About two weeks ago I met a cute guy who was hanging out with my friends at a bar we frequent. I assumed since they were all talking together that they knew this guy pretty well, especially when they knew that he lived on my street. I took that opportunity to speak to him and see if he was as interesting as he was attractive. We talked for a while about our neighborhood, street, and flats, as well as other small inconsequential get-to-know-you conversation. After an hour or so he got my number and a while later I left with another friend of mine and walked home.
At around 2am that night he rang my buzzer. I ignored it, but immediately felt that it was quite an odd twist in events. What was he thinking? That I’d answer the door in the middle of the night with open arms and want to screw with him? I mean, seriously? Am I the only one around who finds that a complete turn off? Don’t people usually have some history before they start having booty calls? I cannot imagine what signal I gave off that said that this was okay behavior. I ignored him.
I thought it odd but put it out of my mind because he didn’t call, which was good because I didn’t want to have to deal with telling him what a prick I thought he was. But this last Thursday, my buzzer went off at 3am. Now, not only was a completely annoyed at having again been woken up in the middle of the night, but I thought it was totally inappropriate and creepy. I again ignored him.
This is now doubly weird. I didn’t answer the week before and he somehow things that after another week has gone by that I’ll answer and want to see him. The guy is off his rocker.
I talked to my friends to find out what they knew about him. Ends up they don’t know him well at all and were all very disturbed to learn that he was acting like a freak. We started thinking up ideas of how to casually suggest to the guy that this was not fitting behavior. One friend suggested that a bunch of the guys go over to his house in the middle of the night and ring his buzzer. When he answers, they will go and shove his head in the toilet and ask if he got the message. I think I might just take them up on that.
Oh, and he better watch out. The next time he sees me he is going to have to deal with the wrath of Dawn.
Please tell me this isn’t the normal dating scene of 2009.
