Communication Phobia...

Well, according to a newsletter I received, apparently I have a communication phobia. Backstory - A while ago I joined EHarmony. Well, out of curiosity, I began talking with someone on there. From initial appearances, he seemed to be a nice guy - works in PR, seemed to have his head together and eehhh... okay. Emails are harmless, right? Well, when we started talking on the phone, when he sounded a tad "Howdy Doody" ish, I immediately started to sense some warning signs. On our 3rd phone call (and they were not consecutive - I am a very busy gal, ya know), he tells me that he "talked to [his] church group about me". HELLO - CHURCH GROUP? Is he outta his cotton pickin' mind???

The QUICKEST way to drive me batty is to talk about me to other people, esp. a church group. 1) they don't know me; 2) we're not in a relationship where you would need religious counsel - just initial talking to stages, 3) I'm not converting so people need to understand that right in the beginning and 4) Mormons need not apply, ju know? I almost went down that path ONCE, and we won't go for a second. This gal is born and baptized Catholic and proud of it.

SO, needless to say, I ceased any and all communication right after that conversation and nary a peep since before Xmas. The man sent me cookies (which Roomie questioned if they were toxic or not), has a phobia of marshmallows (don't ask) and that high pitched voice of his makes me think he's ala Clay Aiken.

Today - what happens - HOWDY sends me an email to my home account AND my work account "to talk". Buddy - there is NO NEED to talk. I'm a busy gal. I made it clear there was no interest and when a man chases, that really is a turn off. When it comes to relationships, I believe in a 50/50 split. When that gets outta wack, oh hell no.

Needless to say, Meowmix screens all future potential suitors. After H., Mark, A. and a few others, she's got a even lower tolerance for B.S. than I do. I still crack up at the day she took H. aside nicely and told him what she would do to him should my heart get trampled. He's terrified to this day of her. Plus, as an added deflection, there is always Roomie with her hand on the hip, sarcastic tone and initial interrogation.

Let Howdy try to get through them first *LOL* This gal has some shoppin' to do.
