It is a guy I went on one date with but am not sure if I want to see again. I told him give me time to think about if I want to go out again. He texts every day since then.

Yesterday he texted and said he wants to spend the night with me.

I told him I am not looking for that kind of relationship and he is moving too fast.

He said " What do you mean? Couples spend time together."

Then he said he didn't mean in bed. He meant I would spend the night but in his spare bedroom.

I felt gaslighted and this isn't the first time he has shown possible signs of gaslighting.

Am I imagining it?

He's testing your boundaries, and you are losing that battle.
As soon as he kept on texting you everyday after you told him that you would think about it, you should have ended it.
Nothing good is going to come of this, get out before you truly have to regret it.

I thought so too!

I am just going to ignore him from now on. It may seem like ghosting but sometimes that might be better with someone too persistent who pushes boundaries. I don't think a "break up" is even warranted at this point.

It sure isn't. Just ghost him.
Are you really that naive that a guy that states that "couples spend the night..." when you're not even a couple is crossing the line extremely? I thought you had more experience in life than that, and I don't want to appear insulting if you are very young and inexperienced.

I did think so but I was second guessing myself. I just wanted to confirm what I thought and make sure I wasn't missing something.

The guy seemed pretty nice so far, so if he's being creepy its kind of unexpected. Though he actually has done this a couple times now, so, time to take it at face value.

It is creepy.
He called you a "couple" basically with that line, with no prior agreement from you.
Can you say red flag?

All of the other stuff aside, he thinks that you're a couple after one date and a few daily texts?

I wouldn't call this guy's behavior gas-lighting--he's just a garden variety creep who's trying to push your boundaries. It might be wise to "next" and block him sooner rather than later.

I agree with this. It doesn't seem like gaslighting exactly, but a rose by any other name would still be creepy AF.

Doesn't matter if you call it "pumpernickel" he is being a douche. That is a completely inappropriate request, and justification.

He's testing to see if she has any boundaries at all. That type loves the woman who has none. She's the easiest to get to do whatever he wants....
