jaded_grinOkay, so now I remember why I don't date! GRRR!! So in my pool PT (I am in the Army folks, it happens) this person comes up to me and asks me if I would go on a date with them. Now, slap you in the face meanness isn't really my thing, I'd rather snipe you from a building, so I say ok and decide to feel it out. My date is a 46 year old with marriage on the mind and a strong inclination to settle down. Now, I am not (even at my greatly advanced age of which I look about 23 years) ready to settle down, settle for, or settle period! But while I was busy trying to explain this once I realized what the obvious intent was, the other person was busy trying to decide what they were going to say next about their fabulous niece, and so my "no ways" got translated to "maybes" or even straight-up "okays" Seriously, couldn't get a word in edgewise. I no sooner say how jealously I guard my free time than they're asking me if I want to go on a four day trip to the city (NO! I CERTAINLY) don't do overnighters, thanks), incessantly asks when they're gonna see me again, tells me that my presence is really truly wanted and that it is just fate that I was finally found. Found. Found? I was never fucking lost, man! I am not a rude person by nature, but to drill through this layer of density I had to be, but even with that no-uncertain-terms, "I am not looking for a mate, for a spouse, even for a lover, I don't need an extra friend, I don't mind going to movies alone, and I LOVE my life and don't want any of it to change!" they were still, "Okay, I'm not trying to change you--would you like to do lunch this week?"

Maybe he should check his ears for fungal growth. >[
