ESI/LIE Conversations

[nanashi]

LIE:
Hi, (ESI's name here).
Are you up for some tacos at Tmaz Taqueria in an hour or two? My treat.

ESI:
Please consider learning how to plan ahead a little further.

LIE:
Is that a "No"?
I haven't eaten yet.

ESI:
Or put another way, the chances of me showing up with an hours notice is zero to negative zero.
That is a no

LIE:
How about tomorrow for dinner? The taco place is closed, but Seva is open.

ESI:
You pretty much called me fat, which pretty much earned you a spot on the permanent poop list.

LIE:
What?
You're not fat.
I could not have called you fat because I don't believe you are fat, and I never lie. Not lying makes my life easier.

ESI:
You're the one that wins against the odds. Consider finding another girl who is more physically to your liking.


-Adam: Man, this woman is a hard sell.

I know this was forever ago, but why did she think you'd called her fat?

I know this was forever ago, but why did she think you'd called her fat?

She was referring to an earlier conversation we'd had. She asked me about my previous GF's, and I stupidly told her the truth. That my ex-wife was 5'8" and weighed 118 lbs, and that all of my previous GF's were really skinny.

I said exactly nothing about her. She happens not to be as thin as my previous GF's, but she's not fat. She's fine. Definitely acceptable to me, and I'd be happy to be seen with her. In retrospect, I should have said that my previous GF's all were female and left it at that.

Honestly, I think she was looking for a reason to not go out with me. She's 43 or 44 and has never been married (which in my book is a caution flag), and she's fixated on SLI males like her father. (I can understand that. I was fixated on marrying a type like my SLI father, too.) That means that I'm not in the running, and while that isn't my preferred situation, I'm not going to try to change her mind.

I'm done trying to change any woman's mind.
