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.

My youngest sister is still being a brat.

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.

The thing is, I haven't been feeding him excuses.

I've been too busy to meet up. Or generally uninclined. It's not a comment on him, it's a comment on my social life in general.

However, the whole "sweetheart" thing, combined with the passive-aggressive nature of the question "don't you love me anymore?" is inducing me to back away.

Well, you know the saying "if there's a will there's a way" ;)
You don't have to like his company. You tried, gave a chance to work, but it didn't. It happens.
It's a good thing that you keep trying, and surely it'll pay off sooner or later.
