"C" called me on the telephone.
I decided to talk with him for a bit.
The conversation started off very pleasant and it made me wish he hadn't ruined things by moving so fast with me.
I like his personality in alot of ways...
yet, there is something very disturbing about him and "THE BIG TRANSPORTATION ISSUE"....
Not only "ONCE" has he crossed the line with that...but "manyyy" times!
I've tried not to keep track of the times but its happened anyway...
because like it or not, my brain has this weird built in red flag calculator that automatically adds,subtracts,multiplies and divides all the pros and cons...
"C" asked me over the telephone what I was doing.
I told him I was going shopping with my mom and two family friends.
He said he didn't mean to come off as 'forward' and asked if my mom would mind picking him up in her car to bring him shopping with us.
I told him that it was supposed to be a "girls day out" sorta thing.
He seemed to be very disappointed but said he understood.
Before that...
When I met him downtown on that awful rainy day?
He'd asked me how I got downtown.
I told him that my sister dropped me off and went to my cousin's place.
"Okay, where does she live" he asked.
Hmmm...He asks wayyyy too many questions....
"She lives downtown" I said.
"Okay cool...so then we can have dinner and then head over to your cousin's house" he assumed for some reason.
Why did he boldly assume that we were going to my cousin's house after dinner? She did not invite us!
I think it was very rude and silly of him....
I never just go around inviting myself to peoples homes etc...
I was always taught growing up as a girl that it is impolite and very rude!
No I'm not a stuck up snob, but I do know bad manners when I see them...
"No, I don't think it would be a very good idea?" I said.
"Why not?" he'd asked.
"Because there are reasons" I said.
"What reasons?" he asked.
Is he really that stupid or just plain rude?
And then...the night of open mic poetry?...
He asked if he could join my sister and I to hang out and get a ride home...with the assumption that he would be driven home at the end of the night.
Hes definitely given off tons of red flags.
I told him over the phone that its great that we are becoming friends...but I don't see it going any further than a "friendship"...
