2 wrongs don't make a right. Is rudeness just this much a part of all people these days?!
I agree. I wouldn't do that. If the situation was in reverse, no matter how weird he was, I wouldn't want to be used.

What reeled you in in the first place? Was it looks? I doubt that, if he was lacking in that department, you would have given him the benefit of the doubt.
I'm just honestly trying to make friends!
It's apparently hard to do when you're a grown up and especially with the opposite sex.
He said he was doing the same. But telling me that and then asking if I wanted to get married just don't add up. I don't know what his intentions are with his mixed words. I'd prefer not to find out and just avoid whatever would come about.
He must be a new stockbroker. First thing to remember, is that when a stockbroker says he does million dollar deals, is that none of it is his money. I've done million dollar deals too and none of it is my money. At first (say the first 3 months), it sounded impressive, but after a while, it's nothing. As far as people know, I could be doing trades for $100's or $1,000's when I tell them what I do. So, if you want to date a stockbroker, look for one who is confident and doesn't try to impress others with $$$.

"you know, I've thought about it...and I'm really not interested in dating a stockbroker, but thank you for the invite anyway"
What a weirdo. LOL[/quote
Emphasis needs to be placed on "stockbroker" when you actually say this to him. Tell him that you fell for his brokerage's office copy-coffee lackey instead.
As Dan Savage (the sex/relationship advice columnist) says, "DTMFA" -- dump the mf already. I can't tolerate arrogance, and clearly this guy is all about him. Imagine what the lunch conversation would be like. He's give you a sneak preview, there's no need to go for the full feature, is there? Back out. Don't worry about seeming rude or awkward or inappropriate about backing out. This guy isn't worth worrying about. Some people are best avoided. Keep him at a distance at work, too, if possible. If he continues to harass you, report it to Human Resources.

This is not a normal person. It's not normal to ask personal questions of you, like do you want to get married. People like this are best avoided. ALWAYS go with your gut feeling. If a friend said, "One lunch/conversation/dinner/coffee can't do any harm", RUN! I've made the mistake of listening to well-meaning friends, against my better judgment. Trust me, you don't want to make that mistake.
I just hope he doesn't get resentful at being rejected, and then try to take it out on you at work. Some people are like that. This guy seems to think very highly of himself (whether warranted or not), so resentment and weirdness could happen. Just keep an eye on things. Let us know how the aftermath goes. Take care.

Honestly if you're nice looking most men don't want to "just be friends".
