How to know if my date wants to just hook up and not something serious?

I’ve a date tomorrow but I’m really nervous as I’m afraid he’s going to just play me and use me and yes I know I can say no to s€x.
But I don’t want to be saying no and hurt as I was made believe my him that he wasn’t like that as in he told me wanted soemthing serious
But I just feel texting him he’s so emotionally distant and when he suggested something to do for our first date it’s near where he lives so I have to travel more to him it just seems he’s making me put all the effort in if you get me.
Like I said he was romantic for suggesting the walk and pizza by the lake and he was like being sarcastic oh yeah I’m very romantic..
I just hope he’s not a jerk but he’s giving the vibes over text..

What do yous think?
