This is probably petty, but isn't it kind of presumptuous to call someone after only having two dates with them and leave a voicemail that says, "Hey, it's me..." I just heard this on my voicemail and cried out "OH NO, not the 'hey it's me'!" This makes me just want to run the other way.
It was from the guy Michael who I am really into, but I still want things to go ultra slow..lol...
I just recently had another guy (that stalker guy I posted about a few weeks ago) say that all the time to me as if he was the only guy im talking to. bad experience all together.

Seriously, is that normal...would you say, "hey it's me" on a guy's voicemail who you've only gone out with twice?
sigh...

Oh, I had to laugh at your post...not laughing at you but a laugh of recognition. I wouldn't like that "it's me" thing early on, either, but I was mostly laughing at how I go, "oh no" when a guy I like engages in "pet peeve" behavior. Like the first time the guy I've been seeing called and didn't leave a message--I *hate* that, LOL. But I'm trying not to let it bug me too much--so if you otherwise like the guy, don't hold it against him TOO much, ok ;-)?

Sheri, I'm glad I could give you a good laugh. :-) So far that was the only "oh no" moment with Michael! He's a sweetie. I'm seeing him again tonight ...this'll be our third date! :) Now, I kinda like him saying "It's me". Things are looking pretty good with him.

Funny... my ex-bf used to leave his name even after us dating for 5 months. No matter which way you turn, things can be weird... LOL
