I'm not trying to be difficult, but I sometimes find it frustrating when certain guys/ potential dates ask me to show them around. Once they find out I'm a city native they forget about the actual date and ask me to instead show them around. I understand people believe it's a cute segway into dating and it's a smooth way of getting to know someone, but I don't want to be tasked with showing you around a city you can explore yourself. It's like becoming someone's friend just because you want them to teach you English or becoming someone's friend just so you can get car rides from them. It feels a little manipulative, like do you want to get to know me or do you want a map?
It also seems like the "recently moved here" is an excuse for not finding a decent place to have a date. You can Google good restaurants and search nice spots to visit. Yelp is just as accessible to you as it is to me. And sometimes when a guy says, "you can show me around", I become so uninterested. I understand wanting someone to be your friend in a new city, but I wouldn't preface the relationship or even friendship with "can you show me around". At least to me it seems like you're more interested in directions than me. 🤷🤦
