I sort of skimmed through this thread and may have missed it - if so, sorry - but have you directly addressed this person's behavior with him? What were the words you used, if so?
i said that i was obviously not ready for a relationship. but maybe we could be friends. i figure giving him that we can be friends speech was a hint. boy was i wrong.
he responded with "hey, i'm not asking you to be my girlfriend. i was just thinking we can hang out as friends and see where it goes."
see where it goes?
so i said "well, i have to put that out there. because i don't want to lead you on. that's not something i do."
he responded with "chillax .. it's all good".
then he proceeded to tell me how he thought i was cute. he liked my eyes and my smile.
then he asked me what i thought about him and whether he was what i envisioned in my sleep. *gag* i paused. then i just said "no, you're a lot broader than i thought".
that was the last i ever texted.
then he replied at 5:30 am "broader? that's because i'm a real man. :)". i ignored.
at 8:30 am i get a text "wake up sunshine!". i ignored. at 9:00 am "hope you have a great day!". i ignored.
i had a kitchen design appointment. he said "how's the design appointment going with Mr. Hottie?" like wtf? this is a design appointment, not a date. i ignored.
then i get emails and i got a text the other night "where did ya disappear to?" cuz i stopped responding to all forms of communication.
