My bf refers to himself, in third person? Help..?
It used to be cute to hear "You know how Nathan likes to do this.." "Nathan is tireeed" etc.. when he's talking about himself. Like wtf.. why can't he just say 'I'. Any ideas of how to break it to him, that its weird and getting annoying..
lol Mr Crankypants.. i see you're living up to your name. I don't want to remove myself from the situation, i'm head over heels in love with him. I just wonder why he does it.. like if he's afraid to put himself in a situation or sumthing? eh idk.

Most counselors would say that he must learn tohat his life works better with trust, and that only time will prove that you are different. In my long experience with working with and observing people, I have found that having the same values and faith in God makes the only profound and lasting difference. In this case, you have more than just another person to rely on: you have the One Who will never leave you or forsake you, and Who will never fail. If your bf makes Jesus Lord of his life, he can be delivered of his fears and spiritual oppression as well.

You just shot yourself in the foot in your own question. Let's dissect your question shall we??...You started liking this guy when you started dating him and all those little "weird and annoying" things he did back then didn't bother you. You opened your question with "It used to be cute to hear." Why all of a sudden is it just not "cute" anymore? He's had his whole life to build his personality and you thought it was "cute" when you started dating him...but...all of a sudden when you didn't think it was "cute" anymore, now he should stop because you want him to? A little late for that sweetie. You even said "It used to be cute." Now it's not? You can't have it both ways. You have to accept this guy for who he is because you fell for all those little "cute" things he did and still does. He hasn't changed. The only thing that changed is your mind about what is "cute"

He's just trying to be cute and funny, sad really. Sounds like a scene to me, and I know am gonna get loads of "Why you stereo typing?" But at the end of the day you all put yourself in that position, I used to. Back to the point, just tell him to shut up it's annoying you, it might sound harsh but it will kick in faster then a bullet. Good luck!

If you don't like it so much tell him that. If says he won't stop tell him you don't understand why he does it. Ask him why he does it, but asking too many question might make him angry. Just tell him he can do it once in a while, but all the time bothers you. He should try to understand your feelings as well as you understand why he does that.

He is still trying to connect to his psychic centre.This phenomenon is caused by lack of encouragement and guidance in childhood.Usually children need centering at an early stage in their lives.They need to be aware of their abilities to say I.It is often a lack of understanding to others as well.But given time he will mature and change in his quest for self discovery during this identity crisis.Don't lose patience with him,there are worst things that can happen.

OMG I had a guy that liked me that was exactly like this and I had to stop seeing him and stop all contact because it was so friggin creepy n annoying and actually made me feel sick being around him coz of it.
Tell him to stop it or leave him I say.

Everyone's different and he's not a horse to train. If you can't get over your annoyance then remove yourself from the situation or get some help!

well you could give him a taste of his own medicine and do it really sarcastically. I think he should get a hint.
my boyfriend talks like a child when he gets drunk: "i neeed you to mwake me sum fooood, im dwunk"
so I turned around one day when I was drunk and we were fooling around and said "im dwunk, dowes it turn you on when I twalk like thisss?"
he hasnt quite stopped yet but it certainly made him think!
