Author Val230 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 That's even worse. It's borderline catfish/scammer rhetoric. I seriously doubt he even lives in the country--you can use google to manufacture a local telephone number to hide where you're really at. That’s exactly what I was kinda thinking. It is possible that he’s a catfish. So after I was thinking about it I took his number and looked it up on Facebook. (I watch catfish the tv show often so that’s where i learned that from) and his Facebook page came up and in his bio it shows that he wasn’t lying about where he lives. But even if he’s who he says he is, it still doesn’t justify his behavior. I’m still shocked he asked me for $20! Like wow.. 1
CptInsano Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 I've never heard about gas money, but I heard about a guy who couldn't afford his own food, didn't order any, and then tried to eat her food during dinner. P.S.: Maybe I've been too accommodating all these years. 5
d0nnivain Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 I don't think he's a catfish. I do think he's looking for easy sex & doesn't even want to spend the gas money to come get it. There is no good reason to see him. If you don't have the heart to just dump him, say something like "he can call you again when he has gas money & is ready to plan an actual date because you have no interest in 'jus chilling'." I promise you will never hear from him again. 6
preraph Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Remember that guys are on the BEST behavior at the very beginning of dating. So this is his BEST behavior. Run, run, run. 9
Purepony Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 I haven’t met him in person yet. All our convos have been on the phone. It actually sounds like you’re interested or making excuses for him. if you want to give them the money go ahead just make sure you update us and how It goes after I’m pretty sure you’ll regret it 1
Author Val230 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) It actually sounds like you’re interested or making excuses for him. if you want to give them the money go ahead just make sure you update us and how It goes after I’m pretty sure you’ll regret it It may seem like that, but I’m really not. My standards aren’t that low... I’m just explaining what happened. There’s no way I would ever give someone gas money to take me on a date. If I went on the date with him under those circumstances, I don’t think I’d have a shred of my dignity left. I’m not that easily fooled lol. Edited February 12, 2018 by Val230 6
Jethro Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Sounds like this guy should concentrate on his finances rather than trying to date. Cart before the horse. 4
Scarlett.O'hara Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 why cancel? Basically, because it sets a really bad precedent. It would be one thing to ask if it was ok to split the bill or meet each other for the date, but to outright ask for money is entitled and untrustworthy behavior in a man or woman, which tells you a lot about their character. It may seem like that, but I’m really not. My standards aren’t that low... I’m just explaining what happened. There’s no way I would ever give someone gas money to take me on a date. If I went on the date with him under those circumstances, I don’t think I’d have a shred of my dignity left. I’m not that easily fooled lol. I'm glad to hear you say that. How did you respond to him when he asked? 1
joseb Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I've never heard about gas money, but I heard about a guy who couldn't afford his own food, didn't order any, and then tried to eat her food during dinner. Brilliant! 2
joseb Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 So OP, how were you going to get the $20 to him to put gas in his car? Something about all this is...off... 1
clueless_4ever Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 You're right... It is really weird to ask for money on a first date. I can understand if you guys were already a few dates in... but no this is a red flag. It will only get worse after if you do give the $20.
Purrrfect Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I hope you didn’t meet this guy. I would never waste another minute on a guy that flat broke or who asked me for money. If you met him online that explains it. 1
NopeNah Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 You're right... It is really weird to ask for money on a first date. I can understand if you guys were already a few dates in... but no this is a red flag. It will only get worse after if you do give the $20. It's freaking insane to ask a date for/to borrow money at all! Kudos to this guy! He made my morning by asking for $20 for gas money and if I knew where to send him $20 I would..well and the post about a guy eating his dates food! I'd buy him a burger There's some weird ass people out there! 2
Lorenza Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 So OP, how were you going to get the $20 to him to put gas in his car? Something about all this is...off... What about quick money transfer apps?
lurker74 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I've got some great advice for you...buuut..m y. keyb oard. is act iing funnie. Can I borrow $40 for a new one? 3
smackie9 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Like I always say, first impressions count! This guy has some nerve if he can't afford to take someone on a date. Block/delete. 1
