You don't want me at all? Well, I'm going to ignore that and pursue your ass anyway.
"No means no!" Doesn't it? Not according to Sam. Maybe it's because he's European. Maybe it's male stubbornness. Maybe it's the fact men don't want to admit defeat, especially by women.
I met Sam through a dating site. Admittingly, when you meet someone from a dating site, you usually consider the event you go on with that person to be a date. Right? Well, what if you invite the person to attend a Zombie Walk *braaaaains* with your friends? Is that a date? Maybe.
When I was browsing through Sam's pictures on the dating website, I noticed that one of them was a Zombie Walk. Well, I never attended a zombie walk before but had planned on it along with my few friends. I'm a fairly social creature, so I invited Sam to join us.
Sam met with me and my friend Pete at my apartment. We all got ready together. Squirting blood (fake, of course) on each other, and did a killer (ha, ha) job of makeup.
Sam stuck by my side most of the evening, which is what one would expect, and tried to bump against my knee and touch my arm during the movie we saw that night, Zombieland!!! But I was a bit anxious and setback, and also still recovering from my breakup.
I don't like being the type of girl who leads guys on and leaves them hanging. I hate it when people do that to me so I don't return the favor. So, since I wasn't ready for Sam, I contacted him.
Me: Hey, I want to be honest. I can really only be friends with you at this point. I can't give you a relationship. I'm not ready. We're not going to have sex. The only thing I can offer you is a friendship.
Now you would think by hearing that the guy would say, yes, okay, thanks for telling me, or something along those lines. Not Sam. Sam doesn't give up.
Sam: Well, I will still talk to you but I am interested in a romantic and physical relationship.
Okay, Sam, did you not hear what I just said? Let me try again.
Me: No, seriously. I can't give you any of that. It won't happen. I guarantee it. It's best not to have any expectations about me.
Sam: I don't have expectations. But I still am interested to have a romantic or physical relationship with you.
By this point I didn't know what to say. I laid it out clear. I told him I'm not interested. I was honest.
See, this is why we run and hide and avoid, avoid, and avoid. Some people just can't take no for an answer.
