"If I kissed you, you would be my lover forever," a man bragged this week.
"Nice try," I replied. "Men typically think they are great lovers. Delusional."
I looked at his grungy, dark teeth and fat belly. A motorcycle enthusiast, he doesn't exercise. He has a terrible diet, is always overweight and has diabetes. We have nothing in common.
For years, he's had the hots for me. "You have a beautiful body," he says. Ugh.
We volunteer for North Central Washington Democrats. I have known him for years.
Hit the brakes, buddy!
Your thoughts?
You probably need to be blunt with him.
"Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I'm not attracted to you," I wrote in a email.
@LiterateHiker You were very nice and polite, I would just have been rude and obnoxious probably, he, he.
Cripes, he sounds like a barrel of laughs. Take him up one of your mountain, that should sort him out
@LimitedLight Just banter with LH. As for LH youβll need to ask her.
@LimitedLight Thanks for the clarity Limited Light!
@LimitedLight I think they are allowed to. America is the βland of the freeβ after all.
I don't like Bernie. He's an angry old man.
Everybody has an ego, most of which doesn't match reality.
Just because someone likes motorcycles doesn't mean they don't exercise, though.
@1of5
For years, he and I have volunteered for local Democrats. I know him. He doesn't exercise and has type 2 diabetes.
@LiterateHiker so that one particular motorcycle enthusiast doesn't excercise, gotcha.
Sounds like he is not in touch with reality as he is far below your physical and intellectual league. Face-Palm.
I'm thinking he was kidding. Sounds like sarcasm. He must know by this point of his life that he's not one of the world's great lovers. Otherwise he's just really fucked up.
For years, he's had a crush on me. "You have a beautiful body," he says. Ugh.
He has a terrible diet, is always overweight and has diabetes. We have nothing in common.
@LiterateHiker So you're going with the "really fucked up" option.
Well, he certainly doesn't suffer from a low self esteem does he????? LOL
You give him way, way too much credit. Delusional requires a higher level of functioning than he is demonstrating.
I have a belly, but at least I know enough to not approach attractive women. Actually, any women.
