What was all that about

Blimey ! At the end of my tether with this old lark. Started it about ten months ago had a few dates that came to nothing.. Then started seeing someone for a few months really liked him and it turned out that he was seeing someone else alongside me :-(..
Had three dates with a nice man. The dates were quite short a few hours each time. Kissing but nothing else .. He seemed very keen texting a lot .. I have just been on my holidays. Been out on a date with him tonight and he went off about how he didn't think we would be seeing each other at all if he did t do all the running. He said he thought I was too laid back about him. All I said was that I wanted to take things slowly with him due to past being let down by other men..
He pointed out to me that I had not texted him when I landed on my holiday !! I was settling in to place and no signal.. I did text him once I got a signal later .. Felt like he was throwing all his dolls out the pram .. We just cut our date short as it was so awkward after he said that.. I've dodged a bullet here haven't I ?

Definitely dodged a bullet. Clingy as hell that says to me. Don't be dismayed, sounds like a lucky escape from them all. At least this man has shown his true colours xxx

He sounds like a right idiot!

rosieliveson1 · 11/09/2015 22:23

Why would you text him when you landed?!
I think he'd have been very needy. Bullet well dodged there!

Lightayendoftunnel · 11/09/2015 22:33

He said we were on different pages !
I hardly know him and wanted to take things slowly !!
He was peeved as I didn't text to say I'd arrived on hols ..
He said he approaches each relationship as a blank canvas and I should too... With those comments he ruined the night he said come on let's go just because I got a little exasperated and tried to tell him he should chill out and he was over thinking things ..!! I have never had anyone say stuff like that before to me.. The more I think about it yes I have had a lucky escape Shock

He said he approaches each relationship as a blank canvas

This has given me visions of Tony Hancock in The Rebel.

Was he wearing a beret and waving an artist's brush around when he came out with the above pronouncment?

Thank your lucky stars he didn't ask you to pose for Aphrodite at the Watering Hole or take you to see beetroot coloured Ducks In Flight Around the Eiffel Tower Grin

Well done for cutting the evening short and ditching the pretentious twat without further ado.

He sounds like the sort that wants to get his wick dipped with minimum effort. Twat.

A bloody big bullet wrapped in a large red flag.

Dunno about being on different pages - different books more like! Run for the hills...
