Reply To: Am I being too pushy on dates? I could use some advice.

I met my long-term boyfriend online and did the online dating thing on and off for a few years. I never went home with anyone from the apps after a first date, even the men I liked and hoped to see again, because it felt like a risk, especially given how many online dating horror stories I’d heard. First dates always felt like sanity checks to me and I think I’d have been wary of a man from an app asking me back to his place so quickly, tbh.

Also, you don’t say how much everyone had to drink on this date, just that you went to two bars. I could absolutely see her feeling like you were pushy/took advantage if she was drunk.
