Quick question re. man I met online

Hi all,
I’ve been on a few dates with a guy who seemed lovely & then I noticed a few things that I thought are red flags and I just need some advice from you lovely people.

Firstly, & I know I should not have done this but I arranged the first three dates and on the fourth asked him to book a restaurant - I meant book it, that’s all as I had tickets for a concert that I was given by a friend and he bounced this back to me with the following “I thought being a regular London diner that you would have more knowledgeable places at hand”, followed by sending through a venue MILES away from the concert. Followed by a “we don’t have to have dinner before the concert”; so I uninvited him (nicely) and this was followed by a huge “we need to meet as I owe it to you to explain my behaviour”; I couldn’t meet him that week due to a combination of family stuff, feeling ill and dealing with a death of one of the team at work. This week I’m on holiday and I had a look on the app on which we’d met and discovered he’d removed me, when I asked why I was told “ I’ve cleared everything from the app. I don’t want a reason to go on the app, the only reason to go onto the app is to read your profile but if I can met you in be flesh then why would I want to stay on the app to read a cyber profile. But in hindsight maybe I shouldn’t have done so since we don’t see each other these days.” Had he behaved the other Saturday when we were meant to go to the concert we would have met up, but we didn’t.

Tell me, after meeting three times is this worth it?

Well he sounds like a lazy bastard then.

Another good reason to ditch.

Still don't get the creepy / red flag stuff though.

@Divebar: no no, I just said, as he’d suggested going for dinner first that could he help me out and book somewhere - all very nice I assure you

Ha ha. For a minute there it sounded like Miss Trunchball or something Grin. I think we lost something of the tone. Well, look at it this way... if he’s an arse it’s better to find out early.

@Divebar: yes, apologies for lack of clarity. Funny you mention Miss T; said man is a teacher (I am not) & I can’t help but feel he thought he was talking to one of his year 10’s when he said he wouldn’t help me. Thank you for taking time to reply, all of you.

I get you OP and no don’t meet him for him to explain stuff. You did the heavy lifting for the first 3 dates, it was his turn to put in some thought, he failed. It’s not hard to search for London restaurants!

@HelloYouTwo: thank you - really appreciate it. That’s what I was getting at. After all, we are all busy and have things to do, it’s a question of priorities...

You both sound like hard work.
