He always says "don't trip" and I don't understand...

Tagged as: Dating, Teenage<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (31 March 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 1 April 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I just started dating this guy and we have been hitting it off well. He seems to know when to be serious and knows when enough is enough. But at times he seems to act weird.

Whenever I disagree with something or let him know that I won't be around he is quick to say " don't trip ". I don't get it. How am I tripping ? So I ask him how am I " tripping " by letting him know what's going on but he says that's a bad habit that he has. Always saying " stop tripping ". Its kinda irritating because I don't " trip" . What should I do ? because I am confused. Welp...any comments will surely help. Thanks 3 (:

A female reader, Dorothy Dix Australia +, writes (1 April 2011):

Hi there. When he says that, it's like auto-suggestion. Reverse psychology.

It's like when someone says that, it kind of means the exact opposite.

It could cause some people to actually trip over.

Even though the word "Don't" is before the word trip. The emphasis is always on the word after it.

It probably is controlling in a way, for sure.

Best wishes.

A female reader, Orbiter United Kingdom +, writes (1 April 2011):

Could be he's a bit immature, not being able to talk something through if you disagree with him or if he's disappointed you won't be around. So he'll resort to that to try and end the conversation there.

Or it could be just as he says - a bad habit. So you'll either have to ignore it and don't let it annoy you....or not.

He sounds a bit controlling...I dont know if you will be able to resist his habit in the long run...What he says sounds like threats to me...
