How do I get rid of this guy? Clearly, it is making me morose. We're supposed to see a movie tonight and I have absolutely no desire to keep the date. I would much rather spend time with my friends, you know, the people I actually like. This guy is either incredibly dense or focused on converting my hatred into positive feelings. My mom says he is just deeply desiring marriage. Those are the only sorts of guys I've come across lately. It would seem that those seeking more casual relationships have dissapeared and I'm left with dudes willing to ignore deeply set incompatibilities. Either that, or think they can transform me into something more closely resembling what they are seeking. That's funny.
One night, this guy and I were watching Anthony Bourdain on the television. He was visiting Thailand or maybe it was Vietnam and he was having lunch at one of the floating markets where these adorable little ladies fry up who knows what on their little boats. I mentioned that I'd love to go there and experience that and he remarked, "why would you go all the way there when you can get pad thai at Noodles & Co down the street?" Not to be overly dramatic, but that was kind of a soul crushing moment. I don't understand how people live without curiosity and a will to explore.
I'm now contemplating the appropriateness of breaking up with someone via text message but that sounds like the cowards way out.

Did you ever consider just canceling the date? Or telling him you're not into him? Why do you keep saying yes / letting him into your apartment / seeing him?
I am confused.
Oh, i've told him how I feel but he insists upon being friends. It's a little bit of a sensitive situation seeing as he and his family are friends with about 75% of my clients. Wisconsin is a small place.
Noodles & Company?!
Cancel for tonight!
Two words: leave crab medication on the bathroom sink.
(Somehow I am in my 30s and single. You're shocked. Admit it.)
Jessica - it's depressing, isn't it? Pretty sure I can make better Pad Thai than Noodles can serve up.
Peter - I think you're on to something. Coupledom and marriage are overrated anyhow. I'm pretty sure that I'd be divorced by now had I married any four of my "serious" boyfriends.
