Well, here we go again. It is Wednesday and I must say that I am exhausted. Not only physically but mentally. To line up these dates you have to understand that I have to talk to a great number of guys in a day not to mention the emailing back and forth. I think I need a dating assistant. My date last night lived 2 hours away and wanted to take me to dinner and a hockey game. I was actually looking forward to this date. I love dinner and do not go to many hockey games. As I have mentioned I am always late and I am trying to work on this, my date however was an hour and a half late. So late that we did meet at the restaurant but we did not get to eat or drink because we had to make it on time to the hockey game. As I meet him I immediately know that I am not attracted to him. He has on sparkling white orthopaedic shoes, holes in his khaki shorts, a suit shirt on, and a baseball cap. We go to the game and he is non stop talking, talking, talking, talking. I am thinking at least when we get to the game he will hush. Our seats are incredible, right on the ice. I look at our ticket and realize he has spent a fortune on these seats. Throughout the game he is still talking, talking, talking and his orthopaedic shoes are still sparking. I enjoyed the game but was relieved when it was finally over. We get back to the car and he literally will not shut up. He is talking about everything under the sun. It is getting very late and I am getting tired. So tired in fact that I doze off while he is talking, to that I get a "Hey are you falling asleep?" UH YEAH it is 2:30 in the morning. I felt like I was his therapist. Now, I took psychology in college but damn. I felt like I needed to send him a bill once it was all over. I sort of wished this was a therapy session because in a therapy session there is a time limit. As I have said I want to get to know my date but do you really have to spill it all on the first go around? Here is a little hint, if your dates eyes are shut and you are not about to give her a surprise then there is something wrong. He finally releases me and I head home.
He has called and text me all day, with me not replying. I did just tell my friend after all of this is over I may need to change my number. After not responding all day I received an email. I would re-write this email, however it is a NOVEL. Basically to sum it up, he apologized for talking so much, he enjoyed me, he wanted to see me again, he realizes that I am not interested by the silence on my end all day, and he would like for me to know that I should just tell him instead of ignoring him. Maybe that is true but do I owe these guys an explanation? Do I have to let them know anything? Maybe I could use some suggestions on this question. Is it rude for me not to tell a guy that I am not interested? I feel like my silence should say it all. Don't get me wrong, I think my therapy patient has a great heart and he was really sweet but the attraction on my end was just not there. I can't force my attraction with him or any guy and I have to start standing my ground on when enough is enough of the constant talking. I will end this by saying that I have been looking so forward to my date tonight. My girlfriends think this might be the guy. So I say that to say......STAY TUNED.

Your readers need to help you come up with some sort of standard rejection text. I'm thinking - "I just found out I'm moving to Siberia. I'll email you my contact info when they finally run out the phone lines to my cottage."
ReplyDeleteI think u should tell them ur not interested. It's not that u owe it to them or anything, but at least that will get them to leave u alone!
