potential suitor has made his own 2015 calendar with photos of him every month and highly airbrushed posters of him around the house - warning signs right?

So last night I stayed over with someone I have had a few dates with. Saw the house for the first time and nothing unusual (if not a a bit boring) . Anyway he had large blown up photos of him around the house, he's been trying todo a bit of modeling and these were professional photos. They were obviously heavily airbrushed like the cover of a magazine. Also on his bedside table he had made his own 2015 calendar and every month contained a photo of him.

Aibu to think this is warning signs of narcissistic guy best avoided?

Well firstly you have to meet him one more time to ask for a copy of the calendar. Bet he's got a box of them under the bed.

Then you keep in a place for when you're feeling a bit sad and it will always make you smile.

Run like there's no tomorrow. A friend of mine had a picture of himself in is sitting room. It was like the Holbein picture of Henry VIII, legs spread apart hands on hips. His behaviour towards her did not surprise me.

Was October like this but with multiple photos of him?

I thought he had made you a calendar! As a gift Grin

Chardonnay73 · 02/06/2015 09:11

I once heads guys how's very keen on me send me a calendar of him doing kickboxing poses,one for every month of the year ??
I think it was meant to make me weak with desire ??it had the opposite effect and made me mildly hysterical every time I looked at it. It became something of a party piece in my family, " ooh have you seen Chardonnay's boyfriends gift to her?"Grin
I've still got it somewhere, it was too good to chuck, the menacing expressions, the too tight trousers showing his wares ??
OP I would run and run and when you get there run some more !!!!

Chardonnay73 · 02/06/2015 09:12

"I once had a guy who was very keen on me " even ??

ghostyslovesheep · 02/06/2015 09:13

no for Halloween we need this Grin

SylvaniansAtEase · 02/06/2015 09:14

so not sure if the face is important for this

-OP, have you ever considered a career in the diplomatic service? You would excel Grin

VanitasVanitatum · 02/06/2015 09:14

Given your nickname ghosty I'm a bit worried about that pic!!!

tethersend · 02/06/2015 09:15

More red flags than Lenin at a semaphore convention.

Chardonnay73 · 02/06/2015 09:15

Hello ghosty! Looking forward to our weekend ???

pieceofpurplesky · 02/06/2015 09:19

I need to go to work! OP you must go back and find out what else he has - does he have a locked spare room??

flora717 · 02/06/2015 09:20

How many mirrors were in this house?

jay55 · 02/06/2015 09:20

Yavvvu to not have taken pictures of the pictures for us to gawk at.

Nettletheelf · 02/06/2015 09:37

When are you seeing him next? We will prepare a list of questions, and things for you to photograph.

NickiFury · 02/06/2015 09:41

Oh dear oh dear.

I went out with a bloke once and when I would get up go to the bathroom or to go to work he would kind of arrange himself on the bed with the cover artfully draped over himself, with a slight pout. Think 1980's Athena poster Obviously I was supposed to find these totally irresistible. All these years later and that's the thing I remember about him and cringe.

Idontseeanydragons · 02/06/2015 09:49

An FB friend of mine does this with his pictures - changes it every month to a new picture of him in various states of undress posing moodily.
Granted he has a great body (I mean really bloody great!) but it's a good job he's also a nice guy otherwise I would just think he was a narcissistic arse GrinGrin
Run OP run..

Spotifymuse · 02/06/2015 09:58

You mean you don't all display your Boudoir style shots of yourself in your living rooms ? Grin complete with lilac silk lingerie and a strategically placed feather boa.....

DextersMistress · 02/06/2015 10:04

This is brilliant. Any chance you could have another date op and take some pics for us? Grin

fakenamefornow · 02/06/2015 10:13

Is the calendar for sale? I might like to have one myself, please ask him op.

HellKitty · 02/06/2015 10:17

I'm thinking George from Seinfield with his boudoir photos. I want to think Athena but can only see him Confused

VivienScott · 02/06/2015 10:19

I used to model many, many years ago. There is more chance of me putting up a picture of cow dung than one of myself even from my modelling days. He's an oddball, run for the hills!

Pico2 · 02/06/2015 10:24

Where do you see your relationship going? Could you live with him and his pictures? If you can't imagine doing a "him & her" calendar then it's curtains for your relationship.
