For being pissed off about acting as "trophy" for bloke?

When I first met the bloke I'm seeing he made some shit excuse about needing to pop into Asda for something. I followed him in and he darted straight towards the back of the store where the bread etc is and was looking around all the time. Finally he "bumped into" his old work mates and very quickly told them that I was his girlfriend. we left the shop with nothing so it was obvious the whole point of going in there was so that he could do that.

Anyway he let it slip a few days ago that he's been distributing my photo around his family and friends and they're all commenting on how "Lucky" he is because I'm "really pretty" etc (their words, not mine). I just kinda cringe when he re-tells me.

Then yesterday I'd been for a job interview, we'd been for lunch and then he said "You look so lovely today ... " (in suit, make-up etc) and he then suddenly said "oh, just remembered, I have a voucher for asda, I'll just pop in there ... "

Needless to say he headed straight for the bread part. I realised what he was doing and ducked away when he wasn't looking and headed back to the fruit, then watched from a distance, ammused as he panicked and looked around for me when he found me, he tried it again "oh, I'll just have a look down here ... (bread ailse, where his old work mates work) " and so I followed him so far then disapeared again. He finally gave up and decided he didn't need anything from asda after all.

I feel like he's treating me as some kind of trophy. AIBU to feel pissed off about it?

I think we're all being a bit mean to pass judgement on the poor chapatti time like this. Have pitta on the poor fella.

From the sound of the OP's last post, he's toast.

JosieMiller · 24/04/2009 10:02

ROFL

lol at xenia missing the point totally

gagamama · 24/04/2009 10:46

I'd go against the grain and just leaven him.

zookeeper · 24/04/2009 12:26

Is this still going? Should we wrap it up

zookeeper · 24/04/2009 12:27

He's got no mannas lol

solidgoldshaggingbunnies · 24/04/2009 12:29

If he's got no social skills why are you dating him? How desperate are you?

YanknCock · 24/04/2009 12:34

YANBU. Dump him and let him bag(el) someone else.

edam · 24/04/2009 12:40

bag(guette) someone else, surely?

YanknCock · 24/04/2009 12:42

Think baguette was used already. Besides, Americans love bagels!

slug · 24/04/2009 12:48

Is he good in bread?

PrimulaVeris · 24/04/2009 12:50

He wants to have his cake and eat it

Tell him there's Naan left

JosieMiller · 24/04/2009 12:54

Merrylegs · 24/04/2009 12:57

Is this thread still running?

Crumbs.

JosieMiller · 24/04/2009 12:58

oh stoppit!!!

PrimulaVeris · 24/04/2009 13:03

You're not just his bit of crumpet, you know

YanknCock · 24/04/2009 13:07

Perhaps we're being a trifle hard on the guy. Does he have any good qualities, like a rye sense of humour?

JosieMiller · 24/04/2009 13:08

oh stop
i am feeling shit I cant think of any good ones

BottySpottom · 24/04/2009 13:08

I know it sounds seedy, but as long as he is genuine and wholemeal wholesome I don't see what the problem is.

Has he got lots of dough?

BottySpottom · 24/04/2009 13:11

Some of the other posters' comments are very rye. I think you should try and butter him up before the relationship goes stale. If you bread bin him, you'll only have to loaf around at home.

Spotty:

Warning: His friends look at you sympathetically?!?!

Prediction: He is a serial cheating game playing control freak stalker who will treat you like a possession to show off, ie a new car. Oh - he already is!

Solution: RUN FOR THE HILLS AND DON'T LOOK BACK! He sounds like a fruitcake.

ChocFridgeCake · 24/04/2009 13:13

I speak from experience. Don't say you weren't warned.

Does his name begin with S??!

BottySpottom · 24/04/2009 13:13

PS: Has he got nimble fingers?
