and is it normal for a hook up to end with him cooking you breakfast for lunch?
Normal? Some people cook if you stay the night...I don't know...I wouldn't say it's either normal or abnormal.

i didn't stay overnight. i went late morning.

Your posts about this just sound like humblebrags that aren't even that humble.

Honestly, his insecurity, real or pretend, would be a HUGE turnoff for me. I probably wouldn't have stayed till lunch.
i am not trying to brag about it. i just genuinely don't know if it is normal since it is the first time i hooked up with someone. even past boyfriends of mine wouldn't cook me breakfast, lunch, or dinner even if i told them i was really hungry. plus i didn't ask this guy to cook for me or anything he just went to the kitchen to cook me something while i was watching tv.

Probably because he's insecure. Apparently he thinks you're out of his league, so he's going the extra mile to keep you flattered and impressed. Some are like that. When they get someone they're super attracted to, whom they thought they'd never get, they will do whatever they can to keep them pleased, so they can hang on to them.

If you like it, just enjoy. Hopefully, his insecurity may not manifest in him being overly clingy and policing you about who you're with, talking to on FB, or searching your phone.

Just seems like you're trying to find a problem where there isn't one.

Just sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Congrats, OP! You found a nice, decent guy who cares about you! Your bad-choice streak is over, it sounds like. Let's just hope he gains some confidence over time.

So, what are Mr. Barrista's ambitions, if any? Plans for education/job advancement? And yours? Or are you guys not worrying about that, and just taking one day at a time, enjoying each other, for now?
