A guy I only met twice, started to talk about rules. Is it a red flag?

He was very pursuisive from the start. And i backed off, cause it seemed too much for me. And when i came back, he looks a little controling. I don't know if it's a red flag.

Firstly, deleting his social media doesn’t directly have anything to do with you, and you’d need very good reason to assume it does. Two, niceness does not automatically equate to being genuine, just as “nice guy” doesn’t always equate to “good guy”. In fact a good guy isn’t gonna try to rule over you and become a control freak.

Even shyness doesn’t matter.

Yes, this is a significant red flag. In the context of only meeting twice, a man laying down "rules" and being overly persuasive from the start is a classic sign of controlling or manipulative behavior.

Big red flag, aggressive pursuit then talking about "rules" get as far from this weirdo as you can. My father thought like that. He ruined my mothers life, I know how people like that think.

but maybe he is genuine? He seems shy, and now he deleted his accounts after. didn't text him.

Anybody that brings up his rules has something wrong with his head.
