i STRONGLY advise this. i’ve tried the others and they’re 1.) still calling to see if i’m finally free after 6 months of being “busy;” or 2.) Still calling asking What Happened, since I was “clearly interested” when I accepted dates 1 and 2.
I’m another one who agrees with this. If someone gets up the nerve to ask me out, I generally accept for something as casual as coffee (with obvious exceptions like I’m already seeing someone, am scared of the guy, or know there’s no way in hell I’d ever be interested in him even if he were the last man alive). Why not give someone a chance? You may find out (as I have) that you really are interested after you have a chance to chat some. It’s just coffee. It’s not like he’s asked to move in or anything.
Now, if you know that there’s absolutely no chance what so ever for the poor fella and you’d just hate spending any amount of time with him, then you do need to cut him off quick. Don’t drag it out and be evasive. It just prolongs everything for you both.
Must be really late, 'cause I find that hilarious. S’anyway, I was talking on MSN with Coffee Guy - he seems agreeable enough (though not the kind of person I’d befriend in real life), so I guess I shouldn’t begrudge him coffee. Plan D: Playing Nice, Just This Once.
Word. I’m quite simply staggered by the amount of people (guys) who get too clingy after the first date. One date does not make a relationship. Let the poor kid quietly get the hint and escape with his pride intact.
