A few days ago, I met this guy who is also 19 through a friend who works with him. He's got hippie-like hair (I love long hair), he's INTELLIGENT, he makes a lot of money, and he's kind.

I don't want to seem too picky, but he compliments me WAY too much. And he's clingy as hell. When I get online, he IMs me within 2 seconds of signing on, and won't stop pestering me if I'm busy, or tired. He has a generally annoying personality when he talks to me, like an over-excited puppy. I feel very uncomfortable around him, but I don't want to be picky, nor have lax standards either. He doesn't like cannabis. Scratch that- he HATES cannabis. I am not addicted to cannabis, but I'd prefer to have someone who shares a toke or two with me.

All he does is read philosophy and older stuff like that. He's too formal a lot of the times, and 'chastises' me if I type gramatically incorrect online. And he uses those stupid AIM smilies WAY too much. As intelligent as I am, I really like pop culture. I read US Weekly, and watch E! from time to time, but I am not obsessed with celebrities.

He also has a child from another relationship. Lost all contact with the mother and the child, which is kind of odd.

So what do you guys think? Should I stay and hope for him to change, or just stop before it gets even weirder?
I think it sounds like a terrible match. Look at all those damned complaints you got there....thats not a good match at all! Those little annoying things will just get more annoying.

..and he hates cannabis?

...doesn't keep in contact with his child?
