Would this have embarrassed you or am I being daft?

[KnifeNFork]

Sitting in a 'fish n chip' resteraunt type place with relatively new "boyfriend" for want of a better word. Not a posh place, not a scabby place, just "Nice" iyswim?

So waitress comes across and asks if I'd like gravy, curry etc with my fish and chips. I asked if the curry had sultanas in, she said yes. I said "oh, I won't have any then, thank you".

Well, bloke gasped and started shouting quite loudly "IS THAT TRUE??? YOU DON'T LIKE SULTANAS??? NEITHER DO I!!! ISN'T THAT STRANGE!! DO YOU REALLY NOT LIKE THEM??? ISN'T IT WIERD HOW WE BOTH LIKE SO MUCH OF THE SAME STUFF??" waitress just raised an eyebrow. I sank into my chair and mumbled something about gravy.

I was so embarrassed. Point is, only reason we 'like so much of the same stuff' anyway is because he copies everything I say!

But besides that, was I being ridiculous to feel embarrassed by his excitement at me not liking sultanas??

I think you are so on edge about his excitement at planning the day out because you just don't want to go - whenever/where-ever - you don't really want to be there with him.

I wouldnt waste any more of your or his time on this relationship as its not going to get any better.

I think he sounds really sweet, what is wrong with being called a special lady anyway?

me and my partner get a bit like that with things, like we get all cutesy over thinking the same thing or lame stuff like that, but I quite like things like that - obviously you don't lol.

as everyone else has said, dump him now and let him find someone who will appreciate his soppy overkeeness (is that even a word? lol)

I am sorry, I cant get passed the having gravy or curry on your fish and chips
LOL

After 'going with' my BF for a short while I really went right off him, various things, I started to think how to dump him. Glad I didn't year on we are still together and I realise now he was just trying to hard and that I also had to learn to tolerate other people more and that I couldn't just mold them to suit me. (ExH was a spineless bastard who agreed with everything I said and just said waht I wanted to here while doing the complete opposite anyway). So it took a bit of adjusting I suppose.

Have read this whole thread and now really want some chips with gravy. Or curry sauce. Can't decide. Why do I only get cravings when I am not pregnant??

Umm anyway... yeah, agree with the others, you're obviously not a good match. I think if small things are irritating you this much, it's a problem - better to end it sooner rather than later as well

Or as a last chance kind of thing, do you know any of his friends well enough to ask and find out if he's likely just nervous and he might calm down in a few weeks time?

KnifeandFork - how was the weekend??

he's a wee bit over-eager isn't he? like a big bouncy puppy of the labrador type - just wants you to LIKE him, no really, LIKE him lots and lots cos he just likes you lots and lots too.

It might wear off if you give it time. If it doesn't, you might grow to find it endearing. Or you might kill him with a butter knife.

lol qod moi aussi

scuse twat french
k'n'f you sound like the sort of person that lots here complain about as a partner
time to be nice, end it, and regret it later when you are stuck with an utter bastard
