I hate the word “date” and the phrase “going out.”
They make me feel so uncomfortable when used on me.
I like hanging out with guys, but then they pull the “date” card and I’m immediately turned off, like I won’t even open conversation with the person, it’s that troubling.
This guy asked me on one of those, and I said sure, because I guess why not, but hot damn, it is REALLY unsettling. Like I’d talk to this guy and hang out with him just fine, but when he refers to it as “going out,” I just want to avoid him and call off all “dates”. I can’t, because I feel obligated to talk to him after he brings up sob stories of trust issues and his old friends leaving him. I mean, I feel bad and all, but I also don’t really feel a connection talking to him. He posts his entire life on Facebook and only asks about my day and how I’m doing. I can’t stand it. I hate being in this position.
I know I’m just being a whiny b**** right now, but hey, that’s what this site is for!
