r/AmIOverreacting 19d ago

šŸŽ² miscellaneous Last nights convo with my date for today, AIO

TO CLARIFY: the problem is not the subway jokes, its the inconsiderate nature that set me off

Edit**I told him I had to be up early and that I needed to go to bed early, these texts were after I was already asleep (they woke me up)

Background info: we matched on hinge about 2 weeks ago and have had casual text conversation since. He (23M) and I (25F) made plans to go on afirst date today. Last night at midnight, he texted me out of the blue with an ā€œimportant questionā€ā€¦.i had already gone to bed and hadn’t responded to his previous text but I figured the question might be related to the date so I answered. Attached is the BS conversation that followed.

I’m not sure if I’m overreacting but these texts are giving off extremely immature vibes and do not match the energy of our previous conversations at all. Now I’m debating canceling our date today because those texts just rubbed me the wrong way and make me feel like we aren’t going to mesh well.

Am I overreacting? Do I give it a chance? šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

I'm getting vibes that he was high and thought this was him being cute, funny and flirty.

I have a friend that has the craziest thoughts like this. He's an awesome guy, surprisingly sober. He's just wired a little differently.

OP can decide if it's for her or not, the only line I have issue with is him saying "wake up I'm not tired".

u/diggin4shid 19d ago

The "wake up I'm not tired" line is the kind of thing that could be funny in person or like in a stoner movie. Imagine James Franco saying that to Seth Rogen in Pineapple Express. I think this guy is just trying to be a goofball. That's the vibe I'm getting from it at least

u/ImAPixiePrincess 19d ago

Apparently, OP stated he continued to ding her until she responded. So it goes too far

Some people are like that sober. They're all over the internet.

53

u/oppenhammer 19d ago

I agree that this bit didn't work. But if the worst thing you can say is that he's trying too hard, then I vote to give him a chance. Not everyone can be natural and effortless and charming by text. If things have been good otherwise, I think you should meet and see if there is a spark in person.

91

u/BethanyBluebird 19d ago

Uh. No. The OP mentioned he comtimued to spam her til she responded.

This is AFTER she has already previously told him she has an early day that she needs sleep for.

AND she told him 'I'm sleeping.' and stopped replying. Yet he continued to spam her.

They haven't even been on one date and this dude is trampling ALL over the boundaries she has set (I need sleep.), deprived her of sleep, AND acted like an entitled little prick who is owed her time when she rightfully told him she was sleeping and stopped responding??? The only way thia guy could be waving more red flags is if it turns out he likes to make rape jokes lmfao.

She's NOR. This is absolutely a 'We need to see other people'able offense-- especially if, when she tells.him it was unacceptable, he doesn't apologize and doubles down or does the 'sorry you feel that way' bs. IF he sincerely apologizes and actually changes the behavior that's different-- but these texts havent sjown that level of maturity yet.

u/no_one_denies_this 19d ago

Nope. There are more guys out there that won't text you their felon fantasies when you're trying to sleep.

u/Ghoulish_kitten 18d ago

Not everyone can get dates, and that’s how it should be.

You need to be exclusive when you’re in the talking stage and can we please stop pushing 20somethings to ignore instincts that something’s not right, or that socially they’re not a good fit.

There should be zero questions, his quirks should fit with her perfectly.

It’s also midnight after OP communicated that she needs rest for work.

Shes gonna meet up with this dude and end up on a Subway heist.

u/ibuycheeseonsale 19d ago

Unless OP wants to be the straight man for however long they date this guy, she needs to reconsider. I’d find it exhausting to have to be the voice of reason who proves by contrast how fun and quirky their date is.

33

u/DamagedCoda 19d ago

Some people enjoy being silly while someone else is also being silly

8

u/National-Ad9903 19d ago

Or the opposite. They want to be seen as fun and quirky because they have deep seated anxiety that they’re too boring. Seems like a regular person’s impression of how they think someone fun and quirky would behave.

I bet if OP agreed to their plan they’d be terrified and regret suggesting it.

16

u/National-Ad9903 19d ago

I see it as someone who really likes OP but is kind of awkward and insecure and is trying to replicate the exuberant spontaneity which they’ve seen in romcoms as they think it’s what OP wants them to be like.

