Sure I Understand... but where does that leave me now?

The weekend was a roller-coaster. It was good, it was a little bad, and I'm thoroughly confused at where to go from here.

Othello took me to meet his folks. They were very nice, quiet, and polite. He was concerned that his dad would "oogle" my body, so he suggested that I wear a blazer. It was fine, but we virtually had to "have words" before he explained that he just didn't feel close to his father and didn't trust him to not make a fool out of himself in front of me.

It was also nice getting to know his friend Holland - someone whom he dated, but did not have any sparks with... they are essentially best friends, and she's a riot, as are her friends. And they like me (yay!).

On Sunday, we went to the Bay Area for a concert. I've always heard the best way to get to know someone is to travel with them. He's fine to travel with, but Othello had, what I can only refer to as an "explosion" when we were readying to leave the concert.

Someone prevented us from joining a line to get free stuff. He proceeded to flip them off, curse at them, and generally go off like a 12 year-old. Impressive? Not so much. I can't figure out if he was trying to "protect his woman" or if he's really a stark-raving-lunatic?

-- okay, coming back to this post over a week later...
I hated that antisocial behavior, but at the same time, what can I do about it? Watch and observe. A few things over the past several days have irked me. But the difference between O and everyone else? I can talk with him. He can talk with me.

We've each confronted eachother about separate things over the past few days, and our communication lines are wide open. Othello is on notice regarding his behavior at the concert... but what else can I do to figure it out?
