I realize I really hate to describe things in life as a good old cliche but yet again, I'm being pulled into that direction by a message I got from a dude I'd just told, again, I'm not into dating and relationships as of now.

The message is as follows:

"U know... I hear u... Sometimes I don't think I'm in the right place for dating or relationships either.. I had a BAD break up in the spring time about 2 months before I started talking to u. But I think you are an interesting person. So if u would be open to taking it light and starting off as friend I'm totally down with that. And perhaps that would better for me too. Would u be open to grabbing a cup of joe with me?"

Where's the nearest cheese grader so I can run my face on it? Dude, I flat out told you no three times. Why do guys keep doing this? I am passed the stage of mild annoyance and more into the comedic aspects of this guy's bravado of going in for a fourth time after the emphatic no was shoved forward. Any ladies have this happen to them recently?

Yes but mine was different this guy has been trailing me since I joined Wants to meet, determined to meet, tells me what a nice guy he is, what a great lady I am, when the meet shows up he doesn't show always a great excuse. Told him today I am guilty of giving people more chances than they deserve but when I'm done I'M DONE. don't think he gets it when I came on site tonight there he was on my profile again. I am normally a very nice person but my evil twin is about to take over God help this dude, if she catches him he is history

So.......you are saying there is a chance eh?

PLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEE

gather round pull up a stool in this run down bar for a fine cup of pity and a angry game of pool over how others won't heed a no...

hehehe...

guess some haven't realized yet there are no rules in life, and anybody can do anything they wish...

the bigger question would be why does one first think others are "supposed" to do all one self wishes and wants.

.

Whelp

yes op but after the second or third time ...I don't answer and sometimes just block if to persistent ...

You women are lucky to have a man begging for a date...They never seem to ask me even once

Been there as well, similar stuff... Then I learnt (from reading, experience and men) that you shouldn't be subtle. Men don't get subtle like we do. So give it to them straight. No emphatic stuff.

Women are far more subtle, we also understand subtle, and the right - direct way - to tell a bloke off, feels horrible and extremely rude to us women.. So if you feel awkward, you prolly did it right. If you feel okay about it, you likely were way to subtle, and he won't get it.

I once had this guy saying "You make me sound like a stalker and I'm not!" (I had been too subtle with him)
My reply: It is bluddy well beginning to feel like you are! I'll give it to you straight: I am NOT interested!!"
He got that message, never bothered me again..

If that don't work, block 'em.

So, you want a man to beg you for a date?

Women can be subtle and direct, you can't be both. I'm always direct. Just like with this guy. I just feel more annoyed than awkward because it was a phone # thing and some dudes get text/call happy when you give them the green light.

In fact I told him this straight up to which he laughed at me: "If you don't hear from me on a consistent basis then I am no longer interested." The problem with this dude was, he thought he won. Some guys take their bare back hunting a little too seriously.

Yes indeed, am lucky when the notifications sound alert wakes me well into the twilight hours. You don't wanna be stalked, especially to avoid inner loneliness confrontations alone.

Is this a brag thread??

Ok, we can skip the friends part, let's just have "benefits". :P

I wanted to see if Joel would get jealous.

The story, for me, was too funny not to share.
