SHAKING THE LEAF

Just when I thought i knew what I wanted: Changed my mind!  Doesn't every chick want a nice guy?  Someone who loves all things you love, someone who asks you how your day was everyday and cares? Someone who wants to talk about your future, and babies and all things happy and compliment you 24/7 and thinks you can do no wrong? Not this chick!
 In a short of the long version I will sum this up for you how a seemingly happy beginning turned into a weekend of me literally looking for assholes to converse with or just be around for that matter.  Girl meets Boy...they take interest in each other and phone numbers and such are exchanged. At first I think, he's hot, has a house, a nice car, good job, I think he said a few funny things the night I met him at a party???   There's a first date where everything seems great, but then again anyone who knows me knows I can carry on a conversation with just about anything that breathes. After a few more dates which consisted of me cooking, the gym or nice walks we still had not done anything but a short make out sesh here and there and I realized I didn't really want to do more than that.  Again, those who know me...Sorry guy!  Took a break which shortly there after led to a date in which i wanted to hurl myself out of the car while he was driving.  I should not have let it get to the point where I could not stand to be around him so much so that when he ever asked me if he could come in an watch tv with me after the date i wanted to gouge my own eyes out.
Clingy McClingster just wasn't getting it.  I spent that entire weekend dodging texts that asked me "what are you up to dooodddy?"  and the only reason i even answered one was because he found my set of everyday keys that i had been missing for two weeks that i lost one night at a wedding we went to (not as dates, the bride and groom were the introducers of this fine budding relationship).  Coincidentally I had told everyone i thought he had my keys when i could not find them anywhere and that he would miraculously find them as the hero one day. Well...this was his day.  He received a response, but it was solely based on the fact that I wanted my keys so i could stop using all my spares.  The next morning of course, without fail i received a text and by that night I had to say something.  I realized fully that besides the fact that everything at this point that came out of his mouth was like nails on a chalkboard to me, that this guy doesn't have his own opinion and if he does, he's shoving it aside to say something - anything that he thinks will make me like him more.  He can't spend time alone, which is annoying for an independent chick like me. He WAS NOT funny, and I need funny, it's the third requirement after attractive and good in bed.  He was beyond in like with me, yet did nothing to schmooze, which kills it, shows me you have no creativity whatsoever.  Also i was beginning to learn that this guy was dense and well kind of a pussy, but of course would never think any of these things of himself.  The fact that I had to answer to him already about where i was all weekend and i could not shake him from the tree was stressing me out! WE ARE NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP AND HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR THREE WEEKS!!!!!  Not really to my surprise after being very direct with a "This isn't working out...you require too much attention and are too much for me at this point in my life" his reply was..."...are we still on for Friday?" 

Everyone has gotten the I need space talk, or I just have a lot going on in my life.  Listen to this wise advice....If someone tells you they need space from you it is because YOU ARE ANNOYING THEM.  There is no other explanation except the fact that they have other things and in some cases other people they would rather do then date you right now at this point in their lives and the best thing for you to do is to walk away and save your dignity.  It does not mean there is something wrong with you. Love yourself first and you will figure that out. What it means is that you are not what they are looking for...I'm sorry if they are what you are looking for, but you may want to re-evaluate your options. Do not call them. Do not ask questions. Do not bother them.  If they are finally saying this to you then they have been thinking about saying it before this, it's just not an easy thing to tell someone.  Immediately find the first person you know that will tell you this in person and ask them to be honest. Take their advice! Go get a cocktail!
