Childish episodes getting on my nerves a bit

So I'm currently in a relationship. The kids are not really aware that we are anymore than friends.

So I've just been talking to him over MSN and asked if his DS knew, he said yes. He then asked "what about your DS1?" and I said "I think he has twigged on too" so he said "what about the shower curtain?"

wtf? he just laughed it off and said he was just playing but I'm trying to have a serious conversation and he just puts stupid stuff like that.

He does it sometimes whilst we're out too. Like last week I was driving and got lost so he poked a plastic dolphin thing in my ear and said "my dolphin wants to peck you" not funny when you're lost and stressing out.

I'm supposed to be staying overnight next week but not sure if I'm ready for all this daftness.

The shower curtain thing is weird, but the dolphin would have made me laugh I think.

I always think things like this are a great indicator in a relationship. If it pisses you off the chances are you may not be that into them, if you fall about laughing you are probably in love - or at least lust.

Can you defer the overnight stay to give yourself a bit longer to see how you feel?

Yes, wait a bit longer...

He may have been talking to another msn person and the shower curtain bit was by mistake, (I have done similar things when talking to two people). It does seem rather random, but then maybe you haven't got to know his humour yet.

It may really get on your nerves or you may end up liking it. Perhaps he doesn't deal too well with stressy people and thats his way of tackling and defocusing your episode when you got lost.

To be honest he sounds quite funny, but then perhaps you suit a more serious type. He wasn't really doing anything negative with the dolphin. But then I like childish uninhibited men... It would have made me laugh too.

I would just wait a bit longer-don't rush in.

He may still be feeling anxious or nervous and its an ott response to serious questions or stress, to relieve the pressure. I would wait and see if he picks his moments better as he gets to know you.

Alternativly he may be thinking that you arnt right as you dont get his humour!
