You Decide! July 30, 2008
Posted by Babs O'Leary in Dating.trackback
Okay, you all recall the fiasco of a date I had with Fine Guy Patches last week. When he didn’t call me the next day I breathed a sigh of relief. He got the hint from my church hug. Yay! Wrong.
On Saturday, Patches called me. He didn’t say “hey, I was thinking about you”, he didn’t say “just wanted to see how you were doing”, he said “give me a call I want to meet tomorrow so I can get your help with this comedy show I’m putting together”.
Huh? GTFOH! I never said I was helping you with a fuggin comedy show. And I damn sure ain’t helping for the free free. How very presumptuous Mr. Patch Adams!
Furthermore, I had company all weekend (which he knew) so I wouldn’t have been available to help anyway. So I never called him back. On Tuesday, Patches sent me a text stating the obvious: “you never called me back”. A wise one you are, Mr. Patch Adams! I did not respond because quite frankly I forgot.
Tuesday evening he calls me AGAIN. I let him roll to voicemail. This dude is really iggin me!
So how do you think I should handle this situation?
A) Call Patches and tell him that I am not interested in communicating with him any further. Nor am I available to do charity work.
B) Text Patches and tell him I got his message but have been too busy to get back with him and that I am not available to do charity work.
C) Ignore Patches and assume that a 36 year old man should know better.
You decide people!
I choose A!
The not wanting to even bother having a conversation with him side of me would say B. But the best option, and the one I would hope someone would choose with me if I were to lose all rational sense and acted crazy like Mr Patches would be option A.
C
I want to say C so bad but A is probably the best choice.
Can I just take a moment to ROTFL at “Patch Adams?” HAAAAAAAAAA.
My advice is C, but I am currently being stalked my a 37 year old man who I’ve NEVER gone out with because he can’t take the hint that a non returned phone call means I’m NOT interested. He has called me 8 times now. So just beware that there are some CLUELESS guys out there. (dang, I need my own blog, lol)
A will work best.
ROFL @ Patches
A…softly, poor patches, there goes the rest of his hair LOL…
it took me a minute to stop laughing at “Patches” and continue reading the rest of the post.
At any rate, how would you want him to handle the situation if the roles were reversed? Chose the high road and go with option A.
Yes indeedy…”Patch Adams” is HILAR! I say “A” just so that it’s all laid out on the table and Mr Adams shouldn’t be contacting you anymore for any reason.
B is wack. Don’t be a punk.
A and then C (because he will call you back eventually).
If you go with A…I want to hear how one goes about it. Kinda like you showed me how one goes about, “I want to hook you up one of my friends.” *taking notes from the class of Babs*
A. I think you should just call him and set it straight.
We have already discussed. A.
A.
I am going with the school of thought..do unto others as you would have them do unto you…so I would say option A.
Tell the truth – A.
I say A. If not, he’ll just keep coming back!
A for patches
I’m still LMAO at patches and the darn ducks!
I’d say A…call him back and let him know.
A – the truth shall set you free.
A – Just think, how would I want someone to treat my potential future spouse?
Skip the passive agressiveness and geaux with A! but I’m sure with “Patch Adams” (tooo funny!!) you’ll have to use C as well..
A. because it’s the right thing to do and PA doesn’t seem like the type that can take a hint.
I just thought of option D, tell Patch Adams (lol!) that you blog about him. Isn’t that how you finally shook SBG?
*waving* You are gone but not forgotten buddy!
You are a fool!!! When my tires get slashed I’m calling you for a ride.
Definitely tell Patch Adams the truth.. Consider it good karma that you’re putting out there for the next chick.. Pay it forward. Dude needs to understand the many dimensions of his wackness…
