Introducing me as his girlfriend after one date

24 replies

BatmansWilly · 13/03/2009 11:19

I went on a date with a man last week and to be honest it didn't go too well. He was nice enough but there was just no attraction there.

Unfortunately I had a very low point the other night and stupidly decided to just give him another go. So today, he was just on his way to asda and asked if I would like to go with him for the ride (was going past my house).

I said yes.

So we gets to asda and he saw someone he knew and introduced me as his girlfriend! and then started shouting nervously about how embarrassed he was etc (surely nothing to how I felt at the whole commotion, people were staring). Then he gets all giddy and starts picking stuff up saying things like "Oh, chocolate nuts, bet you want some ... oh, easter eggs, bet your having chocolate cravings??" but he was shouting it really loud (all because I mentioned I liked chocolate).

He then dragged me around a sports shop looking for tracksuit bottoms for his daughter before saying that was wanted playboy but he wouldn't allow it ... he then started saying quite loudly "of course, me and you know what playboy is ... she doesn't" and I saw a bloke walk past and start sniggering to his girlfriend.

Apart from the fact that "i'm just not that into him" anyway ... would it annoy you to be introduced as a girlfriend after ONE meeting??

Don't let it bother you as you aren't going to see him again.

BatmansWilly · 13/03/2009 11:22

No I know. I just wonder if its the done thing to refer to someone as your girlfriend after one meet. Talk about pushy!

I feel like a commitment-phobic bloke

Run for the hills.

spicemonster · 13/03/2009 11:24

It wouldn't annoy me so much as freak me out entirely. Run away very fast!!

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/03/2009 11:24

Oh dear. He is very strange. Run, run for your life!

nickytwotimes · 13/03/2009 11:25

He sounds a bit of a loon.
DO NOT see him again!

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/03/2009 11:26

What's with the nervous shouting? Didn't you get a fit of the giggles?

Actually i would have probably been mortified. Fraek

TheBFG · 13/03/2009 11:31

Run fast, run far.

BatmansWilly · 13/03/2009 11:32

put the psycho down and back away from the psycho.

traceybath · 13/03/2009 11:39

sorry just giggling at him taking you to asda for a ride

obviously he's a loon

nickytwotimes · 13/03/2009 11:42

It was worth it though, Batman. It's a funny tale!

BatmansWilly · 13/03/2009 11:46

haha it all adds up to experience I suppose!

I would have asked security to take him away run for it.

solidgoldbrass · 13/03/2009 11:48

PMSL. Bet his mummy still buys his pants. Never mind - you have a great story to air the next time you're out with your mates and the subject turns to Dating Hell.

PuppyMonkey · 13/03/2009 11:51

I'm going to go against the grain here and put it all down to nerves on his part...maybe?

Is he fit?

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/03/2009 11:53

Lol puppymonkey. So it's OK to put up with the madness if he is good looking?

He would have to be Daniel Craig for me to put up with nervous shouting and Asda dates.

BatmansWilly · 13/03/2009 11:53

No, not really puppymonkey The only positives are that we have loads in common as far as interests go!

(love the red nose smilies!)

PuppyMonkey · 13/03/2009 11:55

Yes, Daniel Craig shouting about chocolate sounds a very different scenario!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 13/03/2009 12:38

ROFL here

Fleurlechaunte · 13/03/2009 13:13

I had someone I met for a drink introduce me as "the girl I am seeing" to all his work colleagues - yes he brought them along too . I didn't even finish the date. I rushed back to another pub where my sister and friends were to tell them about this loon. He followed me there alone and stared sadly down the bar at me for the rest of the evening.

He sounds somewhat inexperienced Batman.

I'd be weirded out by the fact that he just 'happened' to pass your house. Don't buy that for a second. Seems a bit stalker-ish after only ONE date!

And the 'girlfriend' thing...completely inappropriate.

I've been out with guys like this and they get very weird very quickly. Tell him in no uncertain terms that you aren't interested in seeing him again, and run away!

Doha · 13/03/2009 21:29

Hope you bought some running shoes at the sports shop and start using them now

RUN

knockedgymnast · 13/03/2009 22:03

I'd be more worried about the strange ramblings rather than being introduced as his 'girlfriend'. He obviously doesn't know how to act in public.

Perhaps he was nervous?
Perhaps he was showing off?
Perhaps he lacks self-confidence?
Perhaps he is manic?

Perhaps you should run a blurdy mile!!
