Doubts over new man

That’s just it. Thought I really like him and had a good few dates. Then when we’re we’re out for dinner he made some comment about eating out getting expensive ( it wasn’t an expensive place ) and he’s said before he has no money issues.
Then when sitting near him I noticed a bit of BO, sex was a disappointment and to top it off he’s decided he can’t speak to me on the phone in case my 16 year old daughter asks who it is!! I think that’s my decision who and when I speak to people. I’m feeling a bit cross at being told that

I think I could live with all of those apart from refusing to speak to you on the phone, that's absolutely fucking mental

Oh, and the disappointing sex isn't great either

@floppybit we have spoken a few times before. But he now seems concerned about dd asking. She’s absolutely fine with me dating by the way!

How many dates have you had and who has paid for them?

Peach01 · 16/08/2021 22:34

BO, disappointing sex and making a decision for you both sbout when you can speak due to your child, there would be no doubt. I'd be off at the first sniff of BO tbh.

“I noticed a bit of BO”🤢 that would be it for me.

Then he shouldn't be moaning about it being expensive if you've effectively split the expense... Unless he's hinting that he doesn't want to go out on dates anymore and wants to hang around yours or his all the time instead.

Sounds like you're done with him though, so buy him some Lynx and send him on his smelly way.

BO would end it for me. He sounds a bit weird tbh.

WilloTheCrisp · 16/08/2021 22:42

You can do far better than this!

Northernlassie1974 · 16/08/2021 22:46

Thanks everyone- I can’t believe I’ve lowered my standards so much for this one!

Sounds like enough reasons to move on

wobblywinelover · 17/08/2021 00:15

weird silly excuses for not talking to you, BO, crap sex? Bin!

user1490568447 · 17/08/2021 00:29

If you’re noticing BO now when he’s trying to impress you, I would be worried about his personal hygiene when he relaxes a bit. 🤢
That and the other things you mentioned would put me off!

Why have you got two threads running on the same subject? Is this a wind up

@Anordinarymum wasn’t sure which to post under.
No sadly not a wind up!
