Dating/early on. Better to ditch now or wait it out?

Daft dating question...

I've been seeing this guy for a month or so. We get on well, have lots of chemistry and overal he is sweet. But...

I think our values and overall attitudes are quite different. I'm really into politics, run a website (writing about it etc). I mentioned it in passing last week and he scoffed at it and we had an awkward sort of debate where he told me that women and men are equal now so people should stop going on about it and the same goes for inequality/people who're struggling etc.

That's fine but I'm very involved in a particular party and run that website in my spare time it then feels like I have to hide quite a big chunk of myself/what I'm passionate about. I'm also training to be an Occupational Therapist so it's sort of a running theme in my life (and most of my family's - all teachers, social workers etc).

And he's made a few comments that are just a bit Hmm (funnily enough also about women, pretty laddish stuff, a touch of double standards etc).

I know it sounds daft but besides that he's quite intense and it's at that point where I think if we carry on seeing each other someone might end up hurt. Would it be jumping the gun to stop seeing somebody based on that? I've not dated in so long. I can't remember what to take with a pinch of salt and what the signs of a disaster waiting to happen are Hmm Grin

A bit of a differing politics's viewpoint is that a bad thing?. Perhaps not.

BUT what is important here is that you don't FEEL happy with him and that's a big bye-bye, and now!.

That's how I feel blueshoes Smile Thanks.

And I had actually seen him on POF a week before I met him on person (didn't bring that up though Grin ).
