Yes... I am! I've been suckered into a date with a guy I have no interest in whatsoever. As a matter of fact, he's an old high school boyfriend. Of all the girls he's dated over the last 5 years, why is he still interested in me? Sure... it's flattering, but why couldn't he leave well enough alone? And why don't I have the guts to tell him I'm not interested?
To make matters worse, he attends the same college I'm at now... and his off hour corresponds with mine. It's a small school, so there are not too many places to hide. I'm just angry because that mother of mine gave him my home phone number... and he's calling me constantly! So now you're wondering what is his story, exactly... okay. Lemme describe his personality to you. He's a total Momma's boy (and she loves me too for some strange reason) who has recently moved out of the nest. But get this: he's moved right next door to his family! His life is spent with his nose in the latest sci-fi book or computer game. While there's nothing wrong with that, that's ALL he does. We've also got severe differences in music tastes. He likes girl acts like Spice Girls, Tiffany, and Debbie Gibson! I shit thee not! Although appearances aren't my priority, he fits the token geek description. He's skinny, short, wears thick glasses, trips over his own feet, and has the most annoying laugh on the planet. So why do I put up with him? Why am I going to a dance with him? Well, despite all of his flaws, he's a nice guy. I'm just wondering how I tell him I'm not interested without hurting his fragile feelings. Why me? |
