[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been on 3 dates with someone that I met a month ago. Lately he’s been calling me on FaceTime blowing kisses, repeatedly telling me he’s thinking of me, and even told me he missed me a few days ago.

Anyways, he went to CA to visit his brother a week ago and will be back on Tuesday. Today he asked me if I had anything planned on Tuesday night. I told him I’m going to go spend time with my niece for her birthday. He replied back and said, “That sounds nice. [b]I’d like you to make some time[/b] soon so we can see each other”. For some reason this REALLY turned me off. Am I just being overly sensitive due to my disdain for dating or was that really off putting?

[/quote]Tell him he needs to stop using the imperative form without softening such as "Let's get together soon!", "Please hit me up if you get time for us to see each other", "I was hoping later some time we can see each other."  Otherwise it springs rebellion of being ordered around by a unearned authority figure sibling bossing one around "Big brother is watching you".  Tell him his communication style of ordering you around isn't compatible with yours and it is in his court whether he can instantly change his lifetime vernacular overnight.  Here's a link for him:[url]https://english-at-home.com/speaking/giving-orders-and-instructions/[/url].  I see how you were turned off and you'd be justified in dumping him, but if this is the worst thing he's ever done and he is really trying to improve his poor phrasing, marry him.[/quote]
