It's his personality. Being into someone doesn't mean you control them or track their every move. He seems clingy and controlling, if you like him enough to continue seeing him, lay down the ground rules and let him know what you like and don't like about him now. Otherwise it gets worse and you are likely to see a much darker side of him one day when he gets angry.
That would be the pattern, wouldn't it?
First time a man even tried to tell me how to dress, I would tell him to go jump. I wouldn't even question it.
Babee, you keep pulling in these guys who start off strong, then get controlling, if not abusive. You need to think of what you are doing to attract these idiots, why you put up with their garbage despite the red flags that go up early on, and why you even have to ask for advice on this in the first place.
Also, if you don't want to be treated like an object, like a doll that a man can dress the way he likes, you might start by referring to yourself and other adults of your gender as women, not chicks.

I thought only men with degrading names for women called them 'chicks'.
Oh well...he's very nice and doesn't have an anger problem like everyone else I've dated so I figured I lucked out.
I know he isn't LTR material in any case.
EDIT: Yea, I call myself chick. I call my co-workers chicks too. I even use the term "chick flick". Not everything is a war in the battle for respect as a woman.

May I pry and ask what excludes him from LTR potential? Given what else you've cited here, my curiosity is piqued.

His lifestyle is just very different from mine. His life is his kids (they are over at his house 4 times a week), which is great, but I'm 26, never been married with no kids and he is 39. Now I've dated men that age with similar lifestyles to me, but he isn't it. Also, the emotional connection really isn't there for me...I like texting him all throughout the day, but I don't really care for it when he calls. Also, sometimes he acts like he doesn't know how to talk to a woman.
