There have been moments in my life where I wanted to be in a relationship. I wanted to be dating someone. I thought that my life would be so incredibly happy and uncomplicated, if this would just happen.
But then when the opportunity has presented itself, I am just not so interested anymore. There is a guy in my new ward who has asked me out MULTIPLE times. I went out with him a few weeks ago and had a good time, but wasn't really all that interested in going out with him again. He was very persistant and just kept asking me out. Finally the other night he called again and asked me out. After telling him that I had plans for the upteenth time... he asked if he "should keep trying or just give up at this point". I had to tell him that I just wasn't interested in him like that.
I have never had to deal with this situation before and didn't quite know what to do. I wanted to be as kind as possible to him, but not lead him on. This is difficult!! I just hope that it won't be too awkward at church now.
I find it ironic that when I wanted to have a relationship I didn't ever have one. And now that I don't want one, I could have one.
I could have had him, I just didn't want him.

Yeah. I don't understand why girls do that either.
Ahhh...life. Guys always show up in threes for me and disappear in threes as well.
Serious. Irony is all that explains it.
Question to Jon:
Are the words "irony" and "iron" related at all?
I figured you'd be the person to ask.
I'll look into it.
I know what you mean! Only one guy in my ward had enough guts to ask me out, and I ended up not being as interested in him as I thought I might be. I was all excited, thinking that something might actually happen after all these years of famine. Oh well. We can just keep looking, I guess.
Looks like Iron and Irony aren't the same at all. These two entries come from the Online Etymology Dictionary:
iron
O.E. isærn (with M.E. rhotacism of -s-), from P.Gmc. *isarnan (cf. O.S. isarn, O.N. isarn, M.Du. iser, O.H.G. isarn, Ger. Eisen) "holy metal" or "strong metal" (in contrast to softer bronze) probably an early borrowing of Celt. *isarnon (cf. O.Ir. iarn, Welsh haiarn), from PIE *is-(e)ro- "powerful, holy," from PIE *eis "strong" (cf. Skt. isirah "vigorous, strong," Gk. ieros "strong").
irony
1502, from L. ironia, from Gk. eironeia, from eiron "dissembler," perhaps related to eirein "to speak" (see verb). Used in Gk. of affected ignorance, especially that of Socrates.
Hmm, well thanks Jon.
At times I kinda feel like the sidekick in National Treasure...tagging along trying to imitate the great brains I'm surrounded by.
Did you give him the "it's not you it's me" line? Does he smell? He smells doesn't he? That's it.
you should make friends with a really pretty dramatic girl. they always have lots of BF's and it reminds us why we are sooo blessed not to have one... or at least the wrong one.
