So I'm doing this website for a guy who, to put it nicely, is a bit manic and doesn't know when to take a hint. He's a nice guy, but OMG I beat my head against the wall talking to him.
He takes me to the local Bosten Market for dinner. (Last time he took me to this ~great diner. This time I wanted to know what I was getting.) And after ordering enough food for two people, complaining about how the portions were smaller, I had quite possibly the most uncomfortable conversation you can possibly have with someone who you don't ever EVER want to be romantically involved in. I don't like talking about politics because everyone I know outside of the internet is Republican, most who can't even really back up WHY they're Republican, they just don't like Obama (I mean this guy honestly believes that it's true Obama isn't a citizen). Financial is out too, so guess what's left? That's right, sex! Even though I KEPT shooting him down telling him I just didn't want to have this discussion he kept going, "Oh I consider you my friend and I don't mind having this conversation. blah blah blah" And he just wouldn't let go. To top it off, he was LOUD while we talked, and it was a rather empty restaurant. There were about three couples that had dinner near us that I KNOW heard our conversation. I was so freaking embarrassed.
He finally took the hint and realized I wanted to get out of there as fast as my legs could carry me, and I escaped with some of my dignity in tact?
Oh and did I mention that originally we were going to drive there in HIS car and then he was going to drive me back to mine?
*headdesk*
