In season four of Sex and the City there’s a very memorable episode. Change of a Dress. Miranda takes Carrie into a wedding dress and to lighten up the wedding idea with Aidan, she gets her to try on ugly dresses.
But it backfires. Carrie starts to hive and has a complete panic attack. When watching this episode years ago I thought what an extreme, dramatic reaction she is having.
Well last night I felt it.
I really was going to keep an open mind about him.
But between his 4 texts yesterday and then five more later last night asking, “ARE YOU HOME YET?!” and when I responded no, I wouldn’t be until after 10pm, he then responds with, “Are you still at work?!”
When I did send a quick text to politely say thank you for the package (literally, thank you for the v day package) he sent 3 responses immediately, with an inclusion of his plan on calling me tomorrow.
I just can’t. We met for 5 minutes. We didn’t even have a real conversation in person. We have traded a collective 10 facebook messages.
I can’t believe the reaction I am having right now. I am feeling serious anxiety and all I want is for him to lose my number. This is not the reaction I have to guys I’m interested in.
So here’s my deal when it comes to finding the right guy for me.
I’m happy. I have fantastic friends, the most loving family who are all like best-friends, a career path that I’m really excited about, triathlons and road races that I’m training for, boxing for a hobby, etc.
Therefore, I want someone who also has a life of their own. I want someone who is already happy but understands that together we can become happier.
But if you put it all on me, you’ll smother me. And I’ll run faster away from you than you can imagine.
oh yeah. run and run fast! why is it that a secure, independent, strong man is so damn hard to find these days?!
I agree RUN! He is too clingy.
Two words for him: Simmer Down.
Two words for you: Red Flag.
