Do you think he will hurt me?

I am newly and unexpectedly single, separated for a while but ex-dh only moved out 6 months ago so I am fairly new to dating. Ex-dh was first boyfriend so not very experienced.

Have started seeing this guy. Sex is fantastic, we began the relationship as a friends with benefits thing as he is a bit younger than me and doesn't want kids, fine with me and scratches an itch till I find someone more suitable for long-term. But this guy is a bit of an oddball and has been doing more and more things and I can't figure out whether he is not safe to be around or just messing with me. I only see him on weekends when I don't have my kids, he has never been to my house and does not even know my address.

A couple of times he has hidden behind the bathroom door so when I come out it makes me jump. Another time I was coming out of the bathroom and he was brandishing a hammer. He said he was putting up pictures, and there were pictures on the floor, but he never got around to it and I didn't see any nails, I just had the feeling he was doing it on purpose to scare me. He has cooked for me twice and both times has loaded the meals with as much fat as he possibly can, food fried in stupid amounts of lard, with gold top milk and cream and alcohol added. He told me one of his girlfriends put on two stone in six months when she lived with him. He's skinny and I noticed he ate less than half of his portion. He makes a big deal over the fact that he likes offal, raw meat and black pudding and is a huge attention seeker, when I am with him he is really wearing, he wants my attention all of the time, even keeping me awake most of the night and not letting me sleep. If it wasn't for the fabulous sex I would have run, would like to stay for this but I can't figure out whether he is a harmless attention-seeker pretending to be a dark and dangerous guy or whether he is actually dangerous. He drinks like a fish as well, has no friends (he says), wears black all the time and has decorated his house with weapons (he has good job and own house). He texts me all the time when I am not with him. I feel I don't have enough experience to evaluate him...my head says run but my heart wants the attention / the intimacy / the great sex.

Your opinions please??

but according to previous posts, you have only seen him twice, and he has cooked for you twice...

HokeyCokeyPigInaPokey · 21/05/2012 23:37

It's like watching a shit film, I know it's shit but I can't stop watching because it's just too funny!!

BupcakesandCunting · 21/05/2012 23:37

Skull in the bathroom now is it? For fuck's sake. I'm off to bed.

singlemum2012 · 21/05/2012 23:37

and you are the reason those of us with numbers in our screen name are viewed suspiciously. FFS wanders off muttering

mcmooncup · 21/05/2012 23:37

Without having the pain of reading all your posts......you say in the op you are newly single.............but then also say you have been single for a long time..................just saying.

Am I the only one waiting up for the punchline?

singlemum2012 · 21/05/2012 23:39

ok....I don't want to say too much as trying to stay anonymous here (I mean who wants to own up to sex on first date?), I've been separated almost two years but ex-dh only moved out 6 months ago and did not feel I could have a public dating profile while we were still sharing same house. so dating has only been a recent thing.

@AnyFucker

MNHQ are you fucking following me ?

Do you wear black, wield a hammer on your delete button and eat offal, Olivia ?

I am beginning to suspect you of stalkery shenanigans

I am channeling MrsDanvers tonight. The L in my nickname is from SamuelLJackson in Pulp Fiction Just so we are clear.
izzyizin · 21/05/2012 23:39

What happened to the girlfriend he fattened up? Does he keep pigs or have a large Aga?

singlemum2012 · 21/05/2012 23:40
