Is this too stark a text message?

[LanguidLobster]

I've been spending too much time with someone recently and lines have got blurred.

I haven't responded to any texts since Thursday until now but just sent one 'what do you actually want from me?'

Don't think that is too bad, is it?

It's a fair question but ime no good will come from asking it by text.

If you're having to deal with heavy emotional stuff by text, then you run for the hills.

Are you the person with anaemia?
And the cuddles with man friend?

Shamp yes!

Ok.
I think you need to concentrate on what YOU want.
( By sending the text you will have started a new conversation, if he replies.)

Yes it did start a brief convoy (knew he'd respond).

I had the chance to tell him I fucking hate being called pretty and he has to be more clear in conversations

More info please, OP. Are you married, single? How do you know this man; friends? Has anything happened between you already?

Erm...single (we both are), met as we live on the same street, chattered and started spending too much time together. My hormones started playing up and he told me quite firmly there would be nothing unless it was everything so no kissing has happened.

It was annoying me as he was too complimentary but I've been firm tonight and told him how much I hate it.

@Languid , have you had counselling ?

Oh dear god, not more of this non-relationship/pre-relationship nonsense. Was the advice on your other thread not enough?

Perverse maybe not...! Remember the saying you can lead a horse to water

I'll settle soon, just don't like anyone messing with my boundaries.

He's just sent me a text saying he doesn't want to get shot (he knows I have a gun, it's an antique family one and would probably need gunpowder to go so it was a joke).

He knows not to call me pretty now however.

Anyway thanks all, I've calmed down now as I've had my say.

I think this was a good step, I know from your last post that some people thought you may have led him on or weren't clear with your boundaries. Now you can be, and if he doesn't understand or respect after that, walk away.
