What does he mean by saying, "I don't want to hurt you?"

Question - (11 April 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 12 April 2011)
A female Ireland age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I met this stranger not too long ago. We exchanged numbers and texted and called each other every day for a month then finally went out on a date. Everything went really well, and we set up some more dates.

At the end of our second date he told me to text him when I was free if I wanted us to set up another date. What was weird though was that he said, 'I don't want to hurt you.' He didn't text me the next day but a few days later I texted him when I was free and things went totally back to normal and we're going out this Thursday. What did he mean when he said this?? Should I be concerned? Why say that then wait for me to contact him?

Capri2 is exactly right. Keep things public while you get to know him. No back to yours, his or anywhere private. Don't drink a lot either.

This guy is a stranger and he's just given you a warning. There could be million reasons why, take precautions but expect the worst because he basically just told you it's going to happen.

My guess is he may only be after something casual and he's warning you not to get attached, either that or he has a girlfriend already. Either way this is a reason to be extra cautious.

In other words, watch yourself when it comes to your feelings and being emotionally invested in him.
