I've just started seeing a man who is a friend of a friends DP so to speak. We went out for a drink a couple of times and he the first time he seemed nice and really interesting, the 2nd time he went on and on about his "uni days" and about how drunk he and his mate got one night (complete with actions etc) which I found a bit off putting.
3rd time I saw him he seemed ok again so I assumed it was just nerves last time.
Anyway we went out last saturday night and we were in this busy city centre bar and he suddenly said "do you have a lighter? I'll show you how we used to set this drink on fire when I was at uni" , I said no and assured him that it didn't matter, he could show me another time but he insisted on asking everyone around us for a light and ended up nattering the bar maid who was blatently rushed off her feet and ended up throwing a lighter at him more or less, he then tried unsuccessfully several times to set fire to his drink, everyone was staring at us.
I wasn;t too impressed at this but he went "normal" again later on so I pushed the negatives to the back of my head again.
Anyway earlier on today we met up and we were talking and he started going on about when he used to race cars and would meet up with mates who also had modified cars and they would race down country roads etc and he was saying stuff like "oh, everything about that summer was emense.." like it was some life changing memory for him.
He isnt at uni anymore and doesnt "do" the car thing but the way he goes on it seems like he wishes he still was that person...which sounds like a person I would hate quite frankly.
Do I cut my losses and run now or give him a chance?
