Good advice. When Catsloveme comes to my town I am going to take him and my brother to Belmont Park (roller coaster, etc) and if he turns out to be weird, which I doubt, I can tell him my brother and I are going to go get the camera out of the car and never go back.

another good idea is to have a friend call you in the middle of the 'date' with an 'emergency' just in case you need an excuse to leave.

What if he/she wants to come with you?

I don't know his working hours and he works in healthcare but I don't remember his exact occupation.

When all else fails...talk to the guy! Tell him your concerns..See what he says. Is he understanding? Maybe he thinks you're fascinating and is just excited? Who knows? Just be careful..A coffee date at Starbucks during a busy time. If it doesn't go well...then leave. If it does, maybe you have the start of a relationship. Give the guy a chance...just be safe. Good luck.

Yes!it knows when you don't!

alot of good info here and tonight on site. You say he works in the medical field but do you know this? Everyone here has great advice...esp rushing into things. Someone said waiting awhile is best and that seems best. You Really don't know this person except a week of texting- ? Better to be cautious, have a friend at a nearby table, let people know where you're going and when coming back, take a friend etc if you're going to go right off. Pressure is something that makes my head think...why? In todays world, any person would reasonably understand if you said lets get to know each other a bit more. I know I'm not one to give advice since am new to this but little alarms went off when reading your words. Vague knowledge of him. From him? No offense.

This is really good advice like the others. On the other dating site that I'm on he has his occupation listed as "Healthcare" I'll see how things go but I don't know if it's going to work at all....

This may sound odd.....but I've had fun playing "20 questions" with people. Most people love to talk about themselves. Start up a game and just see where it goes. It can be very telling. Obviously you don't want this to go on too long, but it helps to glean information about a person and whether or not they would be someone you might like to meet. Start with simple stuff and agree beforehand on the rules of the game (as far as privacy issues). It's not mandatory to answer every question, but it allows you both to learn a little bit about each other. I've done this on the phone and by email. I haven't ever really found anyone to be unresponsive to it. They might remember a funny story to tell you and this runs off into other conversations. It's not too hard to tell when it's time to take it to the next level either.
Good Luck and Have Fun!

Your instinct is trying to tell you something so in a nice way tell him in an email that you are interested but you would be more comfortable if you could get to know him a little better. Then your feelings will probably be resolved.

What sticks out in what you said is this person has rather quickly moved to a method of communication that is very easy to hide. That always suggests deception to me if they don't also do something more public that would resolve the threat of a cheater.

It also bugs me that he is very vague about his work. Most men talk about their job with people they are interested in. Maybe not the gross stuff but at least gripeing about the boss or something. I have too often seen guys who say they are in healthcare when in reality they are living with someone for minimal help and free rent.

Hopefully it will all work out but I would be careful and take my time. Good Luck.
