It's funny to watch friends that are younger than me, become me. They really do look up to me, they copy my style of dress, and adapt similar attitudes toward issues. I guess I should be flattered. I don't really talk to them about dating, I'm kind of private when it comes to that. I just reappear after 6-9 months with an ex.. lol I gave my first bit of dating advice to a friend and she didn't take it which reminds me that she hasn't fully evolved. She went out on a 'date' with a man the other day. She was upset because she didn't pick her up, his car was in the shop. She met him at the club a few nights before and didn't really get a great look at him. When she saw him in the daylight, she wasn't satisfied with his appearance to say the very least. So, she had to pick him up, and they went to the mall, to the movies and then he suggested that they go to a buffet for lunch. All of this, she was dissatisfied with. He called her later that night to say that he had a good time. She didn't answer. He called her again a couple days later. She didn't answer. Her approach: ignore him and he will go away. My advice: You need to tell him something, because #1 you may see him again, and #2 even if you don't see him again, its just the right thing to do. I hate having to figure things out on my own. He deserves closure. I had a situation (totally unrelated to dating-- it was actually in my professional life) and I had to figure out the bad news on my own. As the pieces of the puzzle came together, I almost wanted to die. I swear, figuring out bad news on your own must be what dying alone feels like. It's the worst! In this situation, it's probably not that serious but, if you are going to date, like an adult, you have to face the music, be open and honest and not just let things linger. You can eat at the buffet and watch the movie ON HIM.. at least say something.. That's my opinion.. Xangans... What do you think? Closure... or let things linger until the poor sap figures it out? |
