Let's say you are on a second date. Your date drinks too much wine, and says he's too drunk to drive home, so he wants to stay at your place.

Do you feel bad for him and allow it, even though you would not otherwise invite him up on the second date? Or do you say, too bad, it was your choice to drink so much?

You drive him home or call a cab for him. You don't invite a drunk guy you hardly know to stay over at your place. That's asking for trouble. How do you know he didn't deliberately get "too drunk to drive home" in order to have an excuse to get into your place?

This is what I was thinking. When I said no he kind of guilt tripped me about it, like I didn't care about his safety or something. But he's a grown man who should be responsible for himself. Red flag.

^^^ This.
Also potentially a red flag. He might have a drinking problem.

Yes, and red flag that he was manipulative and was trying to guilt his way into your house. No third date for him!

Not good in any way. Call him a cab.

That's exactly how it felt: manipulative.

This, no doubt.

It also seemed selfish to me that he would place the expectation on me to take care of his bad decision, like I owed him.

I don't get drunk much, but when I do, I don't particularly care where I'm crashing.
So the fact that this guy wanted to go to your place while purportedly drunk is suspicious.
