There’s this girl who’s been hitting on me, and, I later found out, a friend of mine. She obviously has good taste, since this friend of mine is a pretty cool dude (I don’t say that about many people). Oh, he was on that dating show which I missed.
Unfortunately for her, neither of us are interested in her.
Anyway, both of us had this msn conversation:
me: have u watched ‘lake house’?
friend: is it worth it?
me: it’s a romance movie
me: go watch with pauline so she won’t bother me
friend: you stole my line,..
me: she asked me to watch with her tonight
friend: funny she asked me to watch something else with her tonight..
me: hahaha
friend: hahhaa
friend: so you rejected her
friend: i rejected her…me: how did u reject her?
friend: i said i was busy packing
friend: you?me: i told her that i’m watching with some other girl
friend: hahaha
me: am i mean or am i mean
friend: seriously that is cool
Am I mean or am I mean?
don’t think you’re mean. just thot you and your friend are like… thick-skinnned (hahahaha). Just cuz she wanna watch a movie with the two of you? I mean, which girl hits on 2 guys at the same time… … unless she’s really fat, ugly and desperate that is.

Sigh, showering compliments on your fellow counterpart (esp. one whom the girl happens to like as well) indirectly implies that you share similar attractive traits such that you can be considered a ‘pretty cool dude’ too?
P.S. Now, am I MEAN? Heh… only kidding.

On a scale of mean-ness of 1 (low) to 10 (high), I scale you 7 on mean-ness… :p

this girl.. not cute one is it…
Comment by avalon — August 3, 2006 @ 12:35 am
Yes, you’re mean but why do you boast about it? I don’t know the girl but felt sympathetic for her, based on your writing above.

let’s just say she’s highly persistant and ignores all hints. i don’t wanna describe how bad things are.

You’re evil, if I’m gonna blog about these kinda guys….my blog be full!!!
Guys! Welcome to bug me more, cuz I’m not as evil as him. Whahaha.

huh. just coz she asked you out doesn’t mean she was hitting on you.
also, how come the name was changed from priscilla to pauline?
Comment by Angelique — August 4, 2006 @ 2:43 pm
Angelique, he couldn’t think of any made up name to use but Priscilla. I was like…”!!!!” What if people think it’s me? So i made him change it. Sorry Paulines.
Comment by Priscilla — August 4, 2006 @ 4:57 pm
actually she asked me out again yesterday. *sigh*
Comment by tinkertailor — August 4, 2006 @ 10:43 pm
Then, just link her to your blog.. (disclaimer: just a suggestion, not fool-proof)
Comment by XR — August 5, 2006 @ 11:56 pm
Well, I think the best way to handle it is to tell her straight. Haha, I can’t think of any other way, but it should work. Good luck!

I know I am from a different generation. But still would like to recommend you this song:Helen Reddy - Ain’t No Way to Treat a Lady LYRICS

Since you like reading books, can I recommend a book for your current situation?
Lifescripts by Stephen M. Pollan & Mark Levine
The book is actually written for workplace situations but you can modify it for your personal situations too (e.g. see “terminating a relationship with a professional” or “confronting a sexual harasser”).

PS - unfortunately, there is no chapter for “how to be Darth Tinker”
Comment by anon — August 9, 2006 @ 10:59 am
I dunno about the meanness, like what if all that bad karma comes back and haunts you when you’re 50 and single again?
Maybe you should get attached so that she’ll give up.
