This takes talking about yourself in the third person to a whole other level.

It's bad enough when your date talks about himself in the third person.  Actually, it's bad when anyone talks about themself in the third person.  But, when your date refers to different aspects of their personality by their own names, that's a really bad situation.
This is a dramatization:
"Dr. Jeckell appreciates beautiful flowers and loves his mother and the Catholic Church.  Mr. Hyde plays in bands and likes sports cars and partying."

You have to imagine him leaning on his car and smoking while he says that, of course motioning to the car while mentioning "sports cars."

My internal monologue went:
"No, my boss has a sports car (Porsche).  You have a Civic with some blue metallic paint and a spoiler."
