So the British guy from match (we haven't met yet, have tentative plans for this week) and I have been texting a little. I've made a concerted effort to just go with the flow and not come across as a Stage 5 Clinger.
Anyways during texting I mentioned my Keurig broke and I was researching new coffee makers. He asked how long is had it and I said 3 years. He then proceeded to tell me to buy a new one, replace out dirty parts and then return it to the store. He said if they question me"deny,deny,deny".
It really rubbed me the wrong way, what are your thoughts?

Yep, I would have cancelled. That's super sketchy and why would you tell that to someone new in a serious manner? Seems like he was showing him true colors, yuck.
Follow up question, do I tell him why or do I just not respond to him? We do not have a "set" date, just a tentative day.
Didn't he ghost on you previously? I can't remember who posted about that. Anyway, I might just tell him you don't think you're a good match and leave it at that.

I guess he didn't technically ghost, we went from texting a lot to then not hearing from him for a few days.
I think I'll follow mp and let the contact peter-out and if he's still persistent then I will let him know.

Ew. I hate people who are always trying to "game the system." Or men who think they've discovered sweet life hacks, but really, they're demonstrating a complete lack of integrity. Gross. I don't want to be with a guy who is always trying to hustle someone.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

I don't think it would be too bad to mention it casually, since he's already made it clear that he wasn't joking. Something like, "Your suggestion about returning my coffee maker was a huge turn off. I really don't see this going anywhere."
But you definitely don't owe it to him. And he'd probably just use that as a heads-up to not expose his sketchy nature to the next girl, rather than amend his ways and say, "Oh, yeah, maybe I shouldn't be such a scheming douchenozzle!" So on second thought, maybe you shouldn't mention it!
