Way I see it, if they cant pick up the phone and go through with a meet...I tend to tell them I'm not interested anymore. Who has time for that back and forth texting and guys who cant make up their mind about meeting or not? I need mature men who know what they want and aren't going to hide behind the phone whilst being vague about meeting.
Frankly, the fact that he's texting after midnight is a problem (it would be for me anyway), I think when men or women do that it shows a bit of immaturity on their part.
If a person can't get a hold of me at normal times, then I have no time for them. When i was single, I really didn't waste time on people like this guy you are talking about. I'd move on to the next...

The signs are obviously suspicious with this one.


Yet that's not your question. You wanted to know: does this come across too pushy? Yes it does. If a potential date began to order me around like that prior to meeting, I'd take it in a bad way.

And I'd be happy to escort you...to the door!

I have enough ladies and men here to back me up. I also agree to that when someone can only text, somethings not right.

A guy who I dumped in the trash a few months ago got in touch with me again this week. Why? I dont know. He drove me so insanely mad with his constant texting (but only 2 dates and no phone calls) that after 3 weeks of the nonsense I told him to go **** himself.

He claimed to have always been single...yet all the signs were there that there was someone else involved. He refused to admit it...I could care less though. Im over it, I was angry that he attempted to come back into my parameters when he knows he isn't fair.

I found it really weird and extremely off putting when a guy was pushy to meet me. I would get up to ten emails a day as that was how we decided to communicate and I only replied to a couple of them. he offered to book a hotel near where I lived and then offered to pick me up. that was the last straw since I thought I don't want someone I don't know and have never met knowing where I live and honestly how would I know if he was even going to take me there and not lock me up or kill me and if they are that eager then their must be something wrong. or am I in the wrong for freaking out?

I can text, call, meet...but a guy who left you "post" ("poste" in latin american spanish when someone doesn't show up to a meeting or date without notice or with little notice) is not worth your time really.

Gotta move to the States...seems that dating there is not so hard like in Panama.

hey anyone reading. turns out my instinct was right and this creep is a complete oddball and online stalker and started making several fake accounts to try to engage me and then started posting on a personal site as me as a prostitute unfortunately despite no emails or person or photos he did get my number.

I actually have a very good relationship with someone now who initially had about a fortnight-month of texting before we started to meet and hang out. we had met in person once before though.

lesson learnt. use a fake name, set up a fake number and a fake location and email.
