Would date a fussy person?

I didn't want to say snob but picture a person that is fussy about absolutely everything
ie:

  • wouldn't set food on a chain/high street restaurant but orders from uber eats and deliveroo from places he never ordered before so it is a gamble (the inconsistencies I have observed it might me snob rather than fussy...)
  • knows a lot about wines and has a wine collection and says that when someone tastes the wine in a restaurant it is only to make sure it is not corked - not to decide if they want it or not BUT last time we went for dinner he asked to taste a certain wine and made such a 'sing&dance' trying to figure the wine out and questioned the waitress so much (not rude though), she clearly didn't know as much as him, but he was behaving as if we were at a wine bar and he wast talking to his wine mates and then ended up choosing a different bottle (but he had checked the wine menu before hand and said it was not good and the restaurant didn't understand about wine

I'm all for having high standards but also very easy going, if I'm walking around and I'm hungry, I'd rather go to Wagamama then go home and order from a random place

Would I fuck. Fussy people are incredibly tiresome.’

No. I don't have enough time to waste on making a three act drama out of something as straightforward as eating in order to accommodate ' high standards'. I've no interest whatsoever in wine either so to have to sit there while someone faffed about with it would bore and annoy me. I'd also be embarrassed because men like this invariably insist on wine faffery everywhere they go, even when the 19 year old behind the bar is thinking they're a massive twat.

So yesterday we were eating chocolate with pistachio in it and I said with the shee·ow pronunciation and he corrected me to tue keeo-o pronunciation like the Italians

I just did a quick search and pronouncing the shee·ow is not wrong at all

Thar is the kind of thing I’m talking about

It's a NO from me after that comment.

I really couldn’t be bothered to put up with all of that. You have far more patience than me, he sounds lacking in self-esteem and making up for it with needless pretentiousness. I like good wine, I like good food, but I also like a man who wouldn’t baulk at getting a 2am egg burger from the local death wagon after a night on the tiles. Up to you if you want to put up with this!
