Savage Love: Is He Creepy, or Really into ->-bleeped-<-s?

Q I came out as trans-something/genderqueer three years ago. I was born male but live my life predominantly as female. I'm 25 now. Coming out involved accepting that it would complicate my ever finding someone. I haven't dated since.

My problem: today a guy my age asked me out while making me a sandwich in a cafe, telling me that I was very pretty. I gave him my number. Before I left, he said, "I'd really like a relationship with you." That sounded like a weirdo red flag. I told him, "We'll see," but agreed to the date.

I don't know the rules and I'm a panicked mess.
