Stage 5 Clinger: Aftermath

Hi Kids,

Well, you may notice that my blog name has changed. There is a reason for this: trying to avoid the Stage 5 Clinger.



Basically, BEFORE I even went out on one date with this guy, he kept texting me several times throught the day. I was busy, as I often am, and did not care to respond to every single message. We were going to hang out the next day, but he later said "I haven't heard much from you, so if you changed your mind about hanging out that is okay." I thought wow, dude, I only waited a few hours to text you back...and this was a Saturday, when you knew I was busy. Wowzers. Despite my better sense, I went out with him any way (Why? Because I need to learn lessons the hard way) and thought I clearly established by the end of the date that I was not feeling him but would be open to being friends (despite the clinginess from the day before, I had a really good time hanging out with him and was genuine when I said that). Apparently that didn't translate well because at first he responded saying he couldn't be friends with me for a while, and about five minutes later asked if I wanted to come over so he could make me dinner tomorrow night. Say wha??? I said no, that would make me uncomfortable, and again repeated that we could hang out as friends later in the week. He seemed okay. This morning I get an email from him calling me Babe and etc, and when I wrote back reminding him of the conversation we had last night, he said he was confused. I responded saying look, I think it's a bad idea for us to hang out because you seem to have misintepreted what I said last night. He said "I thought I was clear, it's the best idea for us to never talk again." Haha, wow, so dramatic!

Any way, as a result, I changed the name of the blog to make it harder for him to find. Note to guys out there: please learn from this and take a hint the first time. It is so painful when us girls try to be nice and we get psychoism in return. Man, guys can really learn from my horrible dating experiences :). I hate dating, have I said that before? I hope he doesn't find this new blog :).
