haven't dated for a long time doesn't mean you should ignore your instincts. It's your body's way of telling you when something or someone isn't right for you.

A random stranger has creeped you out after an hour or so of chat.

Him behaving like that he's either catfishing or a massive chancer.

Either tell him thanks but no thanks and if he persists then block him. Or just block him. He's a random stranger.

I have learned so much about dating, red flags, boundaries etc on this site. Wish I’d been here years ago.

block him.

Then spend some time over the next few days reading posts in the Relationships section. Not all will directly apply to the stage you are at but you’ll probably learn something from all of them. I guarantee you will feel much less naïve in no time, probably only a few days depending how much time you spend here. You will gain a stronger attitude to dating and probably enjoy it more. Good luck 🙂

A good rule of thumb is to imagine if you had this situation in a face to face interaction. You are in a.. library... and a bloke comes up to you, chats to you for a bit and then says it to your face. How would you react? Walk away, that's how.
Online etiquette is no different.

Unfortunately, many men on dating sites act this way. I have found that the name of the site you are using has something to do with it. Let me explain.
Whenever I use Shagslam I notice that the men are more forward. The reality is that the site name alone seems to lure a certain type of male, if you see what I mean.
When I use iBone Social, I sometimes feel as though I'm on a general forum site as opposed to a dating site. The men are more reasonable in the things they want to discuss and their approach is more civil.
One Wickedslam Dating you'll find some kinky stuff going on. Again, this site promotes itself as a no holds barred kind of online hub. Do you mind saying what's the name of the site you're on?
