If a guy offers to pick you up for a date

If a guy offers to pick you up for a dinner date, and you say yes, does that mean sex is on the cards?

and if you say no to the lift, does that mean you’re ruling out sex on that occasion?

This was his view: that if a woman says yes to him offering to pick her up for dinner (he was talking about the first few dates) then he felt she was implying that she’s open to having sex after dinner. And if she said no, he felt she was ruling out sex that night

WTF?! Does he think that’s how taxi drivers take payment too? Women just hand out sex for lifts? What a creepy weirdo!

He sounds predatory. If you did not invite his comments you can report him. Eg. Tinder has guidelines about this:

"Harassment

Do not engage...in any harassment against any other user. This includes sending any unsolicited sexual content to your matches."

You don't need to put up with uninvited sexual comments on a dating app or on a date for that matter. It's covered by Human Rights Laws.

Well he's completely wrong @Iwritethissittinginthekitchensink and creepy.

Obviously once you get to know a person (don't do it for several months) you can let them know where you live. There are some dodgy men around so don't let them know straight away as they could get stalkery/nasty.

Then a gentleman will come and pick you up for a date maybe, after a while and when you've told him your address. I'd see it as an expectation that a man will be chivalrous, not the opposite like him.

He's just weird!

There is no code. He made that up (or believed some nonsense that someone else has told him).

His comments about you needing good sex are offensive, immature, arrogant, presumptious. At least he's let you know what he's like from the off, and you don't have to see him ever again!

I wouldn’t accept a lift from someone I didn’t know well. Not because of what it might or might not signify; just for safety.

But no, generally speaking, accepting a lift from someone does not mean that you’ve given consent to sex.

Agree with this, I personally wouldn’t accept a lift with someone until I felt I knew them well enough

Hahahahaha

I remember being set up for a blind date when I was really young and it turned out to be some sleazy budget Hugh Hefner lookalike. His head reminded me of a wrinkly bald turtle. He was revolting but at the same time, I was fascianted, similar to watching those pimple popping videos... 😆
