My friend met a guy on Facebook dating two weeks ago. She’s extremely picky and was put off by his behavior and flat out rejected him. I think this guy has a lot of potential and was just really interested in her, and I think she made a huge mistake. I wouldn’t have rejected a guy for this. As far as I’m concerned, he was just engaging in typical getting to know you conversation and courtship behavior. She went on a lunch date with him and told him about a free outdoor concert she was going to with her mom. She says he wanted to come and invited himself. Then she tells me that her mom was 100 levels of uncomfortable with this guy coming with them (and so was my friend) but my friend already promised he could come (she felt bad telling him “no”).
The day of the concert, her mom backs out as they were going to a different concert. She tells him this and he hears it was just them and says “nice. Since it’s just the two of us now, why not make it into our second date and have dinner”, which I thought was sweet. Of course she says “no” 🤦🏻♀️ and that dinner would be rushing it, then she decides to be honest and says she just wanted it to be her and her mom. He says he understands then asks her questions about her mom and how close they are (which was absolutely adorable but of course she thinks it’s weird). When she asks why he’s asking her answers with “because I can tell she’s a big part of your life and I think it’s nice that you’re close with her.”
During the concert, he texted her asking how the concert was, whether her mom was enjoying it and what her mom’s name was (normal conversation questions). She answers “yes, mom is enjoying the concert, but I don’t feel comfortable with all the personal questions you’re asking about her. Frankly it’s a bit weird and I lost interest. Good luck”.
I feel bad for him. I think he was asking about her mom to try to get closer to her, and inviting himself to the concert was him trying to secure a 2nd date

This story is fake. First the mom backs out, then suddenly she is at the concert? Whatever.
Yeah I know. My friend made that up because she was annoyed the guy invited himself. She didn’t want him along because she didn’t want to give him a chance. Never mind that I would kill to have a nice, sweet guy be assertive and show interest in me and they never do.
I saw him inviting himself as a way of trying to secure a second date with her.
And also him asking questions about her mother was typical conversation for cultivating a relationship. When guys are interested in you, they want to learn about the people close to you as well. Every reason she didn’t want to date him to me is a reason why she should give him a chance.
She seems a tad odd , no offense
A lot of people think that about her so none taken, but would you care to elaborate?
For what it’s worth, I think she’s odd too. I’m just curious if you’re thinking it for the same reason as me. Here’s my reason. She was in an unhealthy relationship for ten months and the guy was verbally abusive to her. So here comes a guy who told her he thinks she’s very pretty, very smart, a good person and the fact that she was loyal to an abusive asshole for 10 months proves that she is faithful and doesn’t cheat or give up easily and she runs away and rejects him. I’m starting to think she got so used to being treated like crap that she doesn’t trust the ones who want to treat her well.
Yeah , she needs serious therapy
