Planning to meet a guy for drinks who doesn’t want to come to Virginia

So OP you want to drive, right?
And he wants Metro and lives on Red Line.
OP wants a place to park. If OP were Metroing it would've been trivial to ride Silver line 1 more stop.

Put in your OLD profile " must have parking nearby I only drive"

OP he also may assume the restaurants on his side of the river are better. When we lived in dc, I hated trekking to VA suburbs for not great places

Not a good sign on his part. Foggy bottom parking sucks, Arlington is just a bit easier and cheaper. He should of at least offered to cross the bridge he seem selfish.
buh- bye

Op here. This is true! But I do want to drive and I was happy to drive to Arlington for a first meet. After that if we click I’d be okay going into the city for a nicer experience. But I was put off by his insistence to meet for the first time in DC on a rainy day.

Why are you bothering with this loser?

Your lives are too busy and you don't live close enough for both of your preferences. Next.

Maybe he’s “wanted” in VA.

Girl. If you insist on driving you cannot date people in DC proper. Stick with fellow suburnians.

Where in Arlington did you propose meeting? Insisting on planning the date around your refusal to take public transit is pretty selfish on your part.

The distance is an issue - for both of you.
Find a man closer.

Move on.

I don’t love that he won’t make the trek over to Arlington and expects me to go to DC. What would you do?

You live in the objectively worse area

Don’t date a city guy then. Stick to wrap around Oakley Virginia defense contractors

I wouldn’t meet him based on his unwillingness to compromise.

I had a friend like him. She lived in DC , new guy she connected with online lived in Columbia. She expected him to drive to DC. I told her to compromise and meet in Silver Spring. She wouldn’t. They never met up.

Plenty of parking on Dupont but agree the guy is not particular interested. Plenty of girls for him to date in DC thus he won't bother. Move on