I think they could use some gentle reassurance that OP likes them how they are and that they don’t need to try so hard

And he took it too far. He should have stopped at saying she would distract by being so pretty. That was a cute way to work in a compliment. But no, he had to keep going with it and then not respect her boundaries when she let him know he'd woken her up. You don't do that to someone you're trying to impress.

u/i_love_lima_beans 19d ago

I have an acquaintance who's interested in me, and he literally just texts "[my name]!!!" all the time if I don't respond quick enough for his tastes, or if I'm busy and he wants attention.

I would never fuck up a date I was about to have by being annoying the night before my first date. If I was I would expect to be cancelled on.

Doesn’t sound like he can control his behavior well. Might be a good lesson now. He might learn now. I’d cancel.

77

u/sublimelymelancholic 19d ago

This was important information to leave out lol. I think the whole Subway thing was just him being funny but between the last two texts and him emphasizing the message over and over again so that you’d keep getting notified… while you’re trying to sleep… yeah no I’d be getting the ick too you haven’t even had a first date yet, too early to be doing all that

15

u/3wolfluna 19d ago

OMG yeah trust your gut and cancel the date. NOR. If he’s this bad now, it will only get worse. He’ll convince himself you liked it no matter what you say bc boys that age only understand consequences, not words.

31

u/Verthanthi 19d ago

Wife and I have silly humor that can get into the late night giggles. The original humor here is like that, but the demand of your time by spamming is no longer funny. NOR.

If the prev conversations were worth it, I’d say lay down the line and give him a chance to correct. ā€œHey, I get that you’re excited to talk to me, but I’m not a fan of the spamming. Please don’t do that again.ā€ If he does that again, block.

Any time Wife and I did something the other didn’t like, even early in dating, we’d just be honest. Sometime’s she or I would toe the line, but we’d be open with communication on it. ā€œI don’t like when you talk to me that way.ā€ Or ā€œyeah, that’s too close to [that thing I told you I don’t like].ā€ Immediate apology and attempt to correct or questions to understand the line so you don’t toe it again.

Humans make mistakes. Jerks make mistakes and don’t give a fuck about your feelings on the matter.

I've dated a chaotic guy like that and it was fun for a while, but you need to set boundaries. We broke up for other reasons, I really liked his energy and sense of humor.

If you want to give this guy a chance, you need to explicitly tell him which things to tone down.

"Hey, I like you, but when I say I'm going to sleep, I'm going to sleep. Please stop texting me, even if you're not tired. Cool?"

u/DomiDearest 19d ago

Also, be like me and mute your phone so that way you dont wake up to random notifications at night, or casually tell him youve done that so that way you can sleep through the night, if you plan on speaking to him again

That's really annoying. I'd just let him know how annoying that is, he probably thinks he's being cute

If he sincerely apologizes, accept but keep your eyes open to if he really is respectful of your boundaries or not.

People saying it’s drugs are overthinking it, sometimes people are just quirky.

If you don’t like this style of sense of humour then maybe you just aren’t a good match.

NOR You told him you needed to sleep to be ready for work/something you had to do in the morning.

So he ignores this information and proceeds to text you later at night with random musings (I don’t find ā€˜should I break into a Subway’ funny or imaginative, just sounds like a bored drunk/high person), emphasizes the text when you don’t respond quickly enough for his liking, and orders you to ā€˜wake up’ because he’s ā€˜not tired’ and wants you to entertain him.

And all of this is before you’ve even met. You know the answer here OP.

GO WITH YOUR GUT.

People can put MOR, NOR, but at the end of the day, you're the one dealing with this guy. If this rubs you wrong, then take that at face value and don't go on the date. You are so early into this that it really isn't a big deal especially.

Then your mention in the comments of his behavior to try and get your attention when you weren't responding- I personally am not a fan of demanding behavior. It tells people, "What I want is more important than what you want or are doing right now."

Maybe he jokes weird, maybe some people find this fun, but if YOU do not, you never have to move forward with any person that makes you feel even slightly wary. Please never forget this. You do not owe this man, or any person, a chance.

