Sugar daddy wants to hang out again!

So, I went out this evening on Date #2 with "sugar daddy" (though I might have to come up with another name for him after tonight) First, I met up with one of my girls for dinner and wine at Stonehome Wine Bar and then we went across the street to Moe's, this local watering hole because I decided to have the guy meet me there. I'm really curious to see what she thinks about him....After a few drinks, I told him that I was tired but he insisted on hanging out a little longer. He wanted to go to Two Steps Down, where he had forgotten his glasses on Sat. night when we went over to wish his friend who was turning 60-something a Happy Birthday (his friend is also a bachelor...are you seeing a pattern here?) Now, I must insert my $.02 here and say that most of us would have called the place or stopped by a lot sooner to inquire about our lost property but I guess it wasn't a pressing situation, though he seems to need the glasses to see on a daily basis! He was so delighted about finding his glasses that he decided that we should have another drink and some appetizers. After that, I thought we would end the night but alas, he now wanted to go to Red Bamboo for yet another drink (maybe he's trying to show me can hang out late!) But seriously, at that point, I was thinking "either he really likes my company or he thinks I look good on his arm" We get there and order drinks, at which point he mentions that "his budget is a little light" and I'm thinking...ok...he's got a serious budgeting problem. How does someone go from dropping $100 dollar bills a few days ago (and leaving $20 tips) to counting singles in his wallet?? I also found out earlier in the evening that he doesn't really like to use his debit or credit cards (mind you, I'm not clear that he actually possesses them) due to the issue of fraud and identity theft. I understand this concern but I don't know a whole lot of people that walk around with a lot of cash on hand, esp. in NY. After that, we finally headed home in a car and the car dropped me home first and then dropped him off. As I was exiting the car, I leaned in to give him a friendly kiss on the cheek and he went in for a kiss on the lips...of course I had to deflect that really quickly. Needless, I'm NOT ready to go down that road!! So, on the advice of some of my friends, I realize that I might be hitting a bump in the road, which is WHAT AM I GOING TO DO IF HE WANTS TO TAKE THINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL?? He's already mentioned travelling to Las Vegas and the Caribbean adnd just taking time off on a whim to have a good time. He has 400+ hours of vacation time accrued (I have like 10.5 hours accrued to give you some perspective) Also, even though he's a sweet guy and has some interesting moments, about 70% of the time, I was bored and losing interest in the conversation and of that, 30% of what he said was stuff that he had mentioned in a previous conversation. So, my friends, I'm in a dilemma because I'm not sure how long I can keep up this charade.
