Finally saw BSG: Exodus I. Have to get around to seeing Exodus II before too long. Actually, have to catch up with a lot of things.

And on the horns of a dilemma...

"sweetheart, u r always too busy to see me! don't u love me anymore?"

This was messaged me from a guy I have been out with a grand total of four times in four months.

Four times. In four months.

Yeesh. What is it with men? Am I supposed to drop everything and pant when he's got a moment free?

The reason I'm too busy to see him until next week? I'm trying to finish a couple of zine stories before the 21st, attending gym classes after work, going to see Swan Lake (the all-male version) Wednesday, having drinks with a bunch of bloggers Thursday, and would really like a little time to sit down and breathe amidst all this.

Now, the tricky question: how to politely tell him, "Mate, you're clearly way too much maintenance for me, whatever relationship you think we have is over."

I'm open to suggestions.

"You'd think he'd've got the hint with one date per month that you have other things in your life and he's not the end-all-be-all. *shakes head*"

Not to mention that his grammar is horrible. That's a deal breaker in and of itself.

It's somewhat overused, but there's nothing wrong with telling him, "It wasn't personal, but I'm just realizing that I'm not interested in a relationship right now." You don't have to tell him that it's him you're not interested in.

I can pass it in a text message on a phone - my sister does the shorthand sometimes.

I'm thinking I might have to give the "you do know this is just friends, right?" spiel.
