45F matched with a very attractive 45M. Already had a meet up/date scheduled with another guy, felt weird about doing 2 in one day, so didn’t end up getting to meet up with him until close to a week later. He was persistent, following up with messages until we could nail something down. We were definitely on the same page in terms of wanting to meet sooner than later- with not too much chit chat ahead of time. Met for coffee, immediately there is 🔥 chemistry. We embrace. He writes his name on my car with a heart in the dirt (it’s a black car, barely dirty, but you get the idea). We spend an hour and a half together. He texts me during the date “you’re so penetrating pretty” (my phone was in the car so I didn’t see it until after). He takes the coffee receipt, rubs it on his chest to get the cologne scent on it and gives it to me. He asks for a pen and writes “mine” on my arm. Yes...all of this is over the top but he’s playful, silly, gorgeous. He texts me after the date to tell me how amazing I am, how proud he was to be seen with me, how I’m the most impressive woman he’s ever met, says to me, “best meet and greet ever.” We set a dinner date for Friday. He texts me the next day, asking to meet for another coffee date because he has a gift for me. We meet on Wednesday. He gets out of his vehicle when we meet, dramatically drops to his knees, we embrace multiple times. Another lovely time together. He does mention to me that he’d like to eat Nerds out of my clavicles, but I digress. At the end of the date he hands me a White House Black Market bag filled with boxes wrapped in ribbons. Matching earrings, necklaces, bracelets. This was adorable because his opening line to me on match.com was that I looked like I belonged in a WHBM magazine. Throughout all of this week there’s been regular communication- texting, sending pics, a phone call. He expresses how he can’t wait to see my face, how I make him nervous, he’s worried about eating in front of me, etc. We meet for the date on Friday which is at a super fancy restaurant. He sprinkles rose petals at my feet as we walk across the road to the restaurant. He’s such a gentleman, but the sexual tension is thick. He takes off his shoe and rubs my legs with his foot. At the end of the date, he walks me to my car. We kiss for a quite a while, it’s hot, his hands are in my hair, never touching below the waist. I thank him for the lovely dinner. I text him good night xoxo. Nothing. I texted him once the next day. Nothing. Sunday (today) I texted him a pic of the roses in my yard- cuz I couldn’t remember the name of them at the time- the ones he’d sprinkled at my feet (they’re called knock out roses). Nothing. I’ve been back on match and see he’s been active. What gives? He got me? I fell into his trap. Game over for him? Chase done? His behavior had been a bit much and could have definitely come across as borderline creepy had he not been so handsome. But still this was a weird experience. Weird shit, man.
