A Day in the Life of DIW

In case you were wondering, yes, we all have our Dear Serial days.

frenchie
: hi honeybun

serial
: whaddup dollface??

frenchie
: oh, nothing
i was going to get some advice on how to not respond to the boy
i just.... ugh. feel awful just flipping the ignore switch

serial
: You already dumped him.

frenchie:
i know!
and i think he's trying to worm his way back in or something?
i think he thinks it's working

serial
:
Poor guy.

frenchie:
i know

serial
:
The only way to take the plunge is to stop replying completely
I mean, I wouldn't suggest that
if it weren't clear he's delusional
I've had more than one guy I dated for awhile
broke it off with
and then texted back and forth a little bit
Like, he'd send a friendly
thing and i'd reply nicely
made it easier when I ran into him on the street

frenchie:
yeah...

seria
l:
but his courtesy has run its course.
No mas.

frenchie
:
maybe he's not delusional? i dunno.
he just seems way too caring
i don't like it

serial
:
I feel like I'm missing something
why wouldn't you ignore him?
Because it'll hurt his feelings?

frenchie
:
because he's nice and he means well
yeah
it would be a weird blow to him for me just not to answer

serial
:
Well then you could always lie to him
Ignore him for a week
then say
"Sorry I haven't been replying, just really busy"
then ignore him for two
(or, you know, baby steps)

frenchie:
hmm. that could work

serial
:
He'll know you're lying
but that's OK
It eases the blow of being ignored a bit
But when you say
"sorry I haven't been replying"
and he replies to that
you must NOT RESPOND

frenchie
:
ahhhh
true

serial
:
even to direct questioning

frenchie
:
i see

serial
:
That's my advice

frenchie
:
i kinda want to say "you give me both the heebies and the jeebies now. please go away"

Need your opinion. Kind of in this situation from a guy's point of view and I told the girl if you want me to stop talking to you just let me know. I am self conscious and don't want to bother people if they are not interested.

I wanted her to say "yes" so I can move on as well but she said "I will let you know if you are bothering me" then goes on talking about something I asked her earlier then she doesn't talk to me for a week.
