Was meant to have a first date today with a guy -been texting back and forth and seemed nice but haven't t spoken

Woke up to a text this morning after id suggested a late lunch

He said hopes he isn't pushing his luck but if we hit it off he was thinking he would stay over , turn it into supper and have a few drinks then stay over

He's expecting sex on date 1 isn't he ?

I dont want to take a stranger to my house .

I've made an excuse and turned my phone on silent

I've got the ick .

I swear I think some of these men just live in caves and rub their sticks all day.

Always so fucking entitled when you block them and they find another way to contact you too. Creeps.

Yes! What is it about trying to track you down on every messaging app?

You go from not interested to not interested, plus thinking he's a creepy stalker.

They’re so stupid
this shit works with no one

apart from my ex who I shagged on the second date 🙄

but it baffles me
and they all do it

who does fuck them ??

Yes, it's not just crass and demeaning, it's just so so stupid and counterproductive. If he wants to get laid, then he's going about it in the worst possible way!

If he had any sense, if hooking up for sex was his game plan, he'd have come for lunch and tried to engineer a sexual encounter (quite apart from that being inappropriate for a first date from OLD).

Either that or he's just plain lazy, and needs to know he's "on a promise" before he'll leave the house!

Tuilpmouse · 25/03/2023 12:53

I got a message with this emoji 😜 asking if he could get up my Wizards sleeve.

Wizards sleeve?! 😂 That's a new one. How old is he? 14?

No shit, Sherlock!

He just pushed his luck off the top floor of the skyscraper where you were never going to meet him.

Pinkbonbon · 25/03/2023 12:56

It's as if they've never talked to another human before.

OH wait, I forgot, women aren't people 🙄

Yeah he definitely was t joking.

He lives less than an hour away .

I'd suggested a day meet up for
Coffee or late lunch

He was keen to come here - I was happy to wait as he had suggested an exhibition where he lives and I'd agreed to that as a first date
He then said he didn't want to wait and he would visit me

The conversation by text hadn't been sexualised or anything so I thought things were maybe goi g in the right direction and then - out the blue he says if we hit it off I'm thinking of staying over at yours (if your dog wouldn't eat me ) and turning late lunch into early supper

Was he fuck joking .
I've gone back to bed !

Show quote history

This. I guess it’s a good thing his true colours have come out straight away. But it’s shocking how thick he must be to not have any game plan, or even a bit of common sense, and at least wait until the actual date to judge his chances of anything like that happening instead of immediately putting a woman off before they’ve even met 😂

DoTrollsShitOnTheThreads · 25/03/2023 13:03

This sounds terrifying to me. At least you realised what he's like before he moved himself in turned up .

Oops, that came out bigger than I expected.

Ooooh Matron!!

Where do all these men get the idea that, because they are desperate for a shag, that all unattached women feel the same, and will literally jump at the chance to impale themselves on the first available dick?

You mean she was a beauty queen? That makes me cringe and I know what I'm talking about as I entered beauty contests until I was 22. I'm ashamed of myself for being shallow. It was rammed with chancers trying to get inside your bikini.

Wasn't there a famous actor who asked evry women he met to sleep with him, and said he got his face slapped a lot of times but he also got to sleep with a lot of women?

It's a numbers game, OP. Enough women will say yes to him to make it worth the knock backs.

Dery · 25/03/2023 13:26

@AnyaMarx - I think your reply was perfect. Not just a massive CF but also showing a total lack of awareness of the measures women have to take to keep themselves safe in this world. Because he can be pretty sure you won’t try to kill him but that certainty doesn’t go both ways.

Clarefromwork · 25/03/2023 13:26

You made the right call.

Treat yourself to your favourite take away tonight !

VivX · 25/03/2023 13:30

On the positive side, just think of the time he has saved you by making it clear to you that he's a creep without you having to actually meet him.

Zanatdy · 25/03/2023 13:32

Wow, definitely not. The guy I’m seeing it was date 3 when I went to his house and even then he said I could have one of the kids beds if I didn’t want to sleep with him! Of course I did, but it was 5wks from date one and I knew him already (ex colleague). Date 1, not a chance

I think you hit the nail on the head with how they don't see us as actual human beings with thoughts and feelings. It's worse with OLD. As they have no existing connection, we're just potential wank socks.

KeithBurtons · 25/03/2023 13:32

Oh good lord. I was tentatively thinking about venturing into OLD after being very happily single for years. I think I’ll give it a miss 😂

Glad you backed out @AnyaMarx. Yuk.

GreyCarpet · 25/03/2023 13:36

God they're awful aren't they?

A few years ago I bumped into an ex colleague and his wife and kids in the park one day.

We had a quick catch up but there was so much to say (he and I had been work friends and we'd both left for similar reasons). He suggested we meet up for a coffee to carry on the conversation. I agreed. All this was done in front of his wife. Who was lovely and had no problem with it.

We arranged to meet for coffee the following week. He messaged me the night before asking if we could meet in a hotel instead. We could book a room and chat there...

My face was 😵

I didn't reply and just blocked him immediately.

2 years later, another ex colleague forwarded a link to a local newspaper to me. He'd been sent down for 2 and a half years for sexual offences.

Your message was fine but never apologise for cutting off these men.

It's not fair that they have so much confidence, and we worry about every imperfection. I mean, male genitalia is pretty damn ugly. It's just dangly bits dangling around. If you look at it objectively in the cold light of day, it's not attractive.

When we feel an emotional connection, when we're turned on... then all of a sudden a naked man looks really good. But if a man bypasses that stage where he makes us feel special, where he makes us feel seen... then we don't feel like we want to jump him, we just feel the ick. Why is it so hard for them to understand that we want them to give the tiniest damn about who we are as humans as well as objections of attraction?

It's why dick pics generally don't work. They only look good to us when we're in the mood, so a man randomly sends them to us, chances are, he's not going to catch us at the right moment, and they're not going to make us desperately want him.

It doesn't even take much to build a connection. But they don't try. They just expect us to worship their penises.

stinkfaceison · 25/03/2023 13:46

You should have called him out OP . Men like him need to learn . Or he was married / coupled up and in town for work . It would have been win win some sex and free board and lodging .

Sassyfox · 25/03/2023 13:46

He'd suggested we live like it's out last night due to this asteroid.....

🤢🤢

There’s nothing more revolting than when someone is this desperate for sex.

You’ve dodged a bullet here OP.
