Because he was already naming our children and I needed to put a stop to it. \u00a0I called him and went into it immediately&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know I told you where I was at in the beginning but I just wanted to be up front with you again because I know you are making all these plans and I don&#8217;t want to lead you on. I had a great couple of dates with you but I don&#8217;t think I should be dating, it&#8217; s not really a priority and I don&#8217;t want to be a girl using you for company, dinners, or anything. I hope you understand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He immediately responded with: &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t understand. Why don&#8217;t you want to date me?! Explain this to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Whoa buddy, what the hell? It took everything in me not to laugh at that&#8230;and that would have been the most he&#8217;s made me laugh.<\/p>\n<p>I proceeded to explain. Not much though. Just enough to get him to understand I wasn&#8217;t interested. \u00a0After breaking it down, I thought for sure he had it now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had a great time with you, but I wouldn&#8217;t think much of it afterwards. That should say something about our connection, or lack there of, and a lot about where I am right now. I don&#8217;t want to be the rude girl who blows you off, so I am being up front now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nope, he didn&#8217;t get it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why couldn&#8217;t you make an exception for me?&#8230;That doesn&#8217;t make sense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oh you bet I was done explaining myself at this point&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Listen, I am not explaining myself to you, or anyone else ok? I am calling to thank you for being nice to me but I am also calling to let you know this won&#8217;t be going any further.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He stayed quiet for a bit and then said &#8221; Well enjoy getting\u00a0acclimated\u00a0here in LA&#8230;take care, bye.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Damn.\u00a0All that nagging and drama and I didn&#8217;t even get any sex out of it.
