Red Flags?

I have started to date someone - it has been about 2 months. Started off OK - met for some drinks (although he does not drink) went for drives/walks. He always seems busy on a Saturday night or if I text him on a Saturday night he will reply on Sunday that he had 'nodded off'
He still lives at home (40 years old?)
I have my own house amd live with my teenage daughter.
When we make arrangements he sends a text saying he will be late as he has 'nodded off' which I find offensive if he knew we had an arrangement to meet.
We now only seem to go for a 'drive' and last night it was obvious that he only wanted one thing. It made me feel cheap and I just froze. Then I felt I was not normal - if we are both attracted to each other I should have not reacted like that. I am not materialistic and do not expect to be wined and dined but today I just feel confused. I have had some really bad relationships in the past where I was cheated on and just used for sex. He probably thinks I am frigid and a prude.

He sounds a complete waste of space. Dump him and enjoy looking for someone you can have a meaning relationship with, you aren’t compatible with this creep

Meaningful

Op i dont know you but jeeesus. You deserve better. A half assed drive to have a shag. Falling asleep rather than going out. There are nicer, more interesting and demonstrative men out there. Go get one x

I live in the East Midlands - not the same guy?
so sorry you found out your ex had a live in partner - that is awful - why do that - so deceitful. Makes me feel like doing some detective work! I mentioned that I went for a drive with my daughter through the village where he lives and I am sure he flinched and looked worried - or may be I am over thinking this!
