I'm not feeling you like that

As I mentioned a few posts back, I belong to a website called Meetup.com. Through this website, I belong to several different meetup groups. I've been pretty active in one of these groups in particular and a few months ago, I met this guy.

I have no interest in this guy what-so-ever. I do think he's attractive, but I've never been attracted to him. We had started talking out as friends, and I NEVER gave him any indication that anything other than friendship would be going on between us.

For whatever reason, this guy just doesn't seem to get it. This guy, who we'll call "D" started out friendly enough and even said that he wasn't interested in me. Over time, he's hinted at how he may want something more. Even though he knows I'm not interested in him, that doesn't seem to stop him from flirting endlessly. Some women may be flattered by that kind of attention, but I am not. If I say I don't like something and I ask you to stop it, you should stop it.

The bad thing is, this dude doesn't even mean it like that. He's not a threat to me or anything. He just has really low self esteem and feels like this is the way to "get" a woman. I've seen him do it to other women too. It's just not cute. He's also one of those guys who want to make you think that every woman wants to talk to him. So, at this party last night he's going on and on about how this woman at the party was trying to talk to him. I saw this woman, and she wasn't thinking anything about him. Pretty sad.

It's just aggravating because he could have been a really good friend if he had just chilled out. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. So,I'm going to do the same thing with him that I've been doing for the past several weeks - AVOID HIM. If we see each other at a meetup, then so be it. But, we won't be hanging out, talking on the phone, nothing. It's apparent that this dude just cannot get the point. Ugh.
