Been seeing a man for a couple of months. He is very sociable, loads of friends, goes out every night, drinks a lot, stays up half the night. Everyone seems to know him wherever he goes. He is a larger than life character. He is the complete opposite of my type if I had one.
I enjoy a good night out but I am the kind of person who hates attention and I am relatively clean-living these days.
I have started to think this is a non-starter. Can you really be compatible if you are so different?
It's not so much the difference in personality that is the issue (he is fun and kind and keen on me) but our lifestyles are so different. Even if I wanted his social life I am not at the stage in life where I could join him (I have young dc.)
When he talks about some of his antics, it is the lifestyle of a man 30 years younger and I find myself not approving.
I told him that I didn't think we were compatible and he said he wanted to cut down on his drinking and settle down a bit but I'm not sure if he means it,
Should I give him a chance and see how it goes or is this a non-starter?
