    Fling problem

    Hey Champs,


    Got a potential issue on my hands here. To make it as short and sweet as possible, my social life is pretty much been like a pitcher warming up in the ballpen.

    The pitchers above me are playing in the game with more attractive women, and I have been having flings with girls that I would never want to be seen with. But when I do go into the field to play, I want to be warmed up and as prepared as possible.

    Problem is, one of them has been blowing my phone up and has been acting a bit possessive. As much as I keep telling myself to just ignore it, I wanna let her off without hurting her feelings (even though it's her fault for getting attached. I literally showed no intention to take it further then fun times.)

    There is no way you're not going to hurt her feelings. So be honest. Tell her "Hey listen I had a good time with you, but i'm not looking to date. Take care"

    "Hey, we had some fun together, but I'm not interested in a relationship."
    "Well can we still be friends at least?"
    "I don't think that's a good idea."

    Simple, to the point. Always best to be direct with this stuff so the other person can just move on. No one likes being strung along.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    To be honest I wouldn't play the whole "We can still be friends" thing. It just leaves the door open to further contact and keeps her hopes alive. I'd just end it as nicely and firmly yet as quickly possible and move on.

    There's no way her feelings aren't going to get hurt. All you can do is limit how long they hurt for.

    It depends on the social situation. If it's someone you're likely going to encounter again, for example, that person is friends with other friends, it can be important. I prefer to phrase it as "We can be "friendly" as opposed to "friends."

    But that's just me.

    Yeah, that's what I was saying. The second line was her response. The girl almost invariably asks if you can still be friends, and the answer should be "I don't think that's a good idea."

    Just tell her your going start being faithful to your (imaginary) girlfriend.
    She will flip out on you, and then hopefully spend time trying to find your girlfriend and since she isn't real waste lots of time leaving you alone.

    Ever been so angry at everyone on the internet you tell a woman she is mansplaining?

    Or she'll get her brother Guido to come break your kneecaps for disrespecting his sister. The truth man. That's the way to do it.

    I usually* just do the kneecap breaking myself. Everyone knows I own a baseball bat.

    *N=0.

    He is at school to become a lawyer, that sounds like practice for future law suits to me.

    Lawsuits don't unbreak your kneecaps for you.

    Just an addendum, she was waiting for me to leave work yesterday. I never told her where I worked.

    It's not as much that I don't wanna hurt her, i just don't want her to hurt me in retaliation of being hurt.

    I had sex once. Good times were had. Predominantly by me, but you can't have everything.

    Jesus Christ.

    "Hey, [insert name here], you're coming on really strong and I have to tell you it's kind of freaking me out. We had some fun, but I'm not interested in a relationship with you. Please don't come to my work again."

    Stalkers need to be told that their behavior isn't acceptable, and the sooner you tell them, the better. Letting their obsessions fester is just going to make things worse as time goes on. At least if you're straight with them instead of "letting them down easy" (as if there's an easy way to be rejected) at least helps them understand how not to be such a creeper in the future.

    Usually I just don't respond to those kind of texts, or phonecalls. If it continues, block her from your phone. Of course I'd recommend talking to her first, but if she doesn't get the message, cut her out.

    Alright... we all know the correct answer now.
    Time to knock her up Mr. Bigzoman.

    Given the warm-ups i've engaged in, it will only make the problem worse.

    I don't even want to tap it anymore. Shortly after yesterday, I figured "yeah..one more time wouldn't hurt." But I realized this morning that wasn't the right brain talking to more.

    It's never a good idea to do it all for the nookie. (come on!)
