This guy im dating works for a major tv network, they were taping a show where gene simmons from kiss would be a guest and they needed some people to wear Kiss makeup- 4 people to look like Kiss to just sit there and cheer him on.
The guy im dating is going to dress up in kiss makeup as Ace Frehly, he asked me to be on the show with him as Paul STanley in makeup,, I thought it was a fun idea then i started thinking about and thought it could be weird, everyone i know will see it and i dont it to be played for years where everyone says :hey remember when u dressed up as paul stanley,,"
So i told him i wont be doing it, he started SCREAMING AT ME and said "I CANT BELIEVE THIS, PEOPLE WOULD KILL TO DO WHAT I INVITED YOU TO"
i mean was this very bad? i just asked him to get someone else because i feel weird about it, he basically hung up on me.

he's not jealous.
he was probably really excited about it -- he thought it would be something really special and unique for you two to share. in deciding not to do it, you've disappointed him and made him feel like you're backing away from him, especially since you initially thought it sounded fun.
screaming at you was an overreaction, but you've probably hurt his feelings pretty badly. if you decide to go through with the dressing up after all, you'd probably enjoy it a lot. if you still feel weird about it, the least you can do is be really excited that your boyfriend has the chance to do it. cheer him on, brag about it to your friends, etc. acknowledge that it really is a special, unique opportunity. that's what he wants from you.

Just be aware that every looks at each opportunity in life from their own perspective. While he sees it as a "chance of a lifetime" you see a possible down side. It is unfortunate that he doesn't understand your point of view. If you have calmly and unemotionally conveyed this to him, then he still reacts as he does, then maybe it is a good sign that you and he may not be good for dating. You did nothing wrong to take a stance and do what you think is best. Stand by your convictions and don't compromise in something that you feel strongly about.

Doesn't sound good on his part. No man should ever disrespect the woman he loves by forcing his decisions on her. It's called a relationship, not a dictatorship. Is he the kind of guy that would give you a picture of himself for a birthday present or say to you "don't turn me down, there's a lot of women who are waiting in line. Baby girl, love goes hand-in-hand with respect, he should respect your decision and learn to not get angry just because you made up your mind for yourself and didn't let him do it for you. I surely hope you aren't dating a control-freak, they can get violent as the relationship progresses and they see they need to gain the upper-hand by force. If he really has a heart, show him this question you posted and he'll feel like a heel. If not, run for cover (no joke).

I dont blame you for not wanting to do it, I mean they were hot in the 70's but since then...well I guess thats a matter of opinion
Your date seems to have some issues either with anger or being a rock star wanna be
If he doesnt call back, its not a big loss...trust me on that one
Declining to make a fool of yourself on TV is not a reason to get screamed at.

Bag that! Going to see Kiss is like checking out a museum. Sure the dinosaurs were cool and all in their day, but you don't see people still trying to hang out with them now.

I don't understand you either. It's not like someone can pick you out of a crowd while your wearing Paul Stanley makeup. I think you screwed up. My humble opinion.

No, you didnt do anything wrong.Simmons and his buddies are weirdos, and I wouldnt want to dress up to look like some demon want to be.I may like music but I dont worship the ground those musicians walk on.They may be rich but when you look at their lifestyles and problems, ....sheesh.What a bunch of Losers.

People die to be on TV. Your lucky to ever date a guy that works for a major TV network. To be in your position is very lucky. I mean, I would want to be on TV anytime and regardless of how you look, look at the publicity your getting, plus the money. hehe

He sounds like a bit of a control freak. And just a little psycho!
Be careful there. That relationship could get dangerous.

he probably thought he was doing you some favor. or he couldnt find anyone else to do it and thought he could rope you into it. maybe he's gonna get in trouble now because he said he had it all lined up.
