Let's Just Be Friends

[EvianBaby]

I thought it was universally accepted that the above phrase is the polite way of saying 'I have no desire to ever speak to you again'.

After two dates with one guy last week and a request for a third on Saturday I decided he wasn't my cup of tea, so I said let's just be friends.

Cue a barrage of texts along the lines of 'did I do something wrong?' 'is there someone else?' 'I should have paid you more attention shouldn't I'. It was two dates. TWO!

eeugghh, I always attract the weirdos.

I'm telling you this partly because I'm bored and procrastinating and partly because if I disappear off the face of the earth you'll know who to tell the police to suspect.

Think I might spend the evening making up some home made pepper spray and training the cat for personal protection.

[queenofmean]

Just tell him that you didn't feel that spark with him and that he should try and move on.

But once you have trained your cat, can you train mine

After the 7th text my reply to him was fairly blunt, to say the least. But as I've had another today it seems to have not got across. He's clearly a total nut.

The idiot can't even master the cat flap, so I'm doubtful of protection skills.

[ummmm]

Seems he can't cope with rejection. I bet his mother didn't cuddle him enough.

I expect your addictive.

[EvianBaby]

He did tell me she's onto her 4th marriage so maybe you're onto something Ummmm.

[albaqwerty]

Evian, tell him to naff off :-)

[EvianBaby]

I've got enough of my own desperation, I don't need someone else's ;)

[yobanfa]

say you have found someone who isnt needy lol

[ummmm]

Triggs...definitely not.

[Svejk]

Alba, nice to see you. Suspension over then?

[snags]

''I decided he wasn't my cup of tea''

Bland, seriously lacking depth and left a nasty taste in your mouth?

[EvianBaby]

You know him then Snags...

Saying 'lets just be friends' can actually lead someone to think they still might be a chance - eg -well she must like me, to want to be friends, but maybe doesn't fancy me (yet) -or maybe I just wasn't treating her how i should -if you really don't want to see anyone ever again then politely refuse a further invitation and ignore any other texts.

[albaqwerty]

sorry Evian

wasn't suspended svjeck :-) Had to top up dongle, pain in the botty so it is

[EvianBaby]

I didn't want to hurt his feelings. I've ignored him today.

[ummmm]

He clearly knew what you meant by the messages he sent.

[Smowball]

Not really taking the hint is he, bless. And all because you were trying to save his feelings.

[EvianBaby]

I really think he might not be the full ticket.
