We all know that it’s a red flag if a man drags his feet and doesn’t take initiative to plan a date with you, but I’m wondering, is the opposite extreme a problem?
For example, given the context of dating apps (I know, I know), there are a lot of men who will ask me out in the first message, without us having any sort of conversation first. And it always makes me feel icky… I’m always thinking, don’t you want to at least have a chat with me first, make sure we vibe at least a little bit? No, I don’t want to stay chatting on dating apps for weeks, but a few intro conversations before planning something seems like common decency.
Because of this, I usually ignore men who outright ask me out because it feels like a red flag and as if they almost want to “get it over with” and don’t have any interest in genuinely getting to know me.
Also in my experience being approached “in person”, if a man immediately asks me out without having made any attempt to get to know me, he usually ends up being a LVM interested in sex as quickly as possible for as little effort as possible. (Well actually… men who played the friendship “long game” were also low value lol). But, these ACT FAST NOW types seem to be a certain type of LVM who don’t even pretend to want to get to know you. Just a pattern I’ve noticed that makes me weary of these men who do such bold cold approaches like that.
But what are all of your thoughts on this? Is it ever worth accepting a date from these types of men if they do offer to take you some place nice and seem high value otherwise?
Yes, the type of situation you described is a red flag. If a man asks you out on a dating app without attempting any conversation, just block and delete.
He might even be a bot or scammer.
