I turn down dates and dinners and movies because NOW IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME. Honestly, you tell them that and it's like a challenge, a red flag waving. Just leave me alone. Just be my acquaintance. Let me slip to the back of your mind; I don't want to be a person of importance in your life.
The caring will probably ask, "Is anything wrong. Can I help?" The affronted will get huffy. The sensitive will be hurt. It is rare that someone will simply understand.
ReplyDeleteTrue. And then there are some people who say leave me alone, when all they truly want is to be pursued. Complicated games. And I don't want to play.
