Re: the condoms, most likely scenario is the box is from the last time she was having sex -- which likely predates her meeting you; or she bought a box this week in anticipation of sleeping with you, and she opened it to take some out for her purse for her date with you. This seems totally innocuous. In 2018, do you still expect women to passively let sex happen only where the guy takes all the steps leading up to it? That we should have no control over time/place?
This reminds me of 20 years ago the summer i interned in DC (last summer of college) and i kept a single condom in my purse. I dated and slept with two guys that summer (after having been in a monogamous relationship for 3 years), and the condom was mostly for me to feel like i was in control of my own decisions. I don't think i ever used it. A couple guy friends from the internship circle i socialized with that summer learned about the condom and were literally jaw dropped, "we need to think about how this changes our impression of you," and told me it by definition meant i was promiscuous. The mere fact of carrying a condom that i hadn't yet used. I was not from the US when this all happened, and i remember this being a rude awakening to the misogyny, repressed sexuality and bizarre double standards that many americans carry.
Sounds like you were around a bunch of dorks or hung up people. 30 years ago an appropriately prepared person would not have caused anyone I hung around with to bat an eye lash.
