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??

cant be arsed to read 18 pages but to answer your question.

no i dont think he will hurt you.

i think he will tie you up and then kill you slowly before burying your body under your patio.
he will then don a wig, assume your life, and tell everyone you moved to Mexico.

hope that helps.

turnigitonitshead · 22/05/2012 00:09

read it in t'morning vicar you will enjoy it

IneedAbetterNicknameIn2012 · 22/05/2012 00:24

This thread was fairly sane earlier actually it was fucking weird even then but it has got weirder and funnier as time has gone on!

OP, I seriously don't know anyone who would go on a 12hr 1st date with someone on tinternet! Maybe my friends are all boring?

Olympia2012 · 22/05/2012 00:37

Sosinglemum what ate you going to decide to do? Lots of advice here

CRIED with laughter at 'ask me a question only a woman would know the answer to'

don't know if it is actually that funny or if it is a cumulative sort of thing as I work my way down the thread?

NicNocJnr · 22/05/2012 00:44

I haven't had a chance to read all of it but by the looks will have to tomorrow!

Is it actually great sex though or just better than you've been having.

Quite frankly I couldn't let such a pathetic gimp hole put his dick anywhere near me.
I imagine tomorrow this will all become clear as I read the history...?!

NicNocJnr · 22/05/2012 00:50

Wow....ok not even half way through and wtaf?
Case of mentalist magnets I think which will either end in stabby, murder sex or one of them will wise up. Probably the imbecilic needy one if you can decide which one that is

Empusa · 22/05/2012 00:55

I have to admit, I'm a sucker for goth men. Have no problem with weapons on walls and wearing of black... but brandishing hammers? Think not.

I can believe someone like that exists (have been chatted up by them) but the OP seems a little OTT. Surely no one is that mad to put up with that level of idiocy?

izzyizin · 22/05/2012 01:21

He's an attention seeking control freak.

Does he pose a serious danger to your life? You won't know until he lamps you with a hammer or despatches you into the hereafter by means of another method.

If you reckon the 'great sex' is worth the risk, I would suggest you at least up your life insurance so that your dc are well provided for in the event that your skull becomes half of a pair of bookends.

anyfuckersfanjo · 22/05/2012 02:15

SingleMum, have you asked yourself, if this bloke was so desirable, has a great job and a great house, has a pretty face and a 9 inch cock and knows how to use it, why was he single ? Was he waiting all the years for you to turn up ? Dig into his history and his interests a little bit. Personally, I would run from anybody who has even slightly odd behaviour. Having said that, most serial killers are normal men who would hardly raise suspicion. Men who bring on the attention are mostly harmless.

izzyizin · 22/05/2012 02:34

You come across as being more than a tad naive, honey, and I'm beginning to suspect that the 'great sex' is down to a departure from the missionary position.

As for keeping you up all night, if he's not keeping it up all night celebrating your yoni you're best advised to make your excuses after you've had a shag and go home to grab some zzzzs.

Why are you still defending him OP? What's the point of posting if you're not going to take any advice onboard?

Though I do applaud you for this hilarious thread Grin
