So I was contacted by a guy on one of these online sites. He paid me a compliment, I thanked him. He's from out of town and I figured nothing will come of it.
Couple of days later, he writes me and says he's in my area and will like to see me the same day. Typically, I don't even like to exchange numbers with a guy until we've talked for a while. Also, I prefer us meeting at a coffee shop for the first date to see if there's an interest. He was insistent and nice. Against my better judgment I agreed.

He wanted to take me out to a restaurant and asked me to suggest one close to me. I suggested one that has rave reviews but which I'd never been to and provided him their address and phone number. He agrees to meet.

At the appointed time he shows up at the restaurant. Turns out it is "pricey" and by that I mean an entrée was like $28.
We split both the entrée and appetizer. While there, he raves that this is the best meal he's had. He wants to extend the night after we eat, but I'm not really keen on it. The date was good, but he dabbles in 420 and just has a lifestyle that I found is very different from mine.

The next day, we don't communicate.

The third day, he sends me a series of texts, saying How come I recommended such a pricey restaurant. That he hates these rich people hoity toity places. That he's a blue collar worker and I'm white collar and I should have recommended something cheaper.

I am shocked to say the least because on the date, he raved about the food and never mentioned cost.

What is 420 and what does it have to do with the date?
I agree about the restaurant, a bit of research would have helped find a nice but less expensive place.

He sounds like an idiot but I wouldn't stop dating because of that.

420 is code speak for pot smoking. OP, I wouldn't let it get to me...one bad apple does not a cart make.

He makes this comment "What was I expecting? That you would take me to your home and f%%k" which further shocks me.

But then I realize, his anger is not about the restaurant. It was because he intended to sleep with me on this first date and because he didn't get it and I didn't talk to him the second day, he decided to show his anger to me.

Mind you, I thanked him for a lovely dinner after the meal via words and text.

The whole situation just maddens me. It's been a long time since I met a guy who expected sex on the first date or after buying me a meal. It just rubs me the wrong way.

I am not a piece of meat. I am a human being with feelings and I darn sure cannot be bought for a restaurant meal.
He was the one who insisted we go out the same day. He made me pick the restaurant. We shared one entrée and one appetizer. WTH

I am going back with a vengeance to my former stance. First dates will be in a coffee shop. It doesn't matter if the guy insists on a restaurant.
2nd date will be in a restaurant and I'd make him pick or, I will ensure he checks out their prices before hand.

I am just so turned off.

For the right gal, no price is too high.

I would/do crawl the floors through raw sewage to get the money to pay for it.

Climb on top of a commercial high rise/skyscraper building roof as well.

It means weed and he asked me twice to smoke it with him. I don't smoke and it was an instant turnoff, but I just told him nicely "Thanks. But I don't smoke weed"

So apparently guys carry weed with them now.

He wreaks of creepiness, I'd be careful. Him being from out of town and then all of the sudden he's in your area? He sounds weird.

I wouldn't. If I were treating, he would get what I could easily afford. lol
