I have been talking with this one guy, started doing basic vetting, and was doing a phone call when he started mentioning this steak restaurant he loves in a popular, nice part of town. He started saying I would love to take you to dinner sometime and mentioned how they have an amazing New York strip with great sides and an awesome desert menu. I chimed in that I love steak and enjoy that part of town. I figured he was going to ask me out there for a date, but as soon as I started saying that I love steak and that part of town, he almost sounded surprised and thrown off. he immediately then started saying how it's actually not that good at all, there are better places, and he actually doesn't like it there that much, and then complained at the prices again (all unprompted, I never mentioned price / finances with men)

I couldn't get a word in, and he continued on saying that it's not that expensive. I made it sound like a question when I squeaked in "okay?" and then he continued to trash talk the restaurant that he was just hyping up to me. I said laughing, "you were just saying it was great and now you're trash talking it, you seem confused." he got tongue tied and quickly had to go, ending the call.

he did not end up asking me out there, or at all.

This has to be some LVM shit test or maybe some sort of bait and switch tactic. I wanted to put it up here to warn all of you that whatever that stunt was, it was a red flag and definitely LV. if you find yourself in a similar situation, do NOT be mentioning or suggesting other places, don't be talking about the price do not acknowledge cost at all, just simply say okay and get going. whatever he had up his sleeve was not good.
