Dating well, another friend decided she knew the perfect guy for me. Maybe I'm still just shell shocked. IDK.

He had me on the phone last night for 2 hours. This is too long. I haven't dated him yet. BUT I do know now how dysfunctional his family is, the pot smoking and how he'd smoke it all the time if it was legal, how his expensive car Never comes out of the garage unless he's going to church (he drives an old wreck the rest of the time) so as not to put mileage on it, and how much he likes sex (yeah OK whatever). Then I got a mini lecture on God and His plan for our lives, and all of this mewith not getting a word in. He talked and talked and talked.

Now I just have to figure out how to blow him off and be polite because he's a friend of a friend.

But, no thank you. I don't do drama anymore. I'll be having panic attacks two days into a relationship with this guy.

I need a laid back person.

He good looking, owns his own business that does very well, but no.

Anyone else turning them down and wondering if you're just being too picky??? How did you politely tell them you can't see yourself with them EVER?

" I am the same way, if someone is rude or whatnot, I can speak my mind. But to say no in general for me is hard. I am awkward at it if I can even do it some times. What I have found tho, is usually, there is a point/moment presents itself where you have the opportunity to let it be known, in a subtle way that you are just not interested.

Just look for the moment. Given the conversation you just had, I am sure its gonna present itself sooner then later. :) "

" Or when I finally resent dating someone I can't tolerate so much I finally just get up from the table, say "oh shut and suck it" and walk out. Lol

Yes, this is an issue for me. Thank you all because I need to address this. Problem in my marriage too. There's a suprise. "

" No you are not being too picky, I would not bother going, unless you are bored. To me it would be a waste of time, and fruatrating, especially if he does come on strong. I would tell your friend it's not going to work, and see what she things, so it doesn't come as a surprise. I don't like to hurt peoples feelings either, but there are some things that are non-neg for me, like the talk of pot, and his love of sex when he hasn't even met you. I've run into this in past (last summer), and it only got worse. I told him I only wanted to be friends, but then he'd keep sending me txt with sexual flirting, and I finally told him not that kind of girl, not going to work. "

" Thanks MTZ. Yes, you know, I'm far from a prude, but I haven't even spent 15 minutes with you in person and I need to know you and your ex wife broke three water beds??? Too much. "
