I agree. I’ve just now sent him a text saying, “Hey, sorry for not getting back to you for a few days. I appreciate that you kept me company at the wedding, but I have a lot going on right now. I’m trying to focus on myself for the time being. Again, thank you taking my mind off of things for a bit. But I’m just not interested in meeting anyone new right now.”
He replied with, “Oh. Right. So, if I get back to you in a few weeks, do you think you’ll be ready?”
And I replied with, “No. Sorry. I’m not interested and I’d appreciate it if we go our separate ways.”
To which he said, “Did I do something wrong?”
Me: It’s not like that. I’m just not interested. We’re both old enough to know sometimes you just don’t click and it’s really no one’s fault.
Him: Why did you give me your number then?
Me: I gave my number to a few different people that I met at the wedding. It was a friendly gesture. Sorry I didn’t make myself clear to you sooner.
Him: I don’t understand where this is coming from. I thought we had a good time. Now you’re treating me like I did something to you to deserve this.
Me: Knowing my stance, how would you rather I handle this?
Him: I would rather you give me a chance. I like you. If you go out with me just once, I know I can change your mind.
Me: Bye, Jason.
Him: Really?
Him: I know you think you’re mature for walking away, but you don’t know the first thing about me. All I’m asking is for the chance to show you. How is that bad?
Him: One date. Coffee. Ten minutes.
I really don’t know what to do now. My coworker is with me and she’s telling me not to block him. Silence his texts and calls but don’t block him. Let him embarrass himself and say what he has to say, and then send it to his sister in case she doesn’t believe me.
This is getting out of hand.
