another mess....
| Tue, 06-14-2005 - 10:13am |
what have I gotten myself into now....another guy I met on Craigslist wants to meet this Saturday (we've been emailing for about 3 weeks, he lives 2 hrs away). But the conversations have really turned 'sexual' and I'm not comfortable, so I politely sent him an email saying that Saturday is not going to work, that I would like to meet someone closer to where I live and that I'm not looking for a long distance relationship. He emailed back saying that if we 'clicked' he'd move closer to me, that he wants a relationship, that he'd drive to my town on Saturday if that was the problem...way too over eager!!!!
Alittle scary..
so should I just let it go and block him ??

brutal approach sometimes work
No worries Donna – that’s why it’s a cell # with caller id – he’ll eventually get the hint.
Hi Donna,
I am so glad you aren't going to meet him! I had a coffee meet with a guy last night and what he said reminded me some of this guy you are talking about.
The guy I met with was telling me about a stalker-type girl that he dated, who right away wanted to move to his town and then in with him! He said she was a nurse and seemed normal, but he soon found out that she wasn't, after a couple of dates. After he told her it wouldn't work, she kept emailing and calling him many times each day. Finally he had to be blunt with her and she finally got the message. But he said it was very strange and not a situation he ever wants to experience again.
Weirdos come in normal looking bodies also. I wish they had some type of neon sign that would flash on their forehead pronouncing them a WEIRDO!!!
I think whenever they are so quick to want to jump into moving closer to you, seeing you exclusively right away, etc. it just can't be ignored that something is wrong with them. Sure they may be lonely, but aren't all of us to some extent or we wouldn't be doing this OLD stuff, but desperate is much different from normal! That guy was a definite deperate one!
Donna you need to say to yourself daily, "I am a great person and I deserve to have a great guy in my life!" And you HAVE to believe it! Whatever we feel we deserve in life is what transpires, so if we think we can only get loser types, that is surely what comes to us. Think the positive thoughts lady and it will happen!

Donna, If you think he's not going to go away quietly, be sure you keep his number in your cell phone for a while so you'll know it's him if he calls and you can let it go to voice mail instead of being blindsided by a call from an unknown number. I made the mistake of erasing a guy's number to soon once.... Once was enough.

so I sent him a "not meeting you on Saturday, good luck to you" type email and this was his response - " But why? What's the matter with me?".....well I think he answered his own question.
he's been blocked!!

Hi D,
Tell your good pals, then change your cell message for a day or two:
"You have reached the offices of the (your state) Federal Bureau of Investigation, personal crimes unit. Please leave your number and a short message and an agent will reply, as soon as possible. Thank You"
....just kidding, but wouldn't this be fun?
Truly,
Cupcake
