I'm soo confused. He literally said to me "You're a big girl, you can drive to my place, if not we can meet somewhere." That's only half of what he said, the other things he said were simply rude in my opinion, he said things like "I'm not going to be your personal driver. If this was a date then yeah but we're just hanging out." That's news to me, considering we've been talking about going on a date the entire time. What is his problem? I thought it was the gentleman thing to do to pick a girl up? I'm so confused. And yes, he knew this was a date because we've been flirting and talking about it for like two weeks. This is an example of the "anger" issue he has, I've noticed it in other conversations we've had. Is he refusing to pick me up because of his PTSD? I'm about to just stop talking to this guy altogether.

I defer to my above post except I would change the part where I said his behavior was bordering on ******ole - he's gone into full on ******ole mode. Rudeness and wishy-washy game playing (he's the one playing games!) have nothing to do with PTSD.
If I thought he was exhibiting PTSD symptoms, I would advise you to be patient because we do get better over time with treatment, and like my husband did with me, you could learn his triggers and not take them personally. However, nothing you are describing is related to PTSD that I can tell.
I'm sorry this isn't working out for you. Move on and find someone who treats you with respect as a lady.
