Jilly Bean Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Its my own fault. PARTIALLY. I opened a can, and forgot JUST how wormy it would be. Almost three years ago, I met a guy at NAMM. Without going into too many specifics, he is a very well known and respected professional grammy-winning musician, who has toured with some phenomenal artists. I liked him well enough when we met, as he was SO humble, considering the world he lives in. Put it this way, having his "buddy" Eddie Van Halen drop over for an impromptu jam is the norm for him. OK, enough name dropping. lol. Suffice to say he is incredibly down to earth, and really doesnt get into that whole lifestyle. Anyhoo... After we met, he started the HOT pursuit. He would call me multiple times a day, texting constantly. It was WAY too much, and turned me off, so he got the boot. This was after I told him he was contacting me WAY too much (9 calls a day is NOT what I am looking for ). Flash forward to a few weeks ago. He found me online through a recent project of mine, and contacted me. I responded pleasantly, as it was nice to hear from him. He then pushed for a phone call, which I told him I would do, and then I never got around to it. So, he started calling again. FINALLY, on TUE, I returned his call. We had a lovely chat, and I enjoyed it. We made plans for dinner in Malibu in a few weeks and left it that we would be in touch before then. Since then, he has gotten back into his old habits. I receive at least two phone calls, and two texts PER DAY. I haven't responded since our call. Now, I like him. And I WOULD date him (this includes me going to the Grammy's - lol), but once again, he has reminded me why he is a mental patient. So, do I tell him I have a BF (George Glass)? Or, how do I get out of this now?
Meaplus3 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Well..you could always start calling him 10 x per day to see how he likes it. Seriously..he sounds a bit needy. I'd just tell him straight out that his calling and texting like mad are annoying. Good luck. AP:)
jerbear Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 So, do I tell him I have a BF (George Glass)? Or, how do I get out of this now? It's Hollywood, everyone dates everyone! You really don't get out unless you move or change your number.
amymarieca Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 He does sound pretty needy to me. Personally, this is a huge turn off and it scares me away. I would just tell him that if he wants any chance with you, he has to stop contacting you so much. I must admit, you have really sparked my interest as to who this person is. Are you sure you can't tell us?
joshaz Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Malibu... Famous musicians... Sounds really harsh...
Author Jilly Bean Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 Yes, he is INTENSELY needy! I mean, we all like a guy who shows interest, but this is too much. OK, so you guys think I just tell him to back off a bit? Maybe I will try that again. Obviously ignoring his messages doesn't work... Amy - I could! But, maybe later. He plays keys, I can tell you that much...
2sunny Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 i wouldn't care who it was - that is just too much for me. i'd never meet him if i were you, JB. but then again, i view famous folks as just regular people who have weird jobs that allow peeps to recognize them... they are still just regular people when they get into bed at night - all alone! he he
D-Lish Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 So, do I tell him I have a BF (George Glass)? Or, how do I get out of this now? :lmao: Just be upfront and admit you're sleeping with your brother Peter.
xpaperxcutx Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Jilly he sounds needy, but maybe you should just go on one date with him before telling him to go away. Better to just have a fun night than spending a night alone in bed in front of the tv?
jerbear Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 :lmao: Just be upfront and admit you're sleeping with your brother Peter. Hey d-lishcious, where do you come up with this stuff! :lmao:
XNemesisX Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Maybe I just take the cowardly way out when I want to get rid of an unwanted suitor, but I just ignore them until they eventually go away. I won't respond to calls, texts, emails, etc. Eventually he will get the hint and go away.

Hes very sweet. And I do like him. IF he called me once every two weeks.
quankanne Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 sounds like ya got yourself a real sticky booger of a man. Maybe you can start being obvious about how this is a *friendship* and nothing more ... "You don't know how much I enjoy being your buddy," etc. There's nothing like the Friend Zone to kill off any thoughts of wanting something more from someone. Almost like being told you have to kiss your brother or something
Author Jilly Bean Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 :lmao: Just be upfront and admit you're sleeping with your brother Peter. HAWT. Malibu... Famous musicians... Sounds really harsh... Feel free to come with if you like! He'd probably just call ahead and make it a table for three. Jilly he sounds needy, but maybe you should just go on one date with him before telling him to go away. Better to just have a fun night than spending a night alone in bed in front of the tv? Totally needy! I do like him, and I would love the dinner in Malibu I am sure. Its just thinking about how hell be AFTER that! Maybe I shouldnt put on makeup or shower first. lol Maybe I just take the cowardly way out when I want to get rid of an unwanted suitor, but I just ignore them until they eventually go away. I won't respond to calls, texts, emails, etc. Eventually he will get the hint and go away. Thats what I do, too. But he doesnt relent. Odd.
2sunny Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Oh, I have met him already, Sunny. Hes very sweet. And I do like him. IF he called me once every two weeks. ok then JB - set your boundaries with him - in a very firm manner - and stick to them! let him know exactly where your boundaries are. if he tries to push the limit... he's disrespecting you right there. in the meantime - maybe he'll be good for sex only... he he j/k
jerbear Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Totally needy! I do like him, and I would love the dinner in Malibu I am sure. Its just thinking about how hell be AFTER that! Maybe I shouldnt put on makeup or shower first. lol Good segway to the shower scene of JBs Gone Wild. Not taking a shower that day won't deter some guys, I'm one of them.
D-Lish Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Hey d-lishcious, where do you come up with this stuff! :lmao: Didn't you watch the Brady Bunch Jer?? George Glass was a bf Jan made up to be more popular like Marsha:lmao: I can't believe I'm the only one that got the brady bunch reference!! I peed my pants laughing.

Never pushy. If I chide him, he will become more apologetic. Hes not the type you bed for the hell of it. Hes not that hot. lol. Sweet, smart, talented, rich and connected, yes. But hot? Ut, uh.

Sorry to hear the incontinence is kicking up again, though.
quankanne Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 :lmao: tell him you sleep with stuffed animals each and every night, and they share some really deep stuff with you ...

Are you the one who would go for the ones that are model-esque, or someone that's more intellectual? And does sex play an important part?
Author Jilly Bean Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 :lmao: tell him you sleep with stuffed animals each and every night, and they share some really deep stuff with you ... Well, I want to mellow him out, Anne, not have him call the authorities on me...

Are you the one who would go for the ones that are model-esque, or someone that's more intellectual? And does sex play an important part? I go for physical neanderthals who are funny and smart. Of COURSE sex plays a part. Hes that NICE GUY that we all dismiss because were aren't raging over him, but he MAY end up being awesome! Im willing to give him a chance, its just that hes turning me off again with the constant contact.
D-Lish Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Oh, I got it, my sister! Of course I got it- lol. I loved the Brady Bunch!! Sorry to hear the incontinence is kicking up again, though. I have diapers.... Physical attraction is important.... If David Foster was calling me 9 times a day I'd be turned off. Now- if Jensen Ackles was calling me 9 times a day- I'd be upset he wasn't calling me enough;)
