Perhaps this is the wrong time to giggle (as I have no idea who it is) but your reactions are priceless so hehe.
Also OMG! I think I may have behaved slightly like this once (nowhere near as bad as you are describing) because once the other person said "friends only" you feel like you want to create a new comfort barrier to get the friendship back onto track without causing further issue. So perhaps it's easy to overdo that, rather than sit back quietly and think you've blown the friendship.
my problem (having been in one of these which went scarier) is that they suddenly put themselves in the 'clearly not caring what your feelings on the subject are', which to me means they've latched on to nearest person but .. how do I put this? To the surface. Like I'm a doll.
problem being that the socially adjusted ones (ie, the ones that took no for an answer and shut up about it) are not the ones who take the advice of the romcoms.
Films : not the same as real life. Under any circumstances.
fortunately no. except previously said person had tried to get me to listen to a bunch of music that he liked, which I'm inclined to think now was his version of 'courting', though at the time I thought it was 'enthusiasm of the geek'.
It's possible you'll have to pull the "Okay, so it's clear we're not friends now. My friends don't try to guilt or emotionally bully me into relationships I don't want and at this point, it's clear that you're more interested in a 'relationship' with me, than in my actual thoughts and feelings." speech.
I'm honestly thinking of hitting him with something heavy. considering I did have to actually tell him several times in the past couple of months 'look, bugger off, you're not invited'.
Yup. Ideally, the "sorry, but..." should do it. You know how old I am [GGG]. At a convention I suddenly realised a young fella was hitting on me. I asked him his age. 18. EEEEP! I firmly but gently informed him that my SON was 19 [at the time]. Told him he had made an old woman very happy, but Nothing Doing, fella. He was absolutely okay about it, thankfully.
