I'm multi dating. A man I'd been on several dates with seemed to be really taking me for granted. He acted like a relationship with me was a foregone conclusion and that I likely wouldn't have any options beyond him. He never initiated a "talk" about exclusivity and whatnot. He just assumed, wrongly it turns out, I was his for the taking.

Finally the talk came (initiated by me) about whether either of us are dating other people. It's only been about 5 dates. At first he sent this strange passive message that went "I am not concerned about other men. I'm sure you wouldn't do that. I don't feel a need to even discuss these things because I can tell from your behaviour that I don't have any competition. We have clicked and it's so hard to meet people these days."

He said he's not dating anyone else. I told him the truth, I'm seeing other men. He was so surprised. And now he has resorted to simply sending passive-aggressive text messages.

Overally, he is very passive and weak. Will this ever change?

Well dear one, after five dates I've prob'ly blown about $400 and 20+ hours of my precious time on you. Seems to me that you're just using him for some good meals and decent wine.

Do him a favor and drop him.

Precious.

I don't drink and we've not been going out for dinner. We meet for coffee or go for walks. He's spent in total maybe $10 on me. But then I've spent around $10 on him. I also pay for my own meals in life.

That's not dating. You guys are merely acquaintances. By the fifth "date", I know what you look like on the inside.

I don't click on links. And I'm hardly one to be categorized as one of "those." Whatever that is...


There are men in the world with conviction. Many more that are sycophants and will "toe your line" all day long. This guy that you're talking about is NOT a wimp. He's just telling you what he wants. Do you want a guy that'll cater to your every whim? Or a man that takes charge?

Your choice, babe.

It sounds like you've already made up your mind OP. I don't see things going any further with someone you've already decided is "weak". That's certainly not a word i'ld use to describe someone I'm enamoured with!

I didn't post any link. Anyhow, I'd love a man that takes charge. This man does the exact opposite. Which is why I'm going to drop him now.

Arnold says: "Get rid of him, he must be a girly man". Is he some sort of a Suzy Creamcheese?
