Guy problems

(moved from the old diary-type thing)

Some people just can't take a hint – apparently one has to whack them upside the head with a two-by-four.

There's this guy with whom I went out a couple of times, but I wouldn't even call it dating. I've kept a certain distance (it's been a year since we last met for more than a couple of minutes), but he still wants to meet... and I know it's not just to play games on the computer, or to have a drink together.

I should just tell him I'm not interested, but I'd have to be pretty harsh and I don't like that. *sigh* I wrote an e-mail to him, telling about all the stuff that's been going on (sort of a news update). I talked a lot about the Pride week, hoping that might be hint enough. Maybe I should have mentioned my girlfriend...

On the other hand, if I were in his position, I'm sure I would understand. If somebody avoids meeting me, saying they're too busy, and don't ever contact me first, well... that's a pretty big clue that they're not interested.

It's not that he's a guy, don't get me wrong. It's because he's a bore.

Pride

(moved from the old diary-type thing)

Another Pride week over... this was the first one I actually attended. Went to two Pride parties (the latter one with J, my girlfriend) and bought some Pride-themed stuff (just to show off and to support the organization, not because I needed it).. I gave one button to my sister, who seems to be very tolerant, even supportive, in her own quiet way.

This was also the first time that I was completely forthright about it to my parents. I told them I'd go to the parties, talked about the other events, left a program leaflet with them... OK, so they don't like it, but I'm not going to avoid the subject any more.
