I remember what I was going to post now.

Someone called last week, and I didn't recognise the number. Against my better judgment, I answered the call. I couldn't recognise the voice and hoped it was a wrong number. The person told me to guess who he was. I apologised told him I didn't recognise his number or his voice. And then he was like, "it's IKEA guy."

*sigh*

And @#$!

I regretted answering the phone. I've never met this person in my life, but we exchanged a couple of superficial e-mails (his English was horrible) last year, and talked on the phone once. I always declined getting together with him because I just never wanted to do it.

The last contact we had was in December. (He had left his email address for me in my car door last year in the spring). Apparently, he came across my number and decided to give me a call. And then he proceeded to be very pushy about getting together. My thoughts of being direct went out the door because I was trying to be nice. I hoped that "I'm busy" with no offer of when I was going to not busy was good enough.

But no... "how about dinner after work?" "This week?" (He called on Thursday?) "Next week?" "How about getting together this weekend?"

@$#!

Telling him I was in the middle of dinner didn't seem to suade him to get off the phone either. Ugh. Finally, I said I had to go because my dinner was ready. I can't remember if I suggested him to call me, but I know I told him to send me an email. I also reminded him again that I was busy.

But the best part was when he said, "yes...you never replied to my last e-mails." Gee, I wonder why? The next time we have contact, if it happens, I will just remind him again that I have a boyfriend. And I will just have to firmly say no to getting together.   And he still has a girlfriend, too!!
