With dates as available as anything you’d like to buy on Amazon Prime or watch on Netflix, it’s no surprise that men are double booking. Men are shopping around, price comparing and negotiating dates as if they’re negotiating for a new car. Unfortunately, some men are so overwhelmed by all of the untapped prospects in their dating app that they cannot stick to just one date on one night. If you don’t think that this is happening to you, you might think again when you recognize some of these signs that you’re being double booked.

There’s a lag in the planning
When you’re trying to make a plan for the first date, he will be very enthusiastic, and then disappear. You’ll get a message that says, “I love that idea!” and then a, “Actually, um, can I get back to you?” He’s collaborating with his second booking.

He’s intent on a place
He really wants to take you to this one particular restaurant. If you say you don’t like that type of food, he throws out three other suggestions…all in the same neighborhood. He can’t venture too far from his second booking.

He wants to do the early bird special
He wants to have dinner so early that the elderly are having dinner, and the cool college kids are finishing their breakfast. The bar isn’t even open yet!

Or the late night happy hour
Or he wants to have dinner at 11 pm. When you say that’s too late for you and you’d rather do another night he says, “Can’t you have a snack to hold you over?” He’s trying to cram in as many dates as possible in one night! You ruin his plan by rescheduling.

He doesn’t want you checking in
When he sees you on your phone he says, “You’re not checking us into this restaurant, are you?” He doesn’t want his second booking to see that he was out with you.

He’s looking at his watch a lot
Nobody wears watches anymore—who are we kidding? But he keeps asking the server what time it is, and trying to check subtly the clock on the wall by “stretching.”

His questions are specific and weird
He asks you questions that belong on a survey, like, “Do you care if I only cut my hair twice a year?” And when you answer, you see him calculating something in his head. He’s taking notes. He’s going to compare your answers to his second booking’s.

He’s checking his phone constantly
He might be so blatant as to keep checking his phone. Plenty of guys do that—fine. But this guy will feel the need to tell you every time he picks up his phone what he is doing. And it makes no sense. Is he using his blood pressure app?

He wants to order right away
Before you’ve even had the chance to ask for a glass of water he says, “I think we’re ready to order. Are you ready? Here, I’ll order, and you can figure out what you want while I do that.” He needs to rush to his second booking.

He orders a one-handed item
He gets a burrito, or a hand-held sushi roll or a burger. And he eats that thing fast. When you so much as hint at the fact that your food was improperly made and you want to send it back, he convinces you that it’s fine.

He asks how long an item takes
He goes over his top choices on the menu with the server, asking how long each one takes to make. Oh, and when you still clearly have a lot of food on your plate, he asks if you want to take it to go.

He turns down that dessert menu fast
He doesn’t even check with you to see if you want dessert. When the server simply asks, “Would you—” he blurts out, “We’re full! Just the check!”

He sort of offers to walk you to your car
He asks if you want him to walk you to your car. But he adds, “You’re not that far, right? You’ll be okay, yeah? Cool.”

He is cocky
He seems way too comfortable for a first date. You feel like he’s judging you to see if you are good enough for him. That’s the cockiness of a guy who knows he has a second booking to fall back on.

He tells you
He straight out tells you, “I need to be out of here by 9 because I have a second date.” This is one of the few times when you do not need to respect a man’s honesty. Order the lobster to go (on his tab) and bail.
