Online date seems weird

I had a date with a guy last weekend. We had been talking online for a few months. When I arrived I was shocked as he had bought me a bouquet of flowers. I understand he was trying to make a good impression but I felt it signalled he was needy and desperate as I had not met him before or done anything to deserve them.

At the end of the date he asked when our second date was and I could tell he wanted a kiss. I don't kiss people on a first date as I need to get to know someone properly. As I felt pressurised about a second date I said lets see how it goes with no pressure and we can message. I didn't like being put on the spot for a decision as I like to process my thoughts.

He messaged the next day and then he ignored my 2 messages for 4 days saying he had been 'busy'. Whereas before he messaged me daily. His messages are short and not as friendly.

Am I best to knock this one on the head? I don't like the thought of rushing into a relationship with a stranger I might not be compatible with and who is now playing mind games with the I'm busy just because I wouldn't give in for a second date straight away.

He assumed that because you had been 'talking' for 'months' that the relationship was more than it was.

Keep your talking to arranging dates and you will weed out both the weirdos and the hook ups
