I would suggest you say to him that you generally only go to dinner on first date and let's see how it goes first and we'll see about the massage,,,go to dinner, then take a walk and only then see if you want this massage or not..
Bringing up a massage is a sure sign he is probably hoping to turn things to sex.
If he is too cheap to spring for dinner or some type of real date, don't go. If he likes you, he will change his approach and pursue you in a different way.
If he doesn't good riddance. Most men on these and chat lines are just looking for sex..on chatlines I'd estimate 90-95% are looking for easy sex and many never call you back after they get it.
Tell him the thought of a massage so early does make you uncomfortable and can we put that on hold for now. If he agrees, give him a try if your instincts say yes.
Now some meeting guidrelines...
But be sure to meet in a public place or this is what I did if my instincts weren't scared. I had him pick me up at my house (probably not the best idea but I didn't want him to leave when he pulled up at the restaurant or whereever after I got dressed up and drove there without getting my dinner or night on the town.if he didn't instantly like my looks or something (being honest).
I told him in advance, I would need to see his driver's licence. When he got there (best if someone is there with you). I put his driver's license info in my voice mail and said I always leave this for my son (or whoever) so they where I am if I do not call them back or show up.
I told them I woulderase it when I returned from the date. I also entered his phone number.
Tell him you are leaving the message for your brother or whoever as to who you are with...don't say it's your own voice mail, I did because he knew my older son lived there and would check it.
I always told my son if I didn't come home to check the voice mail and pursue the info or check next day or something
. When someone knows that another person has their true ID information, they are extremely unlikely to harm you.
If they refuse to show you the license, do not go--no, if, ands, or buts..don't go
..but probably a public place is better and save this suggestion for a 2nd date if you wish.
Only one man had a problem with it out of many people I met. I had forgotten to mention this was my policy and when I asked for it when he arrived, he said he left it in the car and peeled off. He later called to say he thought I was going to steal his SS# lol
