Lying on the first date ?

[pumpkinpie2020]

Been talking to a guy for a while through text and today was our first date we went a walk in the park with my dog he told me he went to a pet shop today to buy my dog a toy but the shop was closed I thought that was really sweet when I told my friend she thinks he's lying because what pet shops are closed on a Tuesday ?

Lying is a red flag and if you knew for sure he was lying I'd say don't see him again.

But some places are opening and closing at random times due to Corona and mightn'tve updated it on their website.

Maybe give him another chance but keep your eye out for more potential lies. If you catch him out in one/realize it, however minor, stop seeing him.

Who knows if he is lying .... Just keep this in the back of your mind and if he keeps making up stuff then bin him quickly.

Personally the fact he went to buy your dog a treat was the weird bit. Who does that? I would bin him for that!!

I think if you do see him again you should start with "I've got bone to pick with you...!

I think you are reading too much into this tbh. He may have just been nervous and misspoke. See how things go over your next few dates, give him a chance and get to know him. Try not to let your past experiences cloud your judgement. He’s not your ex.

He's not going to start with a humdinger but he's coming across as sweet and thoughtful without putting in any effort, which is what my xh was like to reel in his victims. It would put me on red alert but I'm choosing not to date because I can't be doing with this sort of stuff

He wanted to tell you he thought of doing a nice thing, but didn't get as far as physically doing the nice thing. He's a guy that believes it's the thought that counts without having to put any active effort in. Like seeking credit for actually doing nothing. I'd be wary of this translating to other things in a general sense.

There's enough doubt to give him the benefit of here, OP. It sounds like the kind of nonsense a nervous person might spout. It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

Assume they're lying until proven otherwise.
See him again and see how it goes. Avoid sex with him.

Lots of places are shut at unusual times at the moment, even if they say they are open. Just look at the banks - our local branch’s opening hours near no resemblance to the ones published online. I actually booked a table (and received an online confirmation) at a restaurant that actually hadn’t reopened after lockdown. Why assume he’s lying?

Would put me off.. if he wanted to find a dog toy he could have got one anywhere.. tesco etc.. if he couldnt why mention it.. obviously wants the brownie points.. its a red flag.. watch out for just wanting sex imo

What the hell?

I really hope that’s not what you actually think of all men
