Hey world.
Welcome to my ridiculous problem. I’ve been seeing a really sweet guy for a little while now. We get on well, have enough in common and he brings out the best in me. We laugh, we dance, we shag real good.
The downside? He is a musician and man alive, do I know it. He also seems to love the sound of his own voice. I’ll expand: any gap in the conversation brings the focus back to his writing or gigs he’s arranging or music he likes or thinks I should listen to or that he is creating (it’s a genre that I can never get on board with which definitely doesn’t help... he’s not a bad musician, it’s just really not my cup of tea). Also, not to be a total cow but he has five songs in his repertoire, yet is constantly practising/telling me about when he’s next practising. I am not digging it.
I am regretful to say it but I am genuinely losing patience. I feel bad but when I try to mix up the conversation, it always comes back to “I spent the day writing”, “I have a great idea for a song”, blaa. And when he meets someone new he launches into a 20 minute story (not exaggerating at all) of his musical life that I have heard countless times.
I get that he is confident, which is great for musical success and putting yourself out there. But fuck me, it’s getting old.
Any advice on how to tell him he bangs on about himself too much?
TL;DR: the guy I’m seeing is great, except that he always talks about the same thing no matter how much I try to mix it up. I don’t want to lose him, so how do I tell him to cool it on the job talk.
