Sounds like textbook NPD, particularly his backstory.

Should I text him back if we've each ghosted one another for a month at a time and had great phone calls before even going on a date that didn't go well? Please read post for full context in c/[email protected]

You mention gender role stereotypes but then fall prey to one when you clearly think you should be served first because of your gender. If you don't believe in equality and would rather stick to ancient and out of date traditions that's fine but perhaps he is a bit more progressive and you are not well suited to each other.

It's ok for a woman to pay, it's ok for a woman to suggest a second venue, it's ok for a woman to make the first move. It's not 1950 any more.

Regardless, like others have mentioned, having this much to question after one date isn't a good sign.

Should there be a UK Minister for Men? in c/[email protected]

When you look at support for things such as physical/emotional/financial abuse against men then it's painfully lacking which can be devastating. This alone is a lot more widespread than you may think. Whether this warrants a minister is another question but there are areas which desperately need attention and it's unfair to say just because women get the shitty end of the stick in general that men are not in need to support too.

Same for all daws for me. I tried to get along with foss ones but they pale in comparison. Ardour crashed a lot for me, especially when the project got large with many plugins so I moved to reaper and had no such issues. On bitwig now and I can't really think of anything even comparable that's foss, let alone easier/better.
