I need honest opinions

[Catlady711]

You can't be too careful with people you meet online, or anywhere else for that matter nowadays.

I think I'd have taken into account his attitude not only when he said he 'forgot' his wallet, but also his reaction when you said to reschedule and when you left. Then wait to see if he email you FIRST and what kinda explanation/tone he has on the whole event.

If he brushes it off, I'd brush him off.
If he has too complicated of an explanation I'd steer clear.
If he never responds you already have your answer.
If he is sincerely appologetic without excuses and prompt in emailing, maybe, then maybe, give him another chance, if you truely want to.

Just my suggestion, but always pay heed to your instincts, sometimes those pick up on things you just can't put a finger on and are sometimes very correct.

Good luck

He's had plenty of opportunity to email me by now and he hasn't, so I think he realizes that I'm onto him. I think I'm going to trust my instincts and, even if he should email me later, I'll tell him that I'm not interested.

They always say toi go with your gut feeling.


I'm sorry but the last thing I do BEFORE I leave the house is make sure I have my purse and I wonder where his drivers liscense was? He left home with NO ID? Yea, right!

[Grace]

I think you were very wise to go with your gut feeling.

BTW, did this guy drive to the restaurant? And was his license in his wallet - that he left at home?

This is kind of a far out idea but what if he is a wealthy but very lonely guy and he's used to women who only want to be with him for his money. And if he's been on this internet dating scene for awhile, maybe he came up with this quirky method to see which women would not want to see him if he couldn't pay. I know it's far fetched! lol
Anyway, instincts are incredible and you should trust them. I think I would have done the same things as you did. And even if the above scenerio was true, who would want to be with someone who plays games. Life's too short.

I think you did the right thing. I don't think you were too hard on him. It's not like you tore into him or made fun of him for forgetting his wallet. You just simply said you weren't comfortable with it, and that's more than most people will do anymore. I think you were honest and that's what matters the most. I honestly think if his intentions were good, he'd have emailed you and apologized. I'm sure he's embarassed, but a gentleman who'd made a mistake would certainly have written to apologize and ask for a redo.

So, he drove there without his license, insurance card and registration? That's not good

He sounds like he was full of crap. You don't go on a date and forget your wallet unless you planned on it. Normally on a 1st date you're over prepared.

You might want to give him a 2nd chance, but I doubt I would. I gave up on the 3 strikes and you're out clause a while ago.

Thank you for that. I don't feel so smart right now but I'll take the funny and beautiful part.

Mary,

I'm proud of you for going with your instincts. They will never let you down. This guys sounds like he was looking for a free meal.

I had a blind date once. He took me on a walk through 24 holes of golf cuz he was preparing for a tournament the next day. When he was done mapping out his course, we drove back to where my car was parked (at a nice restaurant). I figured he'd ask to go in for a drink (afterall I walked my ass off for this jerk). Nope. He shook my hand, said thanks and left. Never heard from him again. (Hope he lost his stinking game).

One can never be too careful.

Mary,

Yes, it's when I haven't listened to my instincts that I've regretted it. He hasn't contacted me, so he knows I'm on to him. Who knows what kind of intrigue and/or danger I may have avoided.
