To be absolutely disgusted at my date?

He drove and when we got back to mine and parked up we had a kiss. I had a top on with a zip down the middle and he went to pull it down and I said no, this happened twice. I then got out the car and he quickly apologised that “he gets a bit carried away”.

Surely my first no should have been enough?

Yup. It should.

What a turn off.

Tink3rbell30 · 08/11/2024 00:10

Massive ick.

username7891 · 08/11/2024 00:11

Quite right.

Kitkatcatflap · 08/11/2024 00:11

Cringe. A definite No

Happygogoat · 08/11/2024 00:11

Block!

GreengrassofW · 08/11/2024 00:11

Not a good start, throw him back

R41nb0wR0se · 08/11/2024 00:12

YANBU. He should have asked before trying the first time!

nadine90 · 08/11/2024 00:15

If that's his behaviour on a first date I dread to think how he might behave further down the line. Creep

HRTQueen · 08/11/2024 00:19

well he has told you he gets a bit carried away

when someone tells you who they are listen!!!

block him op

staceyflack · 08/11/2024 00:19

First date?
If so... you are being completely unreasonable to be in his car.

staceyflack · 08/11/2024 00:19

And show him where you live.

NavyOrca · 08/11/2024 00:20

Don’t ever see him again. And block him.

Victim blaming much!! She should be able to trust that he won’t act without consent wherever they are.

staceyflack · 08/11/2024 00:21

And yes of course, no means no - the first time.

HermoinePotter · 08/11/2024 00:21

Grim. Throw it back.

First date with my DH I drove. Was he unreasonable to be in my car? No means no, no matter where you are.

mathanxiety · 08/11/2024 00:25

Hope there won't be a second date.

staceyflack · 08/11/2024 00:28

No, not victim blaming - safety advice.

Of course, no means no, first time, second time.... permanently, basic. Anything that isn't yes, is no. End of.

Are you serious?

What a stupid, victim-blaming comment.

staceyflack · 08/11/2024 00:31

Yes, I think so @HermoinePotter . Glad it worked out for you both.

JMSA · 08/11/2024 00:32

Sadly very typical of men on the dating scene these days. Extremely presumptuous.

staceyflack · 08/11/2024 00:39

I am serious @bluecampbell yes. Its called wisdom / personal safety / self protection. What would anyone with daughters advise them?

I'm sorry your date was a predatory arsehole @lullabellee . Not my intention to blame you for his shit behaviour, how disappointing and upsetting. Unfortunately a large proportion of men in my experience aren't trustworthy. Better luck next time.

Mudflaps · 08/11/2024 00:43

He shouldn't have even tried the first time, if you wanted your zip lowered you're capable of doing it yourself or asking him to, trying the second time proves he's a pushy prick who needs to left on his own. I hope your not giving him another chance.
I'd hate to be dating today (I'm 53 and married), there were some idiots out there years ago and I met a few but mostly they were polite and pretty genuine. I'm still good friends with a few ex's which is a good sign I think.

She should be able to.
Fact is that she can’t.

SpiggingBelgium · 08/11/2024 01:03

He sounds creepy. And he wants to grope you in the car, so you can add tacky onto creepy. You are right to not want him near you again!
