He's into himself
I met a guy at my gym, and we've gone out a few times now. The crazy thing is that he just turned 22 and I am 28! I had no idea until I asked him the 2nd time we went out. He just graduated college and started working, but he is very confident and mature for his age. He was an athlete in college and he's very active, and to top it off he is very tall and gorgeous. So, I got a bit irritated when he was telling me some stories as we went hiking on our 3rd date. We're both working in corporate america, and I'm pretty senior in my field, which he has expressed he's admired. So anyhow, he told me he was visiting some of the different branches and the women there said why are you working here--you should be model. First of all, why in the world did he need to tell me that? Obviously, I think he gets complemented a lot and may be used to the attention. I wasn't really impressed with that comment albeit I didn't have any negative reaction, but apparently he thought the story was so funny he had to tell me. I on the other hand, don't like to brag, although I am used to complements as well. Just haven't gotten one from him yet, physical that is (we mostly see each other in our gym clothes.) All in all, he is an A type personality just like me, we have great conversations, and we have fun with each other. But the ego thing is bothering me a bit. How should I approach a guy that knows he's hot and gets a lot of attention, and also has a stroked ego for going out with an older woman?
