Is this too demanding?

Hi, I recently started seeing a new man, we have slept together a couple of times but I think I rushed into it. I don't regret it because it was good and what I needed - having been a single parent for ages.

But he I saw him last night he was 20 minutes late meeting me in the pub. I didn't have a go - just tried to call and said I wasn't sure he was turning up. Anyway he did but seemed to take offence.

In bed, all was ok till the morning but when he wanted to kiss me he had 'morning breath' and I wanted him to clean his teeth which he did reluctantly. Then when my 5 year old son came in he didn't look up to say hello to him. I was upset as for my son to see me in bed with someone is quite a shock but he was fine about it.

Later on he stayed till 2pm and was great with my son, taught him how to ride his bike etc but made a few comments about me being demanding. TBH I can be quite demanding but didn't think those things unreasonable???

When he left I said, it'd be good to see him again and he agreed but arranged no date.

Anyway feeling a bit unsure about things now...

Agree, morning breath is beyond nasty, but I would say 'ooh, don't snog me, I've got morning breath. I'm just going to brush my teeth'.
And hope like hell that he followed my lead

The morning breath thing is a bit harsh.......surely in the early days you fancy the other person so much that doesn't matter? I can see why he was maybe a bit hurt by this. Maybe just try to make your reactions to things a little less obvious?

he knew I'd cleaned my teeth and had offered him my toothbrush though...

I dunno about fancying someone so much that those things don't matter because even if I really fancy someone I still couldn't snog them if either I thought my breath smelt or his did. I just couldn't and I really wanted to.

Oh, well maybe next time make him a cup of tea and that wil get rid of it

No, neither could I Alice,he could be Johnny Depp, but with morning breath - noooo! and in all truthfulness I'd probably have given him a spare toothbrush (or given him mine and told him it was a spare!!) and said 'Oi! No point me doing mine if you don't do yours'.

well I'm glad someone agrees! I just don't know how anyone could snog even the man you most fancy in the world with bad breath in the morning!
