The continuing saga...

[auntiemeesh]

To those of you who are new to the flist, here, Welcome! and please know that I don't usually obsess about men. That only occurs about once a year, but when it does occur, the obsessing is full-on. Sorry to you had to join in the midst of the annual freak-out.

Speaking of which...

I should be studying. Instead I'm all riled up because Mr. Medical Physicist couldn't just take his walking papers like a man. Instead he had to try to convince me to give him another chance. I don't really want to deal with him anymore but I agreed to talk to him again on Saturday - not go on a date, just talk on the phone. I made him no promises beyond that. Grr! If only he was more like Rodney. I'd probably only see him once a month and he'd never think to compliment me, and I'd be happy as a clam.

Anyway, la la la, happy thoughts, blue skies, etc.

What's up with b_briarwood? Is she okay, does anyone know?

Okay, back to studying, now.

fwiw... we are taught that persistance is a virtue, and [by demonstration] that the words that women use don't necessarily mean what you think they mean. You have to tell him in no uncertain terms and clearly that you are NOT playing hard to get, his persistance will be rewarded with anger, and that there is nothing to be won. Simple, straightforward and in his way of speaking. Don't try to spare his feelings by tapdancing, say the truth. While I don't know him, I am going to guess that from the moment you say these words you will have to have no contact at all with him. He will take any thread as being possibility... There are a lot of guys out there that find the chase more exciting than anything, so you cannot relent... my opinion only, of course...

also? learn how to take a compliment, because you are worthy of them.

I'll keep that in mind. I've been trying to be as direct as I can possibly be with him, but I suppose I'll have to try harder.

As far as compliments go, I like getting compliments, when they are about things that I like about myself. I have a harder time accepting them when someone is praising something that I see as a weakness or flaw. Another thing to learn to just accept, I suppose. :D

Well, so long as you limit it to a phone conversation, it shouldn't be too bad. If worse comes to worst, remember you are your mother's daughter. You, too, can impose the 5 sentence rule! ("Well, poor moron, it's been really nice talking to you, but ... .")

I like that phone approach. I might just use it. "Look, moron, I've had my say, now I'm done. Goodbye."

I sympatize! Men never can take no for an answer.

This is the first guy that I've attempted to dump who flat out refused to be dumped. It's a new experience. It would be flattering if it didn't piss me off. :D
