Black Magic Ti Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 This is a bit of venting and a bit of trying to figure out what to do. I have a friend, who is an ex, and we have been making some pretty good strides in becoming friends. But he has this annoying habit. We were friends before we started dating, part of the same social group. Not especially good friends, but friendly. We broke it off about 2 years ago. So now we see each other every so often at the same bar. Ok fine. Well, and this has been going on for the last year, when he sees me, even if I am with other people, he will demand, not gently ask, but demand my attention. Often times being somewhat rude to my company. Now if I am in the mood to just run into somebody and chat for a few minutes I don't mind. But I don't always want to HAVE to give my attention to him just because he is there. However, I try to start things in what seems to me a more regular way, a email or text to say "hey how's it going?" Then from there we can progress to the "well let's meet up" stage, then I can be sure that I have set time and place to meet up and give him my full attention. He just doesn't respond. He is a sensitive creature, so I don't really want to hurt his feelings. So telling him to f*** off is really not how I would like to handle this. But it is so frustrating. Any clues, insight, advice?
