No, you did exactly the right thing. Its good to know that some still take the common sense approach. There are some very strange ones out there and you have to have your wits about you.
I have NEVER met someone for the first time at my home, nor for several dates actually. My fella stayed in a guesthouse near to me on the first meeting (as he wasn't local). I covered half the cost, he paid for the other half and the travelling. He was more than gracious about it and fully understood my position.
If this man is insistent and won't meet otherwise, sounds like he has an agenda. Its not worth putting yourself at possible risk and no decent man would expect you to.
Not sure if you are having a bad day or what, love, but I do not know you and you don't know me. That remark was clearly intended to be spiteful and is without any provocation.
Any decent hairdresser will tell you that the hair's natural pigmentation is made up of yellow, red and blue in varying degrees. If the hair is all over one colour only it is obviously dyed.
I think you will find Steve was being complimentary and I suggest you learn something from such a charitable nature and, without just cause, keep your catty comments to yourself?!
Its illegal here in the UK though its not always enforced as it should be.
I don't text whilst driving and I don't agree with it. I have seen people not able to go round roundabouts properly, go up on the kerb, cut across people and some even with children in the car! One fella, during the severe weather, was skidding about uncontrollably on the ice and STILL wouldn't leave his mobile 'phone alone!!!!!
We need to be protected from cretins like that, especially as it would seem that having no more mental agility than that of a single-celled amoeba is not a criteria for driving a car!!
Yes, you have a point, love. Its become rather commercially-orientated, as with most recognised occasions.
Perhaps do something a little different that doesn't cost much instead, like re-visit where you first met, arrange a lovely picnic, boat-trip, breakfast in bed, being papmered for the day, not having to do the usual house-work, etc etc...? Besides, it shows a little more effort than just paying for and writing in a card which is not exactly putting oneself out, is it?
That's not to belittle those gestures though.... each to their own.
Sadly, as with most of the posters so far, it sounds to me as though he is in a relationship or married. If he can only speak with you at certain times and there is a pattern to when those times are.....
