You'd think that if you stopped texting back, stopped calling back and halted to make any effort at all to reciprocate someone's desperate need to contact you, that they would stop altogether.
Unfortunately, such is not the case. After I communicated how I am not interested in maintaining communication anymore. (Hey, I'm old enough to tell someone without feeling guilty about it.)
This has recently happened both with a man I was kinda getting to know (was evaluating if he was dating material) and with an old female colleague who is over 20 years my senior and desperate to reconnect.
The guy texts me every day. He's called, but I blocked his number. Still, he won't stop texting:
"Hi"
"Hey"
"Omggg"
"Please call me"
"Hey"
The lady finally stopped calling me months ago when I stopped returning her calls. But she recently started up again and has started sending emails. So I send her a simple note.
"Please do not contact me any further."
Simple. Polite.
Life is too short to deal with people you don't gel with. It's also too short to waste your time being 'nice'. When I spend time with someone I don't want to in the first place, my mind wanders. You aren't 'there' with the person. What's the point? That's how people become miserable. And I like being happy too much!
Another thing that makes me happy - the cutie I met on Saturday while I at Tattoo celebrating a pal's birthday. He makes up for all the lazy dudes I've met.
Squeee!
