Issues with new guy

That’s just it. Thought I really like him and had a good few dates. Then when we’re we’re out for dinner he made some comment about eating out getting expensive ( it wasn’t an expensive place ) and he’s said before he has no money issues.
Then when sitting near him I noticed a bit of BO, sex was a disappointment and to top it off he’s decided he can’t speak to me on the phone in case my 16 year old daughter asks who it is!! I think that’s my decision who and when I speak to people. I’m feeling a bit cross at being told that. AIBU?

Well he doesn't sound great...

ComtesseDeSpair · 16/08/2021 22:24

He doesn’t sound like a keeper, does he? Nothing wrong with saying that eating out is expensive - it does all add up. The rest of it, not worth sticking around to deal with. Tell him you’re not feeling the chemistry and and move on.

Chuck him back...

ttcsucks · 16/08/2021 22:25

Hmmm, I'd run if I were you before feelings get any stronger. Doesn't sound great.

MoiraRose4 · 16/08/2021 22:25

What’s your AIBU? He sounds awful - dump him.

Pottedpalm · 16/08/2021 22:25

You decide.

Notimeforaname · 16/08/2021 22:26

Ugh, I hope you're planning to get rid of him??

putthebinsout · 16/08/2021 22:26

What? Why are you pursuing this?

Cam001 · 16/08/2021 22:27

Well isn't that what dating is about? Getting to know someone to see if you're compatible. Looks like your not, so count yourself lucky you haven't wasted much time on him.

Notanotherone89 · 16/08/2021 22:27

Thanks for all the replies. It’s the phone thing that’s got me the most.

Seriously 🙄

HellonHeels · 16/08/2021 22:32

Surely the BO and crap sex should have been enough to call it a day?

JulesCobb · 16/08/2021 22:34

Most of that is reason to move on in a new relationship. But this… when we’re we’re out for dinner he made some comment about eating out getting expensive Is he paying every time / the majority? Eating out is expensive.

KatherineJaneway · 16/08/2021 22:35

I noticed a bit of BO

He'd be binned the moment I smelt that not to mention being tight.

Unanananana · 16/08/2021 22:38

Put him in the bin. Next!

Notanotherone89 · 16/08/2021 22:39

@JulesCobb we’ve taken turns to pay

Ugh. I’ve got the ick and I’ve never even met him. Ick-by-proxy, if you will.

Anordinarymum · 16/08/2021 22:41

So you had a date and he had BO. Oh my word. The dirty git didn't shower.

Bin it

ThinWomansBrain · 16/08/2021 22:51

BO - Yuk
are the expensive meals preventing him from buying soap?

arethereanyleftatall · 16/08/2021 22:54

I don't really get why you've made a thread about this. Just dump him and move on.

Notanotherone89 · 16/08/2021 22:55

Rereading this I can’t actually believe it!! I really liked him so lowered my standards I guess..

OP posts:
Goodthings · 16/08/2021 22:57

I hope you didn’t have sex after you smelt the BO?

SheilaWilcox · 16/08/2021 23:15

Voted YABU because you thought you liked him but he has BO, disappointing sex and already thinks he can tell you what to do with regards to phone calls.

BIN HIM and raise standards.

Aquamarine1029 · 16/08/2021 23:42

Fucking hell, the phone issue bothers you the most? 😐

He sounds gross and annoying. Raise your standards.

Notanotherone89 · 16/08/2021 23:42

@SheilaWilcox definitely will!!
