I was standing there minding my own business, enjoying a
drink, eyeing out a soon to be empty table for us to lean on, when a huge
bodybuilder type guy starts talking to me. So I was polite, talked to him a bit
while watching the game. As the evening wears on, he attaches himself to me
limpet style and tries to get to know me. Eventually, I give him my bbm pin so
that he’ll stop asking for it. I turn down his offer of putting an eating a
workout plan together for me – I already have people who do that – and try to
steer away from the conversation about how often I eat protein and body fat
percentages.
The game ends and I dash out to my next engagement. He bbm’s
me through the night and next day. He then phones me so he can chat properly
and get to know me. I really don’t like talking on the phone, but go with the
flow.
We go for dinner on the Monday and I watch horrified as he
eats in one meal what I eat for dinner in a week. I even let him hold my hand.
Then when we say goodbye, I don’t let him kiss me (never on the first date!)
and also keep turning down his suggestions of him coming over to my house.
I kept telling myself to stick it out because he’s not my
usual type (emotionally unavailable pretty boys) and maybe I need to get out of
my comfort zone and try dating a nice guy.
Before the week was through and only one date down, I was
asked to join him for Father’s Day lunch with his entire family. He got upset
when I said I was going to be home alone and didn’t invite him over. He kept
asking if I missed him and got upset when I said “Ummm… No”.
So it all got me thinking, maybe there’s a reason we have
types and sure it’s good to try something new, but I discovered that new is not
always good. But it did reinforce how I know I’m not into a guy.
And here are the currently relevant top 10 signs I know I’m not into
someone. And there are so many more, but
these were my obvious ones.
1.
You would rather be home alone, doing your
ironing
2.
You see it’s him calling and mute the phone and let it go to voicemail
3.
You’re not particularly upset if he cancels
plans
4.
You feel a bit nauseous when he refers to
himself as your ‘new boyfriend’ (on the first date!)
5.
You say you can’t go out because you have made
up plans (that are cancelled at the last minute) and are happy to stay at home ironing, talking to your cat
6.
You hyperventilate and scream NO! when he asks
if you want to come over for a big family Sunday lunch (on Father’s Day!!)
7.
You roll your eyes a lot and eventually may even pull
an eye muscle
8.
You really don’t want him to come to your gym
because he’ll ruin your happy place and it would be quite embarrassing!
9.
You want to punch anyone who asks how he is
10. When
he deletes you from bbm or Facebook, you don’t really give a shit and are
thankful you don’t have to see the constant arbitrary updates and self-given
nicknames like “The Rock”
Now, if I had been into him, I would let the ironing pile
up, would let him kiss me on the first date, would have him over to my house
and would meet his family (an probably even attempt to speak Afrikaans).
But alas, this was not the case. After being deleted from
his bbm and Facebook, he asked me to send my pin again… but really, I could not
be bothered, because buddy, I’M JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU!
