So, on Monday, I was asked out by a guy named Mike. I knew him from when I worked at the theater. He would always give me free tickets when I came in with the promise of free ice cream. Last Saturday I went to see a movie with mom, and I gave him my number so that we could cordinate the free tickets/ice cream better. It was completley innocent on my part because I thought that he was still dating his girlfriend of the last two and a half years. Anyways, so Monday he asked me out, and I was really excited since I haven't been on a date in a long time. I even made plans with Sarah to go shopping on Thursday to get a new outfit.
However, Monday he REALLY wanted me to come and see him at work, so he got me and my friend into see a free movie. During his break he came in and sat with us. Hwe kept being really playful in an attempt to get my hand. That is when I started feeling a little uncomfortable. Then, he called me that night when he got off work. (Around 1 am) and then again when he first woke up the next morning! He kept calling and texting me wanting to make plans for every day this week.
On Thursday, after I had gone shopping with Sarah, he sent me a text asking me how work was. I told him that I had the day off and he then wanted to know why I wasn't hanging out with him. Several times that day he kept sending me texts saying, "What are you doing now?" "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" And I HATE it when people feel like they constantly need to be checking up on me.
One of his phone calls on Thursday was to ask me if it was okay if we went to the drive-in theater. I originally told him that I didn't care, even though I did, but I sent him a text later telling him that I would be more comfortable going to a real theater. He then called me later to ask me if I would like to go to the new Century in Union Hights and if I had ever been there before. I said that I had been there once when it first opened. He said that he had been working there when it first opened and asked me why I hadn't said hi to him. I said that I hadn't seen him and that he probably hadn't been there. He said, "You were there. I saw you." So I said, "No you didn't. If you had seen me there then you wouldn't have asked me if I had ever been there before. You're just trying to make me feel bad." And he said, "I wasn't trying, it just comes naturally."
By Friday morning, I was DREADING my date. I REALLY didn't want to go. So I sent him a text telling him that I was uncomfortable that he had asked me to go to the drive-in since I assoicate that with guys wanting action. He said that he hadn't even thought of that and asked me if I still wanted to go. I made it clear to him that I didn't want any action. He agreed, so I decided it was okay that I went.
The date started fine. He came and picked me up at Baskin and took me to Litza's Pizza. After that we went minature golfing. I had fun. He was gloating in the car before we got there that he was going to kick my trash, and then I totally KILLED him! We then went to the movie. We got there early so we played some arcade games for a while. When we went into the movie. He kept playing around until he got my hand. I was a little uncomfortable, but I let him do it because I didn't want to make him feel bad. When the movie started, he put his arm around me and kind of pulled me closer to him. I probably should have said it bothered me, but I didn't want to make him feel bad, and I figured that I never had to go out with him again if I didn't want to and it wasn't really hurting anything... And it was a good movie, so I stopped thinking about it after a while. I could tell that he kept getting bored though since he kept trying to tickle me and steal my drink. After the movie, he drove me back to my car and then LOCKED HIS KEYS I HIS CAR! He told me to go home and get some sleep though since I had to be to work early the next morning. He then called me around midnight to let me know that the lock smith was on his way.
Today he called me three times. He keeps sending me texts saying that we should do it again. I told him that if we did hang out again I would need to do it after Father's Day because I am going to be busy with work. Later that day he said "How about Tuesday." And again I said, "After Father's Day." Then he text me again saying that we needed to make a plan to do it again.
HE IS DRIVING ME INSANE! He just seems so needy and when I made a comment about him calling and texting me all the time, he said "I thought we were friend so I thought it was okay." Which made me feel bad. I know you are all going to tell me to just tell him to take a hike, but I don't like being rude, so it isn't as easy as it sounds. And, we were friends before. He makes a goood friend. I just don't think that I like him as anything more than that.
