Am I overthinking this…
I’ve had an enquiry for a booking in 2 weeks time - 4 hours, starting with drinks.
All seemed to be going well - he passed screening without any issues and generally the conversation via email has been super upbeat and friendly. 0 bad vibes.
After screening though, he asked me if he could send me extra money along with the deposit, so that I could book myself my own room, in the same hotel he’s staying - with the logic that: “it would be easier than getting you home after a few drinks.”
I gracefully and politely declined, explaining that I live not far from the hotel and that going home after the booking would be no issue on my end.
He then responded by saying that he’s happy to pay for it, and that it would make everyone’s lives easier?
Am I overthinking by feeling there is something sinister about this offering beyond just trying to make things convenient for me? Thoughts?

Update:
I’ve politely declined a second time, following up with ‘I have people expecting me home later that night anyway.’
Waiting for the response, which I believe should be very telling.
