He is definitely not the right guy for you,  I will give you one hint with men....tell this fella straight up you only want to be friends or less....we do not take hints well.

BTW, nice guns!!!

 



thanks.  and yes I will be straight forward....

McFuzz - 2011-01-09 9:29 PM In his defense, he was sitting across from you, and if I were sitting there, I'd be so mentally overloaded that what my mind wants to say and what comes out of my mouth would likely be worlds apart. 

Don't change because of him. 



awww that just made my day - I had a rough day yesterday (assaulted in Trader Joe's when shopping with my sons -and yes actually HIT) so this made me smile....

No, we don't. Even "I just want to be friends" means there may still be a chance to get laid.

here is what I wrote:

"I should also be clear that I am really not looking for more than friendship - as you have ascertained, my life is quite busy - we are still in transition from Boston, still in boxes still without much (really any) furniture, I am busy building a practice, doing media being a single mom and getting back into training - a VERY important part of my life that is absolutely non negotiable.

I get the impression you need someone who puts you higher on the list - and given that right now I am really not looking for a relationship I need to be clear."


frankly he has NO chance of getting laid.  SO not my type.

If he asks what his chances are, do not say "1 in a million." Because all guys hear is "There's still a chance."

Pretty good, but:

"Please do not contact me again in any form or fashion, you have no chance at getting laid, leave me alone."

would have been better....  LOL  jk

I'd say you were right to end things with this particular guy. Given that none of us were there it would be difficult to interpret how the evening went. However...

Perhaps his question was a valid one. If you really are so busy then why are you dating in the first place? From your email to him it sounds as though you have no time at all for a relationship so why are you going on dates? Perhaps that was his way of asking the same question.

If you were upfront before the drinks that you are just looking for a casual hang out every now and then that would be one thing. But why date if it doesn't even register on the priority list?

'cause you're HAWT with the tri-body.  SOME MAN (not all men) think that it comes naturally.  He just wants the benefits, but can't accept the time it takes to get that way.

Dump the fool.  A REAL playuh would've gotten you to accept a post-workout massage from him!  Worked WITH you and not against you!

Pretty much what I was thinking,,,,,,,,,, "I just want to be friends, nothing more" will be heard by a lot of guys, as I'm not going to sleep with you, well not just yet.

What is your reasoning for wanting to be "friends" with him?

Do people really set up dates via email... could he not call you to ask in person.  (I don't date so maybe this is how things are done now).

And what's with 'are you planning to retire'.... doesn't he know you haven't even peaked as a triathlete yet.. he needs some education... you should meet him for a run date.
