Dear Yak,
I’m dating this IT consultant I met online. He’s kinda sweet, but I
think he has a personality disorder. You should have seen the
Valentine’s card he sent me. He made it himself. It had a picture of a
bleeding transplanted human heart on the cover and a few lines of HTML
code written inside. And the flowers he gave me had clearly been bought
in a supermarket.
Now he wants us to have a romantic dinner this weekend. But in light of
his weird ideas of romance, I’ve gone off him. How do I dump him quickly
without people thinking I’m a raging bitch?
Yours sincerely,
Lost That Lovin’ Feeling
Dear Lost That Lovin’ Feeling
Yes I do see your dilemma. There’s nothing more exhausting than spending
an entire evening trying to avoid kissing someone – it’s like dating a
cold sore.
But there’s good news as well. This is obviously just a classic case of
reverse psychology. He doesn’t know how to tell you face-to-face that
he’s over you, so he’s deliberately trying to scare you away by being
weird. And in his defence, you do sound like the kind of uptight,
opinionated, annoying person who’s constantly asked to leave licensed
premises, attracts a lot of road rage and gets their meals spat in by
waitstaff at restaurants.
Hope this helps.
With kind regards,
The Yak
