Red Flag Already?!?

[Lifegoeson]

Been mailing a guy on a website, we exchanged numbers and have had a couple back and forth, this morning I received a text at 6.49am asking when we were going for dinner?

AIBU to think this is waaaay to early to text, I don't even text family/friends til about 8 if I really need to.

I'm just a bit concerned it's demonstrating thoughtlessness and inconsideration already... Just cos he was up and on a plane en route to Madrid...

I wouldn't care, but that's because my mobile isn't surgically attached to me.

So what with it being downstairs and me upstairs a text at any time wouldn't matter.

Also texts don't always go straight to the person, i've seen a text i've sent arrive the day after i sent it!

So yes YABU

hardly a 'red flag'.

it's more of a red flag that you're so freaked out about it.

YABU for all the reasons gherkin gives I'm afraid - if he works shifts or something that may be the only time he can send message and texts are so not the same as ringing someone that early.

I would assume a person who was in bed asleep would have their phone turned off, so I think YABU. He probably sent it whilst he had the opportunity, expecting you'd receive it later on. Or as SpicedGerkin says, the receipt time might bear no relation to the time he actually sent it - my phone is very strange and old and it sometimes takes a day for my texts to reach people, and even longer for me to receive other people's. Tis very frustrating, but does not mean (IMO) that I am a mentalist/thoughtless arse. I would read nothing more into this than, 'he was thinking of me en route to Madrid and wanted to text while he had chance'.

Demonstrating thoughtlessness? By asking you out for dinner?!

YABU in my opinion - he probably had been up for hours if he was preparing for a flight and didnt realise how early it was.

I hadn't considered the delay, especially if he was already in Madrid, and may have been 7.49 then too, my brain doesn't function too well early doors!

Thanks for pulling me up ladies, I'll respond and let you know how said dinner goes!

Good luck, hope it goes well
