I have been dating this guy for about two months. At this point, he is wanting to be a serious couple and I am not sure if I want to. There are some things about him that I dont like and there are some things that I do.

I am just having a hard time figuring out if I should give the guy a chance or hang it up.

Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Good: He is cute, has a stable job, funny, great in bed, very sweet, plays guitar, and likes my kids.

Bad: Likes Nascar, doesnt do housework or laundry or cook, and can only talk about music, Nascar, and politics.

Ugly: I cooked dinner for him one night at my place and he didnt bother to ask to help out. And after dinner, I asked him to help clean up, and all he did was put away leftovers and sat back down on the couch.

Now, what I need from you, do I give him a chance, or hang it up. You know that old saying, "you cant teach an old dog new tricks" keeps going through my head.

If you are having to ask, I think that you are truly doubtful if it will work. Weigh all options and then decide. Good luck

dont settle

I agree with fran - if you are asking then you already know!!!

try talking to him...ask him where he stands on helping out around the house in a relationship..you already sound doubtful so if you don't like his answers..don't settle,put him to pasture and find someone else.

Nascar? And you wonder why he doesn't do laundry/dishes/cook. And he only talks about music? Wouldn't that be difficult, if you were discussing the mating rituals of wombats? You asked him to clean up, but didn't specify the how exactly you wanted him to help. He did help somewhat, just not as much as you had hoped. So I say you sit the boy down and air your grievances like you have here, and see if he's willing to acknowledge and at least try and change.

yay turtle power!!!!!

he just sounds old school thats all!

Yup. Agreed.

If you are unhappy, tell him and not us. Give him a chance of compromising with you. His responses will tell you what you need to know.

I agree, communticate with him, let him know how you feel, give him a chance.

Thanks gang!!!!!!

I did express to him how I felt about sharing housework 50/50. A few of my friends get the impression that he's a Mama's boy.

Oh well........................NEXT

That would be enough to send me running out the door. More than enough. Especially the Nascar part.

I wouldn't want to be with someone who couldn't talk about the things I want to talk about, and vice versa. Communication is a key, and it has to go both ways.

Good answer

well sounds like most men to me...lol... if you are unsure though... dont go any futher.. just make sure however that the grass is greener on the other side if you break it off..

just remember..like a dog...he needs to be trained.. just talk to him and tell him how you feel!

Good: He is cute, has a stable job, funny, hates nascar, LOVES doing housework and decorating.

Bad: Can't hold a tune, has his mom do his laundry and cooking, and can only talk about fashion, showtunes, and Rosie O'donelle.

Ugly: Horrible in bed, as sweet as a salt lick, hates that I have kids.
---------------------

Now if these were the reasons, would there even be a question? Well, besides his sexual preference.

If he is not liveing with you??? Then he may just be shy,,,

Nope, he wouldnt even have gotten a second date

That is not old school,just lazy Mommas boy.My mother and grandmothers would have kicked my butt if I had tried that crap and woman can be the same way,so men are not the only one who do that type of things.Life is suppose to be a partnership is the way I see it,not a one way street.People who cant help one and another get things dune so both can relax are just users.But hay this is just my opinion

i concur

if you feel that certain twinge in your heart it might be worth the go, but sit down and talk to him about what he won't do for you becaause, if he really loves you........ he will give the effort to be better for you and your needs....you are a tremendously special person, and very well worth it baby, i know this, if he is a chain breaker, he will do this for you, rather than loose you,....and i hope he makes the right choice, because, you are one of my very best friends, and what you have to offer him is very rare indeed, and could make him eternally happy. so if you need me to swat him to see what he's really got...say the word, baby
