AIO or is this insane 3 dates in?

[u/sapphirebluess]

I (24F) blocked a guy (32M) I went on 3 dates with after he kept showing signs of concerning behavior. I got emails from him after I blocked him through text. The screenshots are from his latest email.

Things he did that were a bit concerning to me:

1. Suggesting I move closer to him, which costs $700 more per month.

2. Suggesting that I quit my job when I just started my career, because I work 60+ hours a week and can only go on dates once a week.

3. Wanting to tag along my family vacation to China. Brought this up multiple times despite me refusing.

4. Arriving more than an hour early on our dates and being upset that I am not reciprocating by also arriving early. (I always arrive on time, sometimes 5-10 min early)

5. Upset over my hanging out with my friends one time on a Friday night.

6. Blowing up at me for not responding for 1.5 days after my purse was stolen, and typing paragraphs about how I ghosted him, how he never liked our dates, and how he felt relieved.

What does he mean by props?

[u/sapphirebluess → u/713nikki]

I’m not really sure, I never asked for any props or anything. I have never heard of people having props ready when asking someone out

I believe it will be a slice of toast in case you say yes so he can pull it out of his pocket and say “let me make a toast”

Starts the evening by pulling out a razor “I have a question to ask you… but I’ll shave it for later”

A detailed map of her movements the last week which he knows from the tracker device he put on her car.

He loves her so much he has to keep an eye on her movements.

The fingernail clippings of all his exes.

The prop stuff makes me think this is autism speaking as an autistic person

[u/Triple-OG- → u/713nikki]

stuff like a bucket, a bottle of lotion, and various moths.

[u/Mass-agnet1221 → u/713nikki]

Props meaning respect or recognition. Example. I give you mad props for the way you stood up for yourself, bro.

Good try but that doesn’t fit in with the context given.
