• Puppies, part 2

  I wrote about this earlier, but it's still a problem, so I'm writing about it again.
  
  So there's this guy that's into me and he knows I'm not into him but apparently that's not the least bit discouraging. He still calls every other day, and often calls multiple times in the same day. Today he freaked out because he didn't see me, and complained that he won't be able to until Wednesday (omg...that's 3 days from now). And said, "If I don't get enough of you on Wednesday, I'll have to come see you on Thursday." Um...that's a weird thing to say.
  
  But here's the thing: we're friends. And I actually like him as a friend. And we are also coworkers, which would make it a very bad idea for me to do anything to damage our friendship. But seriously...this stuff is getting to me. Calling me 20 minutes before you're going to see me, and then talking to me when you see me, and then calling me 20 minutes after I leave is just excessive. But it's not cool to be like, "Dude, you call me way too much."
  
  Maybe it's a cultural thing? I wonder this because he's from another country and he apparently doesn't think that his excessive and overt "I like you" behaviors actually send the message that he likes me. He insists that he sees us as "just friends", but "just friends" don't say/do the stuff he does. The only person I talk to every couple of days is my best friend, and even then I usually call her because I actually have something to say other than "hi."
  
  I'm just complaining at this point, I guess. But seriously...I'm more of a cat person, if you know what I mean. (Actually, I mean that literally, too--I like cats better than dogs.)
