Okay let’s dive straight into what happened last month. Honestly, trying to date that September Virgo guy was… an experience. I thought I was prepared, but man, I underestimated it.
It all started pretty normal, coffee dates, texts. But then September hit, and whoosh, felt like a switch flipped. First off, the nitpicking went into overdrive. We met for lunch at this casual burger place. I sat down, ready to order, and bam. He pulls out a pack of those antibacterial wipes – not just for his hands, oh no. He starts meticulously wiping down the entire table surface, the arms of his chair, even giving the menu a once-over like it was radioactive.
The Reality Check Moments
- Obsessive Cleaning: Like the burger joint thing wasn’t a one-off. He’d rearrange items on my coffee table if he came over. Mentioned the “dust levels” on my bookshelf more than once. Felt like living with a very judgmental inspector.
- The Over-Analysis Paralysis: Picking a movie? Forget it. He’d need to read summaries, check three different review sites, compare runtimes, debate the director’s merits. What should’ve taken five minutes turned into a half-hour spreadsheet presentation… for a streaming movie.
- Suddenly Super Critical: He started offering “constructive feedback” on everything. My driving route? “Inefficient.” The pasta sauce I made? “Needs more precise seasoning measurement.” Even how I folded my laundry got a silent eyebrow raise. Felt like nothing was ever just… good enough.
- Cold Shoulder Vibes: He got super stressed about some work thing. Instead of talking, he just shut down. Texts went from paragraphs to one-word answers. Tried to ask if he was okay or needed space. Got hit with, “I’m fine. Just focusing.” The emotional wall went up so fast it gave me whiplash.
The final straw was right before his actual birthday. We planned a simple dinner. I wore this new dress I felt great in. First thing he says? “That neckline seems impractical for the season, no?” Not a hello, not a compliment. Just critique. That was it. Done.
So yeah, I did the thing. Called him later, politely said this wasn’t working for me. He wanted to “analyze what went wrong.” I just said, “Nope. Thanks, but we’re done.” I just blocked him everywhere. Best move ever. Felt lighter immediately.
