A Red Flag or Cute?

Anonymous
Met a man in a casual situation. We exchange phone numbers and agreed to go on a first date. He shows up to my house with a compatibility test. About 30 or so questions, which he precedes to ask me. I agree to take the test because I'm uncertain what it means at this point, and I don't want to be rude. I don't really remember the results of the test because it felt more like a joke to me or maybe a.fun ice breaker. We've only been casually dating for a few weeks but I can't past the fact that he asked me to take a compatibility test. I thought the purpose of dating was to get to know each other in an intimate setting. If this happened to you, would you consider it a red flag or just a really cute behavior? We haven't been dating long enough for me to know if this is a red flag and if there are other behaviors that could be just as strange. I can tell you fhat he is 33 and still.lives with his parents.

Are you serious? This happened?

The being 33 and living with parents is way more concerning but the test thing is weird as hell

Did he take it also? That would be a fun ice breaker if you both took together.

This is why you never have someone come to your home on a first date! (And also, being murdered)

I'm confused- you invited him to your home for a first date and he brought a compatibility test?
Is he a virgin?

Not cute. I would have said "We're on a date RIGHT NOW. If you're more interested in getting to know someone through a test like that, try EHarmony."

33 and living at home is a deal breaker for me, though. Once that came out I would have told him that no compatibility test in the world is going to match us, because he is a child.

HA HA HA, he thinks a compatibility test is going to tell him something.

If he was that interested in compatibility, I would have? just told him to go home and? Google zodiac signs. Then I would have gone out on my own and had fun without some creepy dude hanging around. You should never have invited him to your house.

I'm not sure if it's a red flag (probably), but it's definitely not cute. WTF?

OP, how desperate are you to continue dating him and actually wonder if this is cute?

OP here, yes it was probably a mistake to invie him into my house but that's not really the issue (but I will heed your advice in the future). We both took the test, and then proceeded to go out to dinner. I do see the signs that he's somewhat immature. His last 2 relationships were with women in Australia via online dating. He's not a virgin but I did learn that he had a long-term 7-year relationship with a woman who was the first woman he slept with. She broke up with bim. I don't think this is a relationship worth pursuing, but it's the compatibility test that really threw me.

Then why are you even giving this a second thought? He sounds like a loser and you sound desperate to make it possibly work.

I agree that you shouldn't pursue this OP, he sounds too awkward at best. And while I know you think it's not the issue, it really is a bad idea to invite a stranger to your home, please reconsider in the future.

Nope. This guy is a social idiot. I forbid you to keep seeing him.

Just wondering, what ethnicity is he?
