Should I go on this date?

First foray back into online dating. Nice chat with guy, arranged a date for Thurs and spoke on the phone on Tuesday. I didn't message him on Wednesday (busy and didn't think to!). Messaged today to check we were still on for tonight. He messaged back 'sure thing, thought you'd gone off the idea. I don't hear much from you tbh. '
It just feels a bit needy so early on. Hes agreed to meet, but the tone has put me off. I don't want to feel like I have to constantly message someone I hardly know.

I don't get it really. People are weird. No I wouldn't show up for someone like that.

I think the ridicule about another woman's size would have put me off, op.

I went on a couple of dates with a guy, and on the last date, he was talking about his sister and mentioned that "she has nothing about her, she's as thick as fuck" Shock Turns out when I probed further, she has a form of cerebral palsy Sad

Needless to say, we will not be meeting again Angry

Yeah that's grim. I think maybe I made a mistake wanting to go back online.

No I wouldn't have liked that Lisa Riley comment either. I always avoid men whose dating profiles put down other women. I have seen lots where they mention weight or old photos. Like they're gods gift or something themselves.

Farontothemaddingcrowd · 26/10/2017 16:39

The whole thing is grim. I have another date tonight that I can go on if I muster up the energy.

Some guy I met at a single parents group a has randomly sent me a picture of himself. He's dressed up for world war 2 day at school as Hitler ShockConfused. The world is bonkers. I may get myself to a nunnery, as Hamlet said to Ophelia.

Does anyone else wish it was the 1950s and you could meet your husband at a dance?

You had 2 dates lined up for tonight?

Farontothemaddingcrowd · 26/10/2017 17:31

No I'd been asked on another date and I said I had plans already. He's still free, so I'm going to meet him instead.

Go! Even if he's a weirdo you'll be so glad you got the first date out of the way.

appella · 26/10/2017 17:40

Sorry just saw you didn't go!! Find someone nicer but jump right in Wink

Cricrichan · 26/10/2017 21:53

That'd be a red flag for me. Even if he'd wished to speak or gearfron you, it seems a bit needy to say it or passive aggressive.

Farontothemaddingcrowd · 26/10/2017 21:59

On a date with someone else now. It's going well!

Glad it's going well. That guy sounded weird and I would have definitely been put off! I hate online dating argh

AlternativeTentacle · 26/10/2017 22:02

not with the hitler guy i hope?

May50 · 26/10/2017 22:07

Have a good evening. Hope it goes well. I don't think I can face online dating, all seems a bit much to me (I'll have to stay single!)

seven201 · 26/10/2017 22:44

First thing would make me go a bit Hmm but I’d let it go and go on the date. But... the fat comment. Hell no. Tosser. Do not waste your time and tell him you’re not going because of his remark about weight.

Farontothemaddingcrowd · 26/10/2017 22:56

Oh god no, the Hitler guy is not getting a date!!
He was a lovely guy. V respectful and didn't put other women down. Second date set for Sunday.
