Had another conversation with him last night. He has a lot of great qualities but yeah this is not looking good. He brought up some childhood issues and I tried to steer the conversation away and he went right back to that. Maybe he just feels very comfortable with me I don't know.




no.
he just likes to talk about himself.
A LOT!

see what happens if you steer the conversation towards yourself. i bet he brings it back to him.

Like this...
YOU:
"i think im going to run and get some icecream"

a good conversation would have the person ask something:
what kind of icecream do you like? favorite flavor?
where do you go?
etc.

a selfish person MIGHT ask something,
but it will be a lead in to tell you MORE about HIM!
LOL.
like HIS favorite icecream, HIS favorite place,
etc.
and you wont even have to ask.

how boring for YOU!
ick!

let us know.

If anyone is interested. Had the second date with him, no there's not going to be a third. He has good qualities but I felt more like a therapist than a date.

Also he asked about the size of my ex's uhm... johnson. That doesn't seem normal either.

He's starting out with general conversation and divorce is something in common.

I would give him a chance and see what happens. If his tone doesnt change after a while to get comfortable around each other, than maybe he has some issues still to work out, and we all know that....its something HE has to do.

Good luck

But she's already given the guy three chances.

I'm the same way to an extent. I met a girl last night that I had run into once before. Pretty sure she's interested in me, but everything out of her mouth was complaining about something; how dirty the toothpicks are at restaurants, how big an ass Brandon Fraiser is, etc. Man, when I meet someone for the first time they had better not complain about crap, especially trivial crap like toothpicks at a restaurant.

my therapist has been really drilling me on healthy/nonhealthy relationships lately
(esepcially abusive ones...as that seems to be my preference..sigh...)

and one of the key things is being 'short' with misc people..like checkout girls, etc.
im thinking this complaining/critical nature would fall into the not healthy category of person.
if ANYONE'S going to complain...it should be me. LOL!
and even I know not to biiotch like crazy!

luv ya girl!
keep dating...but throw out a new line.

course...if he's paying for stuff you like to do...well....

(dont slaugher me guys! LOL! this is how the game goes...guys get to look at our tight shirts...girls get free meals...LOL! a complainy guy...well he should be lucky a girl is even sitting with him. tee hee!)

Means he has a really small shwang and is insecure about it. I have told none of my new bfs about the size of my exes johnson. As if that's any of their business.

Run.
