The importance of social cues

Let me clarify this post by saying this, I have done everything to have an amicable ending to this…”friendship”.  I’m also always down for new friends, but seriously….that’s the LAST time I give my number to someone that I’m not actually diggin. Especially when a comment like, “I don’t wanna be just friends” comes up at the FIRST MEETING.  Admittedly, I was dumb for assuming that it was a joke (who would say that at a first date), but good Lord!  I didn’t think anyone could be this persistent/crazy. 

How do you convey “I don’t like you” more than a text saying “I don’t like you let’s be friends”….impersonal, frank and to the point.    Maybe it’s just me, but I would take it as “stop all digital communication henceforth (lol), but say hi in public. (that’s just me though)”. I don’t see how that can misconstrued as ”I’m busy right now, hit me up in 3 months” (o_O)?

How do you ’rekindle’ a flame that was never sparked?  Better yet, why would you?  And even then a random text every other day purposing, “late dinners and sleep overs” on a Saturday night, is even MORE sketch. How is that supposed to work? You know good and well that Sunday is the day of rest (i.e. folks don’t work).  Also, at my age (which isn’t that old), a “late” dinner or sleep over is not innocent, especially when its explicitly stated. SMH…new approach, “Silence Is Golden”

If I’m over reacting, let me know. I’d love to hear y’alls opinions!
