Dating : Is this behavior desperate or just really, really inexperienced?
He invited me out for a first date on Monday evening, and I said that wouldn’t work for me. Then he suggested Tuesday evening. I said I would check which day worked best for me and confirm. I suggested Friday, so we agreed on that. Yesterday he invited me to come over to his place, Today then he invited me out for a drink after work. Meanwhile we’re still on for Friday. We haven’t even properly gone out yet. Is this just someone having been out of the game for a while, or is it red-flag desperation? It seems like maybe he doesn’t have enough going on in his life. (Edit to mention that I myself have been out of the game for a couple of years, and I need some pointers.)
Have you gone over to his place or out for drink or you declined both his invitations?
I personally would get a bit peeved/freaked out. Someone who is so insistant might be cligny or emotionally dependent. I would say go on the date on Friday and see how he acts. If he’s « too much » you might want to ask him to slow down or simply tell him it might not work out.
He just seems thirsty, I wouldn’t consider that desperate.
He might turn out clingy, but he just seems thirsty to me.
