Been seeing a man for a few weeks. He always dresses quite scruffy in baggy clothes, some of which have holes in. He says the reason for this is that he is in the process of dieting so doesn't see the point in buying new clothes yet. Fair enough ... stuff like that doesn't usually bother me.
Anyway we went out one night, a quiet drink and cinema and although I didn't get "dressed up", I did make an effort and wore my best jeans and a nice top, bit of make-up, hair done nice etc (it was a saturday night). He turned up in baggy jeans and a black t-shirt with a dragon on the front. He told me it was one of his favourite shirts ... it was horrible and people were staring at us!
Anyway we went out yesterday for lunch and he said he was in the process of buying new clothes. "thank god" I thought to myself ... until he described a t-shirt he had his eye on .....
"It's a black t-shirt with a picture of a Phoenix on the front with a lovely 'flame' design around it"
ffs, sounds like something my 8 year old would wear. (for those that don't know, a phoenix is a mythical bird that bursts into flames and is reborn from its own ashes). V.Geeky
I admit, he embarrasses me when he dresses like this. I'm only 28, he dresses like he's either 13 or 60.
AIBU? would this put you off?
