A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hello Cupiters! I am going out on a first date with this guy I met online about a month ago. Now we're just talking texting.. Anyways, we already have plans for Saturday (dinner, miniature golf). We were having a good conversation this morning (texting back n forth). After that he asks, so what are your plans for Friday? That's tomorrow!

So, I was like what do I say? I have no plans.. I don't want to make it seem like I have no plans at all and am available all the time at the last minute. I guess I just want him to get used to asking me out in advance...that's all. And a little chase kinda thing. :-)

I replied.."I already have plans for Friday." And jokingly added.."Why? What are we doing?" Lol.

His response.."We are going out Saturday, just wondering what you were doing Friday".. then added some other things like what time he's going to pick me up from my house and send him my address.

Was that a good call on my part or did he see it as Relax..I'm not asking you out? He would of asked me out, right?!? Or do I just look dumb now...

I hope you have his picture. Meet him at a PUBLIC place and you drive yourself there. Let someone know where you're going and who you're going with. Tell your cell phone and when you leave, go to a friend's house or your parents before you go home in case he stalks you!

Make sure you give his number to someone else as well as his picture. Don't let him pick you up and meet at a well frequented public place unless you have a friend follow you like a cop.

I agree with stayc, you can say you have other plans without going into specifics and it's not a lie cos you planned on not meeting that day hehe. Also be careful with that whole him picking you up at your house, make sure you let some friends know what the plan is too and if you haven't already tell your friends his name etc.

Bring your cell phone too for safety.

Stayc63088 agony auntI think you are being paranoid. To me it didn't sound bad what you said at all. He saw that you were busy so continued to talk about your plans on saturday. Don't worry so much! But hold on, you have never met him and he is picking you up from your house? I don't mean to sound annoying or like a parent but really, you have to be careful with this type of thing... Good luck and be safe.
