This guy was great when we were alone, we have a very similar sense of humor, we had a great time isolated, but over a few months of dating I realized he was insecure. In public while dining out he would act completely different, as if he was in fear of someone judging us. I started a new career and he basically admitted he judged me until his son thought it was cool. It’s completely bizarre to me how some people require validation from others in order for them to like something. It also surprised me that an older man would care about something so trivial, something I’d expect from a teenage boy not a full grown man.
TL;DR; Obviously he felt embarrassed about me. The relationship was about 8 months.
