He Wanted Me to Send Photos & Lied About His Age

 Guess who's got a new dating story for you....

In this episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, I've got a brand new first date story about Rob*. Find out why my friends insisted I sack him off immediately and how I responded when he continued to ask me to send photos of myself. Plus, the shock reason he lied about his age and didn't tell me until we met.

Here's a peek at what we cover:

1. Matching & Initial Impressions: Where we matched the first time, where we matched the second time, why I labelled him as a fuck boy immediately and the reason I was totally ok with this.

2. Red Flags & Misgivings: Requesting photos wasn't the only red flag Rob raised but still, I went on a date with him.

3. Age Deception & Uncomfortable Moments: He arrives to the date 15 minutes late and confesses to lying about his age on dating apps. Initially this didn't bother me, until he revealed the reason for the deception....

4. Banter & Awkward Interactions: I'm sharing the instances of 'banter' that made me uncomfortable and why, at 33 years old, I'm no longer available for this.

5. Dinner & Unwanted Advances: The date progresses to dinner and then we have another drink in the pub before Rob's unwanted physical advances make me feel uncomfortable.

6. Post-Date Communication: Rob's post-date messages further reveal his persistence in seeking photos despite my clear boundaries.

7. Friend's Opinions & Not Replying: Every friend I've spoken to about Rob has told me to sack him off immediately and did I end up ghosting him?
