My aweful night: Part 1
So RiverPestie set me up with a friend of hers. I went out with him twice and found out he is a STAGE 5 clinger! Here are some of the things that have happened:
-he told me he loved me
-He told me I am his soulmate
-He is acting like I am going to be his next wife, and telling everyone about us
-texting non stop every day to tell me how much I mean to him
-Asking me if I would be okay with moving to the city he lives in in the future
-He still talks to his XW every other day (they have no kids)
-And there are even more...
So last night I told him that I was not ready for a relationship and I couldnt see him anymore. He then told me how sad he was and that he really really likes me and wants to be with me. He said "he would wait an eternity for me until I was ready." So obviously that was not going to cut it, so I told him that he came on too strong (ya think?) and that it freaked me out and I would never be ready for him. He kept texting me about how he will wait for me, yada yada. Then that last text message was "So can we consider this our first fight?" So yea...the guy is NOT getting the picture! Luckily he does not know where I live....

OMG. While I want to say to reply with "First and LAST", I think it's probably best to just completely ignore him entirely.

I would agree with this and make sure you say "do not contact me ever again" if you haven't already.
yeah, that is what I am planning on doing....just ignoring him...
Yeah, had I known he was a stage 5 and that he still talked to his XW, I would not have set them up. Ugh.... I have known the man for 10 years and I never would have thought he was clingy. Bad judgment on my part.
I was totally shocked when I found all of this out. That's the first and last time I set two people up.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
Its okay, not your fault!
You could never have known, really.....that's why whenever we look at a couple and think they've got it made, imagine the secret behavior those two prob have that no one knows about! I tell myself this every time I get sad about Brad & Jennifer breaking up........somebody rocked the crazy in that relationship!
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
ONCE.
