Am I being thick, or, given the background, is this email from Psycho Boy puzzling?

Hi Natalie,

Haven’t heard from you in a month I think. How have you been?

Is our coffee date purely illusory?

snufericious thinks I should give him a chance. Sigh.

On the one hand, his persistence is admirable.

On the other hand, psycho boys can be VERY sticky.

[nky]

Yes there is something to be said for his relentlessness. That said, his persistence is somewhat intrusive. How to draw the line?

[trashie_mak]

wow he tries so hard.... but no!!! stay away!!

[nky]

I have no time or patience for his nonsense. Yes I'm staying away!

[snufericious]

Yes, I think you should!

I mean in this day and age, the average male really lacks initiative so I give him props (maybe I am speaking about silicon valley males). (Although he does seem to be bothering psycho behavior...)

But I will handle it with the "get it out of the way" mentality. And if you really detest him, you can make things clear in person (i.e. I really dont have time for this etc.).

the beef I have with him is that he's trying to guilt me into meeting him. Also for a stranger, he's expecting alot from me for some reason. I think he needs to have more than initiative!

[snufericious]

btw, since he obviously has your email address, doesn't that mean you gave it to him at some point? And if i were him, I would assume that mean it would be Ok to contact you for a date?

[snufericious]

but then again ... he's not cute. haha maybe he's a super nice guy that will sweep you off your feet??? Ok I am just a romantic. Heard so many wonderful stories of couples that meet in the strangest of circumstances.

He's not smitten, he's just attention seeking.

even the stalkers are pathetic

[dieseldawn]

that's exactly what chinrei is on about. all these boys email her saying 'gosh i like you, please let me know when you are free for coffee'.

and does he ask her out? NOOO!

he expects her to tell him when she is free!!

Psycho boy doesn't even know how to ask his stalkee out perperly. Does he actually expect you to ask HIM out, giving him venue, time and budget? ARGH!

He deserves to be bitch slapped for being such an idiot.

A simple 'yes' answer would seal the deal, nat. You need to be cruel to be kind.

[ickleoriental]

important ... is he cute?

[nky]

I don't actyually remember what he looks like but I happen to know that his firm website contains his picture. No he is not!

[melvish]

I can vouch for the fact that he is extremely ordinary-looking. In fact, even his official photo betrays a lifetime of indulgence.

Not that we're shallow!

[ickleoriental]

dang!! it'd be so easy otherwise..
