He walked me home 30 blocks at 3am and said he lives "close". He lives in Avellaneda.

Buenos Aires. First date in Palermo went really late, subte was closed and I said I'd just get a cab. He said no, he'd walk me to Almagro because he lives "close".

Found out on our second date he lives in Avellaneda. He walked another hour back alone. Green, or is lying about it a bit weird?

I'm a bit weirded out. why not just say "I'll walk you". tiny lie but still a lie on date one

because she would've said no and he knew it. the lie is the gentleman part

he lied so you wouldn't feel bad. that's the only acceptable lie

in Japan walking someone to the station is normal, but an hour each way is next level
