Turned off?
Thu, 04-01-2004 - 4:34pm
Is calling a casual male friend I just met a couple of months ago going to turn him off? I believe he knows I have a crush on him and I'm not sure if he has any real interest in me. We have gone out on a couple of dates.

I called him last night and left a voicemail message. His cell phone has caller ID and had to leave a message. It was somewhat of a negative message. I said " I called to say hi. I just found out I failed one of the exams. Just need someone to talk to. Talk to you later. Bye." I needed to talk to someone who would understand since he has gone through the same process as I am going through right now. It's a professional exam and he has also failed a portion of it before. Now I am afraid I have appeared too needy or someone who just can't handle failure. I have read somewhere that in the early stages of dating that you should not let anything negative be put on the table otherwise he will get spooked and be turned off. Could this be true in this case? I haven't heard from him yet. Any insight to this is much appreciated.
