> [@Acsenray](#): > > Yeah, it sounds like he wants a hookup. Or at least his approach to getting to know someone isn’t in line with yours. If that’s not what you’re into, then I think you can let this one go. > > I hope this isn’t a serious suggestion. The OP and the number-giver clearly don’t have the same agenda. So now they know. That’s fair enough. No one in this scenario is deserving of this kind of doxxing prank. So how should I proceed with this?Should I continue to talk and still meet him ?I wont agree to go to his house the first meeting ---

> [@Marylnshephards](#): > > No,we haven’t met in person yet.i am just wondering he just want to hook up I’m absolutely certain he doesn’t just want to hook up. Is he about your age? Is he also balding and overweight? His own sex drive has been flagging in recent years, and he’s hoping that if he goes jogging like you do, it’ll improve his libido. Honestly, you’re reading way too much into his texts: just because a guy asks if you’re a freak in bed and if you like to get fucasteriskked doesn’t mean he’s coming onto you. Sheesh. ---

> [@Marylnshephards](#): > > However,it appears that he just wants to hook up because not long during the texting phase he started asking me if I am a freak in bed ,if I like to get f_u_cked and if I live alone. Does he just want sex or he is just a sexual person? Well, what were your answers? Casual opening chit-chat is standard ‘get to know you type stuff’ and I wouldn’t read anything into it at all. I usually use those same questions when I go to a job interview and the interviewer finally asks ‘Now, Is there anything you would like to ask me?’. He sounds like a decent guy who likes to meet new people from the comfort of his vehicle. Lots of notable people have used that same strategy over the years. I would take the initiative and ask him out before someone else snatches him up. You could host a dinner and movie night at your place (provided you live truly alone). Guys like that usually like action comedy classics from their youth like Se7en or Silence of the Lambs. You can make comfort food like bean casserole and pick up a nice bottle of red wine. If things go well, it will be just like you become a part of him. ---

This whole thing is most likely just about Cobalt’s wife recruiting someone for a threesome. One 40 year old fat guy probably isn’t satisfying her anymore, but \*two \*might just do the trick. I’m sure it’ll all be cleared up when you go to his house. ---

And why join a message board you’ve never posted to before with this particular story? What advice (read: attention - what are you getting from this?) are you hoping to get here, from complete strangers, that any one of your IRL friends wouldn’t be happy to offer?.. Assuming that this is a true account of events. ---

How are we supposed to answer that? Given how he has behaved thus far are you still interested in getting involved with him? Are you interested in just sex? Do you like guys who start asking you if you’re freaky in bed right off the bat? That’s all up to you.
