Hi . Am I over thinking this ?
I have a meet tonight .
I was going to drive there have a pint and then go on .
But this guy I am meeting does not want me to do . He says I won't enjoy . I won't be able to have a drink .
It is only a social nothing more
Am I over thinking this . Does he want me to get d*unk .... Does he want me to get d*unk so something can happen ?
Or am I being stupid .
I feel uneasy . Never felt this way before a meet . I get nervous yes. But not uneasy or feel a little sick with it . |

Personally I’d say always trust your instincts. If it feels wrong then don’t do it! |

Always go with your gut. If you feel uneasy, cancel. You may well be overthinking, but you should never go into a first social meet with an uneasy feeling. If that were me, I'd cancel . Good luck in whatever you decide OP |

"I meant to say that carbonated drink you can buy . No go on . Why would it not out the name of the fizzy drink ? "
Because it can also mean another thing |

There and to the left a bit |
I don't think it's for him to decide what you need to drink to enjoy yourself - I never drink alcohol when I meet anyone, and if anyone overly encouraged me to do so in the way this guy appears to be, then I'd have my doubts about their intentions too.
There is of course a difference between a throwaway comment along the lines of "if you don't drive you could have a drink" and being overly pushy about it and without knowing the exact context it's difficult to know where this falls, but as others have said, if you have your doubts Elsie then back away, or at the very least be insistent about doing what you want to safeguard yourself. |

Over thinking when arranging to meet a total stranger is always a good thing.
I think its called being careful.
Writing as guy I'd never make demands like this of anyone.
He sounds like a bloke to avoid. |

You won't be. You cancelled. A timewaster is someone who doesn't show up |

I couldn't have put it better myself. Meeting people for the first time can be a fraught time for both people and I think most right minded people would be making pains for you to be comfortable and to put you at ease.
In this instance it sounds, from what you've written, a little like he's tried to wrangle something more from the meeting. If it made you uncomfortable then you've done the right thing, socials are there for a reason |

Not sure I understand correctly. Sounds like he doesnt want you to have a drink?
Might be covering his back, as he would rather you were entirely sober and consenting? |

I think you made the right choice.
Always go with your gut, particularly when it comes to safety.

He wanted her to drink more, not less. Ie don't bring car and so have more to drink. |

Go with your gut instinct. If it feels wrong, it probably is. |
