What should I have done? And what can I do the next time?
I met someone though an online dating site. We emailed each other (pictures and all) and then we talked on the phone. This went on for about three weeks then we decided to meet. He asked me over to his house for coffee and a light lunch. I went and we were getting along well, but I started feeling a bit uncomfortable a few hours later. I told him I needed to leave and explained how I felt. He got upset with me and said he didn't appreciate me playing games with him. It wasn't a game and I did feel uncomfortable. What should I have done? And what can I do the next time?
The next time don't make your first date a visit to his house. Now this is ironic coming from me because my first date with my husband was at my apartment, but not everyone is the same and because of the circumstances under which you met (online, email, then phone) all that could play out was in your head and in person things don't always go the way we imagine them.
If you are sure you weren't playing a game on him, then I am afraid he may be a lost cause because he doesn't believe you. The next time, I would suggest a first date somewhere in public that has a built in time limit. The leap between fantasy and reality may have been a little too much for you.
