new guy asked me out but not sure about him

[loganberry12]

My daughters ex bf dad has asked me out i like him but have heard heis ex girlfriend split up with him because he was violent to her. Don't know if its true so not sure if to go on a date or not.

Is there anyway you can find out a bit more information?

One it's a bit messy surely? Your dds exs dad.

I know sometimes things can circulate and be false. But I'd be digging deeper to get to the truth before committing. Why risk it?

I wouldn't even bother and avoid. But if you don't at least do some digging.

Regardless of what you have heard, dating your dd ex's dad is a bit hmmm to be honest. I wouldnt get involved, might it prove awkward for your dd? what does she think?

My DD is not keen she don't like him much. Yes i think I'll pass on that date but not sure how to get out of it. He text me this morning how do i answer ?

"Thanks for the offer but I'm not dating at the moment!"

or something similair?

"Sorry, on reflection not a good idea. Appreciate the thought though. Take care XX"

You're turning down a date, you don't owe him anything. Agree with Guiltypleasures, if there's an issue already with your DD where's it ever going to go anyway?

I have text him declined politely lol

Well if he is rude or obnoxious or pushy after your polite refusal, you will know how right you were to refuse...

He replied with - lol i was only joking by the way, don't think im ready for that yet.
Now im embarrassed in case he was joking although he probably said that cos i turned him down.

He said that because you turned him down. Now forget him and go find someone else!

What a knob! See, you were quite right to decline, now put him out of your mind.

He just text back - i did mean it actually so if you change your mind you know where i am - then asked me what i was doing.

men, so bloody indecisive, lol

I think your initial reluctance was well-founded, judging by his subsequent texting

next !

Ignore him.

Yep, you have doubts. DD dislikes him. That's two lots of womanly instinct right there. Plus, he handles rejection badly. Avoid. You don't have to date every wazzock that asks; hold out for quality :)

Why do I have the feeling that you're going to engage in text conversations with him and end up going on a date with this 'wazzock'? (good choice, garlic )

Izzy i will not be going on a date with him as garlic says I'll hold out for quality.

Hurrah for commonsense!

Well done. Best not to get involved with another twunt
