What would you reply back to this?!

[Tashhha]

I was messaging a guy I am seeing (early days) met on online dating and I said I’m just about to get a bath. His reply was ‘’wish I could be your little rubber ducky right now’’ With wink emoji. How would you respond ?!

I'm an adult. Adults have sex. You usually date with the idea that you'll eventually have sex. Having a bath shouldn't be such a rare occasion that it needs announcing. He's taken your cue the wrong way. I wouldn't want the polite, sexless men described on here. You do you. I'd probably joke back that I'd be keeping my clothes on in that case.

Not too little I hope!

I would think he was being flirty. If I liked that, I’d response in kind. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t. What’s to understand?

🙄🙄

Me too

Why would you even tell him you're having a bath?

Go on, take a wild stab at it

My response would be 🤮 then to block. That kind of talk makes me cringe and has former Prince Charles' tampon scandal vibes.

Eh? A minute ago you suggested it was completely innocent 🤣

💯 Yes!!!!

I’d reply “Ok Bert”.

If it nauseates you (and it would certainly do that to me), then that's how you feel. Nothing wrong with being thoroughly put off by such babyish phrasing.

Someone I know once dumped a girl because, in the pub, she suddenly put on a squeaky voice and whimpered "Cold! Cold! Snuggles?" at him.

Yes, absolutely! You'd say "I'm getting into the bath" because you were... getting into the bath!

I wouldn't even think not to say it, just in case it rendered a man helplessly ick.

Ask him if it squeaks when you squeeze it

😂

At least he didn’t say ‘wish I could be your ickle wubber ducky…’

some options for you -

Cheesy/flirty - ‘I’d rather you be my boat so I can climb aboard’

Scary - ‘I’ll be a ducky too so we can mate for life’

Disgusting - ‘careful you might catch something swimming in there’

seriously though I’d probably just put a laughing emoji and hope it was a joke and not serious flirting

It's a bit cringe, but it's not that bad (IMO). If your communication up until now hasn't been at all flirty, then I'd say he was testing the waters (no pun intended) and, personally, I wouldn't have mentioned the bath to him at all (unless you wanted a reaction?). If he's made you feel uncomfortable, then I wouldn't take it further.

How would you respond?! Need more context

Jeez - you've seen him a few times, you're telling him you're getting into the bath - presumably naked - he's just make (not very good) joke/call/trying to be a bit flirty - don't give him hard time

Quack quack? 😂😂😂

Text him, " My rubber ducky just said yucky" then block

He wants to flirt and flirt sexually with you. If you want to flirt / sext, go for it. If you don’t, either ghost, make a joke of it, or continue talking and avoid the suggestion

If you have been intimate with him and it was nice, it's just a cosy thing to say. if you haven't yet done the deed, he is being presumptious and I'd ignore, or give him a miss. Only you know, you say it's early days and you've been 'seeing' him but some people seem to think face-timing is 'seeing'.

Does nobody just meet people nowadays without the internet? It all seems so dodgy and dangerous to me.

I think he’s assumed you’re up for flirting a bit more as he knows you’re about to get naked and into a bath.

If you want to reply then reply, you can make a joke out of it, you can send laughing faces or you can say far too soon for that and then change the subject:
It’s a little cringey but his mind has jumped to you being naked and he’s tried risking it to see what you say.

I’d pull the plug on him and his rubber ducky.

Do people refer to sex as "nice?" 😂
How utterly British. 😁
