Hi everyone, I have a very minor issue I would be interested to get others views on as me and my friend don’t really agree on how to proceed! This is totally a first world problem and very minor so I hope I don’t offend anyone on here with actual serious issues.
I met a guy via an iPad game I’ve been playing for a while - it’s one where you’re in an alliance. Via the various Line groups for the game it came up that he lived not only in the UK as well but only 20 minutes away. He had always been a nice guy in the game and we agreed to meet at a pub between where we lived.
First time we met I got there early so I could do the Mumsnet recommended approach - see him arrive etc, not have to wander round looking for someone and all that. So i saw him arrive (seen pics of him). He was in a battered bright green Fiat which I only knew as I used to have one exactly the same (this is relevant!) Anyway - we got on brilliantly, had a great evening and I then met him there again the next week.
Roll on to last weekend and agreed to meet him again. Best friend was excited about all this and got me to agree she could come and pick me up so she could see him......so at the end of the evening we go out to the car park and I noticed his car wasn’t there and mentioned it. He responded quite oddly and was flustered just said he was getting a taxi - but was just a bit strange about it. He also said he’d book it when he knew I’d been picked up safely.
So get in car with friend and tell her and she immediately said ‘he’s married and getting picked up’. Am not proud but we agree to drive out of car park and park over the road and watch to see who comes. Instead literally 30 seconds later he comes out of the pub and walks up the road next to it and then unlocks a parked car which the doors open vertically on. Gets in and starts it with a noise like a roll of thunder and then drives off. It was dark and I’m not great with cars, but it was very low, very wide and clearly expensive.
So.....I have no idea what to think. He has been lovely online and in person, and seems really genuine......but he has obviously not been totally open.....and I don’t know why. Friend thinks I should confront him about it...I’m not sure it’s really my business.
So...what would you do and what does it mean if anything?!
Thank you if you bothered to read all that :)
