Garrulous Jaw: 1, Speedy Love Bomber

  I really enjoy writing, especially about anything on my mind and whatnot. I decided this would be a good way to exercise that hobby and need. So I'm starting a little blog series. It's a habit of mine to talk even without an audience. This will at least reach a few people. 

Anyway, Ep 1 is now in session. 

  Lately I've been dealing with a guy who was on my back like a tick. Truly I'm not into him at all. Don't get me wrong, he is really sweet and well mannered. However I crave a certain depth and substance in my conversations and relations with people. I've known him two months tops. Needless to say there is no depth in our relationship as friends so far so I'm not getting the mental stimulation, I'm aware, I require.

He's not terribly smart either. It's isn't something I hold against him however it causes a barrier of interests and communication in a way. Not to mention, we don't share any actual interests. I don't mind that either, however relationship wise, realistically, that's not going to go far due to it. There is no foundation for a true bond past friends there. 

  To say the least, he was going way too fast for my liking. Not just that, but I'm just not into him. He made me his home screen on his phone immediately. Hell, he was talking about marriage and having kids with me already. Sir...we are 17 what are you on??? We're not dating, WE'RE NOT EVEN IN A TALKING STAGE. You're a friend at most, I just met you, calm down. If I wanted something fast, easy, and shallow, I'd go mess around with frat boys. 

  I never reciprocated his affections because it wasn't mutual. I didn't like him, I never did anything to lead him on. Honesty is something i live by which is why I never reciprocated any actions of affection. I'm not going to lie to him and make him think something that isn't true. That's cruel. Not to mention that he's still a good friend. 

  However the lack of reciprocation and telling him to slow down seems to have gotten him off my back. He's not texting me all day if at all anymore. Which is fine, I don't really mind given the situation. It's an insane experience to set boundaries with guys in this age group. They all seem immature, which is reasonable because most people are still figuring stuff out. That's ok, but that's not for me. 

  Not to mention that he only seemed to get an interest in me after I cried about having a tough week and taking my shirt off while at the gym. It's easy to see that something isn't right with that.
