I've been going out with( if you could call it that) someone for 9 months. He usually comes round to my house and we have a drink although he drinks most of it because I don't really drink and talk although he does most of the talking. He has never made a move on me, never compliments me and doesn't notice me. Yet he still wants to keep seeing me and does things for me like fixing broken things in my house or bringing me food. I even asked him how he felt about me but he dodged the question. I don't understand what's going on. Does he just not fancy me?

Tomatoes make you gay? He'd have been blocked and out of my life even if he ticked all the other boxes with that comment!

youvegottenminuteslynn · 21/06/2021 18:46

Next time he mentions the tomato thing, perhaps you can ask if he has a 'sauce' to back up his beliefs?

I suspect he would correct your spelling rather than get the joke though Grin

pinkyredrose · 21/06/2021 18:49

He seriously believes the Earth is flat and eating tomatoes makes you gay Grin Why haven't you got rid him by now?

Opentooffers · 21/06/2021 18:56

If he's an anti-vaccer too, you have your get out, tell him you couldn't possibly risk sharing a tent, or your home with him and he shouldn't travel either.
I do hope this thread is a windup and just a bit of fun, because, well, if you put up with this specimen for 9 months and still need to ask, your lunatic radar is broken.

ChristmasFluff · 21/06/2021 19:48

I'm looking for a cheap handyman - just how much drink does he consume?

Less than £20 worth and I'll take him off your hands

Have you kept him around for 9 months because your home was in serious disrepair?

But yeah, don't go wild camping with him. You might not come back. Who knows what mysterious rite he has planned that involves the blood of a virgin (or, at a push, someone who hasn't had sex for 9 months).

MarshmallowAra · 21/06/2021 20:39

He sounds absolutely fkg bonkers.

I would t even advise trying to stay friends with him.

And I have no idea why you hadn't ruled him out as a prospective boyfriend because he's a lunatic.

MarshmallowAra · 21/06/2021 20:41

He's need to be doing some serious work on your house to make up for having to watch him drink, listen to him yammering on (about anything let alone his insane beliefs) etc.

snowbiehamham · 21/06/2021 21:09

This is not a wind up I assure you. When we met up the first time I suggested we go for a cocktail and he asked me what a cocktail was.

snowbiehamham · 21/06/2021 21:12

I also asked him his age and he said 47 or 48. He didn't seem to know which.

@snowbiehamham

He also thinks we're in the Endtimes and the second coming of Christ is imminent.
Oh come on. No one is this daft, silly or desperate.
youvegottenminuteslynn · 21/06/2021 21:15

What the...

Is he an amazing shag or something OP?

Because he sounds like an absolute weirdo.

Onthedunes · 21/06/2021 22:32

I agre with @ChristmasFluff, sounds good value for getting the jobs done in the house.

Maybe he thinks you are his dominatrix, next time he comes pop a gimp mask on him whilst he knocks up your next shelf, that should stop him sprouting all kinds of shit.

Onthedunes · 21/06/2021 22:33

Spouting Grin

Regretsy · 21/06/2021 22:57

Thank you OP for a) making me laugh and b) reminding me not to leave my DP and dive back into the dating pool anytime soon.

AnomalousChallenge · 21/06/2021 23:00

Would love to read the thread he might start about you OP Grin

BonneMaman77 · 21/06/2021 23:23

So there is no chemistry and you find him weird (sounds it!).
He hasn’t made a move and your question is what?
Do you want a relationship with this man? Why?!
Do you just want sex?
Do you want to stop being is whinge post whilst he drinks your wine?

As you’ve told him there is no chemistry but happy to have him around for a drink and a chat, it might be that he’s friend zoned you.

NCnotmyusualone · 21/06/2021 23:29

I’m guessing he’s a JW right?

Anordinarymum · 21/06/2021 23:31

@snowbiehamham

He won't do as a boyfriend that's for sure.
He won't do. End of. What a plonker :)
winegivesmeahangover · 21/06/2021 23:40

Sorry op but I’m crying at this, especially imagining wild camping with him. Has he never tried to put his arm around you - or cuddle you at least?

Opentooffers · 22/06/2021 00:06

This 47/48 year old sounds beyond weird. Too odd to be true actually. I wonder if he's actually taking the piss, just to see for his entertainment how much you will put up/go along with. He does know how old he is, that's just been said for effect. He's also a drinker who has never heard what a cocktail is? I think he maybe has a warped sense of humour and is testing you, just to see how gullible you are perhaps.

Hopingforabagofbuttons · 22/06/2021 00:14

So the Earth is flat ,eating tomatoes make you gay, we’re in the Endtimes and the second coming of Christ is imminent.
What part of you would actually want this crazy mofo as a partner. Move on .

me4real · 22/06/2021 00:28

eating tomatoes makes you gay!

I laughed out loud lol!

I would be a bit scared of this amount of weirdness TBH, and the chemistry is so last century thing was creepy, like 'you say you don't want to shag me but that doesn't matter we can shag anyway.'

As to camping, I don't think I'd want to be alone in the wild with him.

Starlia · 22/06/2021 01:30

Seriously why would you want a relationship with this lunatic? Flat earth? I've just lost all respect for him and I have never met him. And I'm not giving up tomatoes for anyone!
No way would I be alone in the wilderness with him.

ShirleyDab · 22/06/2021 22:15

You're going to end up a bad smell in his attic if you're not careful, op.

anunexaminedlife · 22/06/2021 22:53

Where has the tomato thing even come from? I just googled it to see if it's a niche view amongst fucking weirdos but the only link I could find is about tomato purée improving male fertility.
