How to tell a guy that you're not interested? // Comics!!!

Jul 07, 2011 23:33

God knows I don't get a lot of play. Like, pretty much zero play with boys or girls. Mostly because I make no effort to meet new people or flirt or even let people know I'm available. But there's this one guy at church who keeps... emailing me and making a point to talk to me and while we have things in common--fannish things, actually, like comics and scifi--the fact that I know he's looking for a girlfriend makes me disinclined to chat with him about fun things that I would otherwise chat with him about! If that make sense.

He's done this before. It wasn't long after I graduated university, iirc, and he was much more blatant about it then, to the point that my friends teased me and I was uncomfortable with the whole situation and pretty much avoided him for a while. Then he got a girlfriend for a while (and made a point of introducing her to me) and things cooled to the point that, even after they broke up, I could chat with him about Batman without feeling uncomfortable. But now he's doing it again, and it's clear he's looking for a girlfriend because once in a while he mass emails three of us girls, ALL SINGLE, and in my head I'm like, "I'd love to read that link, because it actually looks interesting, but wow, is there a particular reason you're only sending it to the single ladies of your acquaintance? Because I can see their names in the 'TO' line."

Also, I'm not interested! And I don't know how to make that any clearer than never ever responding to his emails. Maybe I need to start avoiding him again.

I was downtown for a meeting tonight, so I stopped at Ye Olde Comic Book Shoppe and bought myself some comics. God, it's going to be a slippery slope to an empty wallet! I paid more for comics than for the shorts at Eaton Centre... and I didn't even get the Batgirl I was looking for! But I did snag the Wonder Girl TT spotlight (which I got mostly because I know Cissie and Anita have cameos), the recent World's Finest mini, and back issues of Meltzer's run on Green Arrow (and boy, did I pay out the nose for those!).

Comics are expensive. It's been so long that I'd forgotten.

scans_daily, Gail Simone responds to the question: Will Cass, Steph or Others Unaccounted For Survive the Reboot? It's too early for even cautious optimism, I think. DC's kinda fickle about things.
