If he is like this so early on, ditch. He has issues, not your problem, move on.

For some reason, some men get it into their heads that their status is so attractive to women that it must be guarded at all times from the squealing low earning female hoards that will ravage the wallets of unsuspecting medium earning men.

These men are known colloquially as "narcisistic little fuckwits" and are generally best avoided.

I'm not sure I'd describe him as a lovely guy, he sounds like an irritating arse.

He sounds like the sort of person who is happy to pay for stuff (and can afford to) but makes a big song and dance about doing so. I can't bear people talking about money, especially not how much they have Hmm.

I'd cut my losses quickly if I was you, before he accuses you of only being interested in him for his money, etc!

You are not wrong, this is an issue. He is being weird about money.

I went on a date with a man who didn't bring his wallet into the pub on the grounds that he drove so he had spent the petrol money! When I mentioned this, towards 10.30pm, that I had been buying all the drinks so far, he then went and got his wallet and bought dinner for the entire group.

Issues!!!

He sounds like a twat, at this stage of the relationship he expects you to pay for all the phone calls?

I agree that people who talk about money are crass and tiresome to be around.

Honeysucklerose · 07/03/2013 18:44

Dont know why he thought I and said I have lots of money it is blaring obvious that I do not and am just your average Joe if he thinks I am shallow enough to be after someone for their money after being on my own all these years working hard and being a parent then he has another thing coming!
