In communication with a guy. All seemed to be going just great. We were discussing getting together, and what the first "meet" should be...

it just all goes horribly wrong from there !

he says that we can do something casual, I can strut my stuff and show off my curves ... then, if all goes well, we can turn a quick date into something a longer.

Ummm... maybe it's just me, but is this for real? There has to be a better line than this. I had to bow out of this first date.over-reaction?

women... would you find this a compliment? guys... would you even use such a line?

Was he talking about wearing a slinky dress to an upscale restaurant?

If not, I would need an interpretation before I would make a commitment.

Was this said in a funny, flirty conversation? If so, and if that seems to be his style (and you've liked his style) than I don't see anything wrong with it. I probably would have asked him what he'd be showing off to me in return!

If it was said in an email, it may have come across very badly. I've heard way worse and would be inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt unless he's seemed like a thinly disguised slea ze - bag before then, too.

If it was said out of the blue, and not in a fun, joking context, I'd still meet him but count on the meeting probably being a short one... though you could be pleasantly surprised.

I would never use that line, that sound really immature, maybe some woman digs guys that are immature? good practice of raising a kid? I don't know.

Ya know-some guys are basically tacky and just don't know it. If he continues with this, I'd politely discontinue conversation for lack of compatible sense of humor.

I have a question, the curve he refereed to would that be located around his abdomen and throw in some love handles for bonus?

Since you were talking about what to do on your first date he could have been saying you can put on a nice dress and go dancing...

Perhaps it would have been an idea to ask him what he meant when he said it.
