AIO best friend warns me about hinge date
So I (23F) matched with this guy (24M) on Hinge. It turns out we went to the same Uni but just never met. My bestfriends (both 23F) know of him because they were briefly in the same community but they don't actually know the guy. We clicked really quickly and have been talking none stop- the vibes are right and I am really looking forward to our date. There is good chemistry and tension and its great but one of my bestfriends said she is going to ask this other mutual (24F) between them about the guy because apparently there is some tea there.
The girl just comes back saying I should run but cannot and also refuses provide any specific information.
I don't want to jump to conclusions. Like its alarming another girl is telling me to run, but I don't know her. My best friend also is not close with her, they hung out like 2-3 times when they shared a class together. I don't know if she is a girl's girl? Because if she was, why wouldn't she like provide more details?
Also we are all ethnic. The hinge guy and I are clearly less conservative (in terms of education, idea and personality) which is why we get along because most guys from my culture can be very toxic (toxic masculinity) and overbearing. He is not afraid to be feminine and dress more alternative. But I can also see why others such as my bestfriend's mutual with him may find that more off putting.
I really want to go out with him and get to know him better but I the whole "RUN" comment is itching at the back of my head. Am I overreacting?
