Be glad you found out after only 2 dates. No need to waste any more of your precious time on this loser. Block and move on. Block and ditch any man who makes crude jokes, jokes at your expense, displays controlling or misogynistic behaviour, or shows any inkling of anger issues. You may want to check out the burned haystack method.

Op here.
It was a locker room bro joke type of meme. A girl sticking her tongue out like a dog I guess to represent interest in oral sex?
When I told him it was offensive he said I’m easily offensive and called me a princess.

No, because if YOU wouldn't find it offensive, that doesn't mean OP didn't. OP is entitled to your opinion, as are you. I'm pretty hard to offend so it may not bother me, but if it bothers OP and the guy she is dating thinks she shouldn't be offended, then they shouldn't be dating.
If anyone is wondering how you end up on those threads bashing your husband 10+ years in - this is it - ignore the red flags in your relationship and have kids with him anyway.

It’s hard to say without seeing it. A girl sticking her tongue out like a dog doesn’t immediately make me think oral sex.
What offends one person doesn't offend another. His response is the problem.
IDK. I could honestly see this from either side. If someone is offended by a meme that was funny and not intended as offensive, I would honestly wonder what is wrong with them.
The guy may or may not be showing red flags, but only 2 dates and this reaction to a meme makes it not compatible to go on date 3.
The ONLY response to someone being offended by a dumb meme is "I'm sorry. I didn't intend to offend you."
That's it.
Op here. I’m surprised he was upset that I was offended. Then he said I sent o easily be offended.
We have been texting and shared that we find each other attractive. I was surprised by the crude meme and didn’t find it sexy or cute. Instead of saying oh just kidding, im sorry, he is turning it into a me problem, then calls me a princess.
