Now less than friends

If you think the classic dinner and a movie date can't go wrong, I can give the name and number of a guy who can't seem to get it right. This one was not a blind date but rather someone I have know for many years. I bumped into him at the supermarket one day after we hadn't seen each other for years. After getting through the typical how have you been, work, school, family, etc. we arrive to the part of yes, I am single now. Two days later he calls and extends his apology for the short term of my marriage. Then suggest since I am single now maybe we should get together for dinner and catch up on old times. He has always been a good friend so of course I said yes and looked forward to the next day that we would get together for a long and friendly chat.

In the past we have gone to dinner, or a movie, or event together as friends and everything has been great. Very nice guy, I would have set him up with a good friend as a date. Well, probably not anymore. We went to dinner, Mexican, yummy. Talked about politics and education, since we agree on those topics, it wasn't a taboo. However, if you are on a date, this is one of the three forbidden topics. After dinner, by the way he, 'Mr. I'm gonna hit on you later' didn't leave much of a tip. After we left the restaurant he just drove around aimlessly. I asked him, "Where are you going?" He replied, "I don't know, I just don't want to drop you off yet." Then he suggested a movie. Okay, that sound like a good idea. Well, so I thought, that is until he wanted to start holding my hand and then wanted to put his head on my shoulder. I moved over to the next seat. "What are you doing sitting over there?" He asked me with a very strange look on his face. "I thought you needed more space, you didn't look comfortable in your seat." I replied. With a higher octave voice said, "I was snuggling up to you." "Why?!" I asked him. Then he asked me to sit next to him again. Then he just put his arm around me. I bluntly but politely told him I was not comfortable with it. We finished the movie then I asked him to take me home. Multiple times he suggested that I stay at his place because he has to work early in the morning. I said "no" very forcefully and told him that if he was concerned about waking up for work, he should not have asked me to a movie that was not even in the plan.

Do men seriously think that we do not have rights to our own bodies, that if no man is speaking for it that it is open season or do I dare say 'free range'. Considering they even think that we do not know how we feel or even obviously mean what we say. When a man responds, "Ohh, you don't mean that." I want to smack him up side his foolish pig head then ask him, "Did I mean that?" I think we know are own opinion, as a matter of fact, I am certain of it!

This guy has been a friend for a very long time, more than a decade. I reminded him of this fact and told him that I was not interested to date him because I wouldn't want to lose that friendship. He said he understood but that was something he was willing to risk. DUMBASS!
Even a man that I previously believed to have been sane has become a horny vulture!
