Within three weeks of knowing me this guy made me the generous offer of allowing me to fund his marijuana grow operation. With my, and I quote, "big girl job." When I declined he told me i would regret this. when I declined I told him I had no interest in seeing him further. he still doesn't understand - refuses to understand - why I am not interested in continuing to see him.

He doesn't deserve subtlety, lil, he deserves to be hit on the head with a shovel because apparently this is the only way he will accept my point.

The question becomes: why am I even acquiescing to this meeting at all? He has some physical possessions of mine but nothing very important - I think. I am not sure. He keeps making reference to "documents" I left at his house. I am pretty sure they will turn out to be bar receipts - but not totally.

So I am meeting him on my (public) turf. I am going to hit him over the head and see if he still persists and when he does, I will hit him over the head again.

The truth is that he has made me seethingly angry and part of me wants to put that out on him a little bit. So he wants to see me so badly? Fine. Let him see me, and I'll make sure he never wants to see me again.

That is so over -- this isn't the ex we were talking about before, is it?

My life is a horror story. This person has now texted me telling me he is going to be catching a train to Virginia on Monday...just like me! He wants to know when my train is scheduled so we can ride together.

I have not spoken to him since Monday when I told him I was not sending him mixed signals by ignoring his invitations to come over on Sunday night, and also that I would see him this upcoming weekend when he could give me my things and I would give him a piece of my mind. Immediately before that I told him I was two inches away from blocking his number. Immediately before that I was yelling at him.

I will now be taking the train that requires me to wake up at 4 AM because I don't care, I'm not sitting next to or near this motherfucker for five hours.

Clearly he expects our conversation this weekend to go completely the opposite way that it will.

It makes me wonder what his last relationship was like that he so completely disregards my anger and emotions. It makes me wonder how the hell it lasted two years.

All hubski is rooting for you. Here's some inspiration:

(even though he's obviously not your lover, it's still a great song.)

Grew up loving S&G. First song I ever really "heard" was Cecilia. - You know what I mean by "heard." We hear things all our life. But that first time you hear something and pay cognizant attention to it? "Cecilia" for me, for music.

Nope, I managed to find someone ever crazier.

I've decided to temporarily retire. I'm going to kick this guy's butt to the curb, block his number, and then actively refuse all advances for a while. I feel like I'm on a dating tailspin and I really don't want to find out what's worse, or more obnoxious, than this one.

Now hold on a minute. Clearly your dating makes for some very interesting stories. Maybe you should just keep going and have a blog for seeing just how ridiculous these Delaware men can be.

It's like the old parable of walking in to seeing the dog shaping your baby's head on the pottery wheel. You should stop him... but let's see where he's going with this.

Haha, the blog has been much discussed, maybe I will unveil something in the fall.
