Would you date this guy?

[avocadosrus]

So I've been chatting to guy that I matched with online for the last week or so via WhatsApp, we have arranged to meet this weekend for a drink.
Earlier this evening whilst discussing where to meet he said to me "where do you normally take your clients"?
I was 😳 and told him to f*ck off, he thought I was joking but quickly realised that I was less than impressed with what he'd said.
He apologised lots said he didn't engage his brain & I said I'd speak to him later.
He carried on messaging & apologising, I eventually replied & said that whilst I accepted that he may not have meant it, the fact that he said it alarms me & makes me think twice about meeting him. Wise mumsnetters what are your thoughts??

? My assumption would be he'd had experience with escorts before I'm afraid....

OMG... @avocadosrus If that's the case and is what you're intuition is telling you then fucking swerve this one... big time!!!!

I might be clueless at dating haha hence the username but I'd be running for the hills seriously if someone implied I was "dating too much". (And I was single). Jog on mate!!!!

His choice of words seem not only disrespectful to you but maybe has a low opinion of women generally. I'd pass on this one. Listen to the fact you're doubtful of him.

Why would a sex worker even take her clients out to a bar?

This would turn me right off, what a prick.

@Absolutelycluelessdater I think I'm giving up, it's too much trouble! I've had 2 dates in 1 month!
I need to swerve this guy!

In that case, block him. If he thinks that sort of comment is witty banter it shows him to be a sexist pig in my opinion,

Fuck to the nope! Block and move on,

Definite nope.

It doesn't make me think he's met escorts (i mean maybe he has but I wouldnt assume that at all). He was making a bad joke. It's pretty cringe, though. It would give me the ick to be honest. Okay misplaced banter if you're only going in for a FWB/casual relationship and he's trying to (clumsily) joke about the arrangement. Not really appropriate whatsoever for actual relationship or dating

I'm surprised you have to ask! Nasty, misogynistic 'joke' and he's making it before you have even met!!

@Dirtybadger neither of us looking for a ons/Fwb arrangement (well he says he isn't but who knows!) Saturday was most definitely just a drink!

@NotANotMan I know, I did know what the response would be I guess I just wanted that reassurance that I didn't overreact! I didn't!

Ok avo, you sound like you know what your doing. As others said go with your gut. But yuk!

Ugh, tosser. Not funny. As you say it reflects his opinion of women.

Block.

Missing the point of the thread, but how do you match on whatsapp for dating? I thought it was used with people you know.

Nope run a mile!

@DianaT1969 I matched with him online & we've been talking via WhatsApp

Nah. It’d be a waste of your time. You’ve scratched the surface...heck of a lot more of this misogyny to come.

And this was him trying to impress you?

Nah. Move on.

He can just take a mahussive step to the left to the left. What a pr**k!
My response would have been
"I usually take them to the forest near my house so we can do the first part of the cleansing ritual with some white sage, it's more potent. If they're able to keep the entire ayahuasca mixture down through the night then i like to let them decide. But only if i can bring Salem of course". I'm sure he'd feel a bit uneasy after that and reschedule to NEVER reschedule

Just messaged him and told him that I won't be meeting him, didn't wait for a reply just blocked him!!
