Your thoughts on this.. A guy i dont know asked me to be his girlfriend?!?

Its been like my habit going to this ice cream place alone every afternoon after work. I always see this guy there too eating alone, this had been for like months, we've become familiar to each other's faces but we never talked. Sometimes we even pass by each other at the grocery store and while jogging early morning but i try to avoid looking at him or whatever. 2 years from a breakup and im still not so in the dating scene again which is my choice not to be. Then out of nowhere one day he approached me at the ice cream place if he could join me, we talked and had fun, and then a waiter came over made him sign some papers for an ice cream delivery.. so he owned the place!!! then he sort of insisted on walking me home. Later i also found out that he and his family is a stockholder in the hospital where i work and that's when i remembered i took care of his dad when he was a patient in the ICU. i stopped going to the ice cream place and one day he was at ringing my door with ice cream.

This reads like a bad TV show...first of all, what kind of weirdo dude literally says. "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" after he is out of 2nd grade and no longer plays on the playground at school?





That is TOTALLY unnatural. It reminds me of being in 4th grade where you get the note slid to you that says, "Do you like me? Check YES or NO..."





It seems the natural course of events would be hanging out (sounds like you have some), go on a few dates, evaluate, get to know the person to gauge the next move, go on a few dates, etc...





Dudes just don't go up to women and say that line about being a girlfriend....





And to the first poster who said something about going for because "the dude is rich" or whatever - you are the kind of skeezah that gives women a bad rep - so check that you gold digger. Hope you are happy when you are ALONE and OLD because all you ever cared about was grip.





Bottom line is this: if you aren't ready then don't, but it seems a little weird to me based on what you said...only you know!
Reply:yeah, he wasn't insulting you, he was insulting one of the answers Report It

Reply:Sounds like he is rich, so I say go for it, girl!
Reply:Hello,


This time I'm going to say go with your gut instinct. (Not the heart)





It might end up OK but better safe than sorry.


If he wants you to have dinner with mom, that's good sign. Just be on your guard at all times.


Take it slow just like you are.


Good luck
Reply:yeah.... he kind of seems obsessive, but you have to admire his boldness. i would steer clear of the whole "bf/gf" stuff, but would it kill you to go on a date with this guy? if you need to, go with a friend. mabye set up one of your friends on a blind date with one of his friends. it is important to get to know him before any single-couple dates. IMPORTANT: especially in situations like this, follow your gut instinct. if somethings off about this guy, pull the plug. better to be safe than sorry.