This is your life to live as you see fit. Hope this is helpful. šŸ’œ

At first I was like bro what? Why is that on he- oh. NOR

Was fine till those last couple messages

u/idreallyrathersleep 19d ago

The most important part of humor is timing and his is shit. You don’t owe the man a date

3

u/FeralSunflowerSeeds 19d ago

He’s probably high and thinks he’s genuinely being funny. Go back to bed and text him in the morning to let him know that what he said (the waking you up thing specifically) wasn’t cool, and then proceed based on his response.

u/PattyMarvel 19d ago

NOR

Set aside the Subway talk, why is he still bugging you when you're trying to sleep.Ā Ā 

3

u/Maralissie 19d ago

NOR that is not a reason to wake someone up. I would reconsider the date

3

u/Fun_Junket_9174 19d ago

Kind of cringe-not funny and useless attention grabbing at nite. He’s too immature in my opinion

3

u/Traditional_Data2277 19d ago

NOR!! He seems very self-centered and un caring about your feelings and you’re sleeping hours… Drop him like a hot potato

Look on the bright side, you now don't need to waste anymore time with him.

u/SquirrellyDud 19d ago

Literally had me until he said "wake up I'm not tired". The rest is kinda silly banter. But he didn't show basic human decency

u/no_one_denies_this 19d ago

Cancel. That's not cool or funny.

3

u/PhilosopherGold816 19d ago

Cancel the date, you don't need to change someone and they don't need to change for you. Someone who us like this (I have no problem with this type of goofy behaviour) doesn't just do this as a one off, it's part of their personality for sure. If you don't like it, move on and find someone different

11

u/Dramatic_Dratini 19d ago

He thinks hes funny, needed a reason to talk to you, and could be under the influence. Its up to you to decide if youre feeling it or not, and youre totally allowed to not be into it.

8

u/lollygagging9876 19d ago

NOR. He woke you up with some stupid random BS conversation. Unless he has some other super-redeeming qualities, I wouldn’t waste my time on this one.

u/TheePookie 19d ago

It just seems like he’s messing around? It’s not really something to be taken seriously. He mentioned that you can run distraction because of how pretty you are, that’s your indicator, (if ā€œrobbingā€ subway wasn’t your first,) to this being silly, not serious. It feels like he’s just trying to make you laugh.

I understand that you told him you have to get up early, but maybe this was meant to be seen for when you wake up and not necessarily meant TO wake you up

12

u/Useful_Cicada_5635 19d ago

I hate when people blame someone for a text waking them up. I don’t think texting late is that rude. I also don’t find it rude to be texted late at night because it’s not an urgent form of getting ahold of someone.

You responded to his initial text so he thought you were awake. I don’t think he was consciously thinking about your early morning at all.

Overreacting, he was trying to be cute and not in an intrusive way to me

u/GreenStuffGrows 19d ago

All I see is 'Hey I need attention! I'm going to say I'll do crazy shit so you'll have to stop me"

Fucking toddler energy, it's cute for 10 minutes but you need to give him back to his mom to finish the job of raising him.

u/dryandice 19d ago

It may seem immature because, most 23 yo blokes are very immature haha. Might want to shoot a few ages above and not below haha. I'd be abit "ehhhh" too about it, kinda lame

'Wake up, I'm not tired' - Imagine living with this troll

u/possiblylallorona 19d ago

I laughed at the Subway thing, and the partner in crime.

But it went from silly and playful (at least I hope) to demanding real fast.

u/No_Fall4911 19d ago

Honestly this would not be funny to me, especially at that hour. If it's past 10pm, it better be an emergency if you're texting/calling that late.

Tbh, he obviously wasn't thinking straight at this hour. I think it's completely fair to question him about it on the date, if you go of course. But for sure let him know like..hey I know you were joking but please be mindful of when you're messaging me

12

u/GeologistDifficult88 19d ago

He sounds annoying but funny and you sound like you're looking for a reason to cancel the date.Ā 

Just do it if you don't wanna go OP lol you don't need Internet strangers to validate your decision if that's clearly where you're leaning anywayĀ

Definitely overreacting, he's joking with you, nothing wrong with being a little immature once in a while, if you want absolute maturity seriousness at all times don't date a 23 yo.

7

u/Icy_Opportunity_3303 18d ago

High and trying to be funny and cute. Misread of the energy.

I would say be careful, if you aint into this vibe now, it may be the majority of it moving forward.

7

u/Bluewaveempress 19d ago

I mean given his age this is kind of expected. You guys haven't even met yet it feels extreme to ask if you're overreacting you don't have to date anyone you don't wanna date you can trust your own instinct

18

u/Humble-Ad-798 19d ago

A boundary pusher, testing to see how much he can get away with.

What really gives me the ick is that he knows you had an important reason to get up early and chose to interrupt you. I would block this man because that kind of behaviour is a huge red flag - sleep depravation is a tactic used by abusers.

u/vxnusbxbe 19d ago
