My $0.02 worth is that this guy seems to be overcompensating for something and that something may be the baggage that he is carrying from his previous relationship(s).

I'll be 34 shortly and I have my own baggage, it may be pretty standard issue baggage for man in the west (where the women who pursue us most aggressively have ulterior motives and the ones we are interested in, play hard to get) but it's baggage nonetheless and everybody has baggage... if you think otherwise, you're delusional.

The most important thing is to know what that baggage is, why you have it and to be honest about it, anything else is a disaster waiting to happen.

I tend to agree with Torgo70... that's a bit creepy but we have instincts for a reason and if yours tell you something is off, then listen to them.

While everyone is different, I don't see myself or any of my friends speaking to a member of the opposite sex in that manner unless we were trying deliberately to creep her out or just taking the P. There is respectful and polite and then there is over the top... this seems more of the latter.

He maybe just a really nice guy. However, if you feel uneasy about him now, just take it slow. There are several men out there who are just really gentlemen. lol I had a couple of online dates that were really nice. Although the men were Older and had much experience talking to ladies and going on nice dates.
