super clingy, super creepy guys all of a sudden? I have met a few more than usual lately and it’s too much. Way too much.
I don’t care where I met you. Online, at the bar, at the grocery store… it’s all the same to me. A nice chat, some good conversation, maybe some flirting and arm touching if the situation allows. It’s all pretty standard. The exchange of phone numbers, and hopefully some fun and flirty texting or some e-mailing over the next few days. Not much, just a couple exchanges a day maybe. A possible date set in a week or so…
Is this not how it works anymore?? I am horrified at these men I’ve met recently. They are so. damn. pushy! I have a life. I am busy. For-real busy. And I know a lot of people are, but from my perspective, my life is really full right now. I am in a highly competitive, high stress graduate program in a health-care field. It runs my life, for the most part. I’m not exaggerating… but that’s another rant.
I am open and honest from the start about where I’m at right now, what I am looking for and what my schedule allows me to put into dating. Which is not much, and runs somewhere between “casual is your only option, dude” and “fun only please!” And no, I’m not speaking strictly sex. jeez people…
