Soooooo...

I've been seeing this chap for about three months now. I really, really like him, but I'm put off by his lack of gentlemanliness.

Here's some examples:

We went to the chip shop. He made me give him a pound towards my meal. The chip man asked two chips and he replied no just one to share. The portion size was bullshit.

I'm on a healthy eating diet. He constantly buys me chocolate bars and really tries to push them on me. Like, I say no thanks, and he scoffs and says well I'm just going to leave it right next to you and we'll see what happens.

I showed him a video on youtube. He said, have you got any other awful videos to abuse me with.

He only walks halfway to meet me or pick me up from anywhere. If I have to get a taxi because it's late, he lets me pay for it. Oh, I think he once gave me half the fare.

We went out for a meal last night. I deliberately choose

I don't think he'll chase me down. From what I heard, I don't think he has too much respect for his ex girlfriends. I'll probably go on his list of horrible exes now.

I wonder if his exes maybe went through something similar with him? He seemed to have been wronged an awful lot.

It all seems so obvious now!

Ah well, time for wine!

Thanks to everyone who commented. I'm going to bookmark this thread to refer to if I ever feel like calling him again. :)

Very belatedly catching up, just to say WELL DONE, I bet you'll look back at your time with him in the not too distant future and think WTF was I doing?!
I hope you meet someone lovely and deserving of you (and a brilliant shag) ASAP to put this one completely out of your mind.
