Boyfriend left me hungry right to be annoyed?

My boyfriend took me out for dinner and he filled up on loads of starters. So we order starters first and then dinner. He decided to order more starters X2 and I had a couple of little things. Then before I could order a main he said he was so full he can't eat anymore.
I was shocked as I really wanted a main meal and said I was still hungry. He said ok order it but I didn't want to be the only one eating.

I said I will ask them to pack it up to take home. But the waitress was taking so long and he kept saying he's tired out and full and want to go home. He wouldn't let it go. So we ended up going. Then asked why I was in a mood and I said I'm still hungry. I was too annoyed to go buy food from somewhere when he just paid £80 for starters and drinks.
Then we went home he fell asleep and woke up a few hours later.
I am still really disappointed he did this and I told him. He offered to order something for me but I said no. I was too annoyed to eat even though my belly was rumbling.

I know I should I have stood my ground and told him to wait for me to eat but I didn't. I just felt like he acting like every other guy I've been with who didn't care about my needs.

I’ve never heard something like this in my life. I’m generally more concerned about the girl than myself.

Anyway, forgive him, and though I’m sure this is not the case, look back to see if you’ve done anything like this to him in some other manner; maybe he’s trying to pay you back. If not, then keep observing his behaviour for a few months, and if similar situations come to be, consider having a serious conversation with him, and potentially letting him go.

Though he could definitely change, selfishness may lead to him to tighten up resource for you, and also your children if you’ll have any, but must dangerously he could cheat.

A relationship is more about giving than receiving, so this is quite a bad sign.

He could have changed but you could have also pushed back and accepted his offer to get you more food. You were just hangry lol. If he is showing the same signs of every other guy you broke up with, then surely it makes sense to break up
He's selfish and inconsiderate.
Someone who cares about you does not act like that.

Tell him to take you out again, and he's going to wait on you to finish eating. Let him pay the bill and then dump him.

I think it’s six of one and half a dozen of the other. It was a bit rude of him to get so ahead on starters, but he did offer to get you a main, which you turned in to quite a bit of fuss. See if you can sort you differences out

i think you may have missed the point where it was mentioned that he paid 80 pounds and OP did eat a small amount.

The OP even admits that he told her to order so she's annoyed that she didn't get a full date.

It may not be the grand date she imagined but if the guy isn't feeling it, she can't be too ungrateful since he paid. It may suprise some women but there are times we are tired and just want to go home to bed.

I know what I read.

She wasn't ready to leave and the boyfriend was a whiney lil punk who wanted to go home because he was full. She wanted the date to continue and she wanted a main dish. He ruined the vibe because he was satisfied and that's all that mattered. He could've waited. Whinning because he is full....what kind of man is that. Go take a dump and come back your girl is hungry.

I don't blame her for just leaving and being annoyed ...who wants to sit with a full grown man crying because he's full and wants to go home. Total mood killer.

Use him for another date, run the bill and then dump him. He thinks he's a princess.
