He says:

Actually I might spend a night in a cabin on the Waccamaw
and do some kayaking

Oh, you know, and being pious, of course
You?
He says:

She says:
Oh nice
He says:

She says:
I hate chores
He says:

She says:
Why did I think they'd go away when I grew up?
I think I need to have kids. Make them start doing some dishes.
He says:
they just get more and more and more
She says:
srrsly
He says:
we need FUN in our life...hhhmmmmm
This is where I start to feel squeamish. I mean, OK. I like fun. But that long "hhhmmmmmm" felt like a hot breath across a phone line, right? That's not fun. It certainly ain't sexy. So I tried to keep it light and jokey. I figure, can't we all agree that work sucks, eh? Eh?
She says:
Oh, what, like work isn't FUN for you?
It doesn't bring you enough JOYJOYJOY?
He says:
there you go again..scarcasim...I LOVE IT!
She says:
I just can't help it
I'm glad someone around here appreciates it
He says:
I do...let it FLY!!!
She says:
ha
I still have to figure out different types of humor.
Not everyone thinks I'm hilarious, apparently.
He says:
i find you hilarous and interesting...
I don't want bald, married guys my dad's age to find me interesting. Especially if they can't spell for shit. Again, I retort with a joke.
She says:
Me, too!
That's why we get along
There's a pause, so I think it's over. Oh, no.
He says:
so.,...
tell me something unique
Um, what? Is this how old people flirt? Is he that bored? I hardly know this guy. He works in a different building. (I think his WIFE works in my building though.) Are we all of a sudden on Match.com? I play it safe by playing stupid.
She says:
??
He says:
lol
see...you haven't figured me out yet...I am haviong a tought ime with an outage over here and thoiught I would settle my stress by being silly wiht you
sorry
She says:
ahhhhh
I'm slow sometimes
He says:
not a problem...
OK, DIW. What is this? Am I being paranoid? Is he just so well-meaning and innocent and I'm the one projecting? Should I avoid this guy?
I'm thinking that yes, this man is flirting, and he's creeptastic, and you should avoid. AVOID.
ReplyDeleteI dunno if he's serious, but I'm creeped. Shouldn't that be enough?
Definitely seems a bit creepy to me. I've avoided people who've had very similar conversations with me, and I've yet to regret that.
ReplyDeleteAvoid avoid avoid! I can feel my skin crawling over the interwebs :P
ReplyDeleteAs a man, I can confirm he was "building up to something naughty" (my quotes). I don't think you're being paranoid... I like the comment about Match.com, brought back some happy (??) memories.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! I'll keep my distance. Here's the extra sketchy part: I think he's going to this huge out-of-town conference I have coming up.
ReplyDeleteI should bring my mace.
Oh, before I saw it was you posting this, I figured this was some other young thing purposely flirting with this older, marrieder man. Like you really had met on Match or something. Now that I know the facts–RUN.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like cigarette from oh so long ago...Remember that guy? Awkward creepiness all rolled into one fantastic corn-dog of yuck.
