Yeah, I kept thinking about that story and every time, I come to the same conclusion--a nice guy wouldn't act like that, plain and simple. Eat a piece of toast if you're hungry, don't bitch about it! And offer to help someone who's overwhelmed, don't complain about what an inconvenience it is to YOU that they're overwhelmed! What a butthead...
And like they say around here, when you're new to each other, that is likely the BEST he's got to show you. Yikes, who wants to stick around for the plain-vanilla, everyday stuff if THIS is his idea of putting on his best face for you?
