Hey everyone... first off I want to say I'm new so there's that :)

 

Anyways... I've been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 months now and I have come to notice he's very self-centered. Like I'll tell him: I just got 10,000 points in Just Dance! and he'll say something along the lines of: I'm sure my score is much higher. Or I'll ask him: How are you so tall? (as a joke) and he'll say: Because I'm an athlete. He plays tennis and volleyball and he always says: I'm an athlete. It really bugs me.

 

He also has told me he doesn't depend on me or anyone else for anything. He makes everything into a joke. I'll be discussing something serious and he turns it into a joke. I told him this bugs me and he said he'll stop, but then I feel bad because he's just a joking kind of guy and I take things way too seriously...

 

We really like each other and have many things in common, it's just his self-centeredness can get a bit much... Advice?

You've been together 2 months. That is virtually nothing. If you're already getting bugged by things he says and does then he's obviously not the right guy for you. Listen to your gut.

stop picking guys on height alone?

I am sure their are nice tall guys out there.

Or nice short guys.

 

These sorts of things are his personality, especially by this age. You can try and cock off to him and knock him down a peg. Beat him at something and rub it in. Find his insecurity and punish him when he gets too conceited.

 

Though, that is not so healthy and breeds competition, but it seems like that is what he thrives off. He wants you to be submissive.

He sounds like a fun guy.

I miss the Narcissism here.

 

You should work on being more secure in yourself as a person, rather than trying to control him
