Too hasty?

I need a sanity check as I am losing the will to live with OLD.
I've met a guy recently on Hinge, we met up on a date, definitely had chemistry and we've been texting a few times since, him always initiating contact.
Then yesterday when we spoke about meeting up, bear in mind this is off the back of a message where he told me he 'can't stop thinking about me at work' I thought sod it, let's just cut to the chase and sort out a second date. So I asked him if he was free, and then he proceeded to tell me 'this weekend I'm meant to be being really productive and doing stuff at home, and you're distracting me' I wasn't sure how to interpret this and think he was trying to be funny, but I mean honestly, your whole weekend you can't find time to meet up with me briefly, even though you are texting me showing me your interested? I just responded to say, let's leave it, and he was quite shocked.
I am just so despairing of these men, if it's not immediate sex chat, it's guys being passive aggressive, or like pulling teeth talking to them.
I also met a narc who I was speaking to for a month who has now ghosted me so I am quite fed up generally and think I will give it a break.
Do you think I've overreacted here? I am really trying to stick to my boundaries, and I am not chopped liver, this guy would be lucky to go out on another date with me!!

I’ve already shared my views on this, so won’t do it again. You didn’t come here to be badgered.

However, I just want to say that you’re not degrading yourself. There is absolutely nothing wrong with just wanting to have sex!

Also, you’re genuinely one of the most emotionally honest and open posters I’ve ever come across. I assume that you’re also like that in real life and it’s a lovely trait to have. So, some positive feedback on that score, at least. 🙂

Thank you @LusaBatoosa, that actually really means a lot, I appreciate it 🙏

I would have done the same OP...

Don't bother telling me you can't stop thinking about me and then decline the opportunity to spend even an hour over coffee with me because you're cleaning and organising your house. Fuck that

Agreed with this I mean! I bet you are lovely in real life.

Seriously, what 30 year old man goes on Hinge, presumably hoping to meet someone to date or have sex with, meets someone and then suddenly declares he is prioritising the weekend to declutter and go to the tip Hmm ... I can understand that a bit more if you meet via Classic FM dating or Telegraph soul mates (or Saga dating .. if that exists) but really ... show me a 30 year old man (or woman) who spends their weekends cleaning and tidying ... accept it OP, he's not that interested.

Musntapplecrumble · 05/01/2024 18:07

So what did he say when you said leave it, how was he shocked...? He could be dodgy or it could have been him trying to be Mr Cool 😎 (and massively failing)...

How was it decided that it was FWB? Is this how you are seeing it or was there an agreement?
