Is it better to fake it than be alone?
So last Saturday I met this MS1 guy at a party, and in the intervening days he's called/texted me literally every day. Yesterday we had a coffee, and while he seems nice enough, I don't get that feeling that I want to be in a relationship with him. So it seems simply like it'll be another guy who doesn't meet my admittedly high expectations and will thus be rejected ... right? Well, I'm having some conflicting thoughts. On the one hand, I feel a little guilty because he clearly likes me so much (since coffee <24 hours ago, he's texted/called me twice), and I don't want to hurt his feelings. And on a related note, I feel some pressure from my friends here to just go along with it for a while until I develop feelings for him. Of course my gut reaction, when he calls me/texts me/mentions coming by to my carrel is to hide and avoid him, so I figure that my gut at least doesn't want to date him. It's not that there's anything wrong with him per se, just that I can't stand that kind of clingy behavior. We just met!
It reminds me of an episode of Sex and the City. Maybe some girls think that it's better to fake it that to be alone ... that just because a guy likes you and isn't a bad guy is reason enough to date him ... but I'm quite picky. But am I being too picky?
