I don't really see myself progressing right now. All I've done today is lounge around the house watching TV. I guess it's ok to have days like those. I just have like no motivation to do anything.

I applied to live in this residence a few weeks ago. It's a program for people with mental health issues and I hope I get in. The only thing is that I'll be expected to have something to do each day so I can't stay home. That was sort of the reason I wanted to go there but now I'm like, I don't know what if I can't do that. I'd like to try it tho..

There is this guy I've been talking to online. I know him from grade school but I didn't really know who he was. He sort of randomly contacted me on myspace a while ago. Anyway, we were talking online the other day and he asked me if I'd had a boyfriend before and I said yes. then he asked me if I was a virgin. I was like, floored and totally creeped out. I said I wasn't gonna answer that, and his response was "fair enough" whatever that means... I haven't talked to him since and he has IM'd me 3 times and called my cell 4 times. I am not interested in him in a sexual way at all and I just find him to be a little creepy. the only reason I talked to him online the other day was bc I was lonely and needed to talk to someone. I don't talk to him that often and he's calling and IMing me a lot. Am I being mean and judgemental to not want to talk to this guy?

thats all for now. thanks for reading and have a good day.

First, Thank you for sharing.
Second...


>>Am I being mean and judgemental to not want to talk to this guy?

NO!!!!!!
quite frankly he Does sound a little creepy and aggressive. also, not that bright in catching a hint to lay off a bit.
maybe you need to be a little more direct and cut off conversation with this guy? shirley you can find someone else online to talk with besides this guy.
don't mean to sound so blunt but i'm getting a bad vibe AND a case of the willies from this guy on just what you've told me, and i've never even talked to him.
PLEASE PLEASE becareful here. i have a red flag flashing lights going off.

if it were me i'd cut all ties with this guy completely cuz he doesn't sound like the type to get a subtle hint. he sounds like one of those that slowly creeps into your life gathering information about you then soon learns where you work, live and spend your free time.

please becareful Angela

********************
on the other note
i'd say to give it a try. it sounds like a good place. and if you applied for it, it must have been something you were really interested in. i think having to go out everyday is a must. everyone needs to get out, whether it for walks, jobs, gardening, whatever it would be really good.
do they allow pets??

That would freak me out, is someone you haven't even met asked you that. I think the best thing to do is be honest with him with how you feel. If that doesn't work, block his messages. Good luck.

As far as no doing anything, I can relate to that, I am just finally crawling out of that hole of depression now. Take care

I'll be safe b2chica. and THANK YOU!!! i figured that I was right in cutting off from him but needed to vent to someone too. I don't think he is dangerous, just...weird and creepy, lol. I'm not sure what I'm gonna say to him yet. Probably just something like leave me alone and go away, lol.

I do not know if they allow pets. But I will find out when I have an intake meeting sometime soon. I don't have any pets of my own but I house sat for a couple who have a dog for a whole month and took care of the dog, and now I WANT a dog.

Happyflower, he went to my high school but I didn't know him. Yeah I might tell him how I feel. I'd rather just say "go away!" tho. thanks.

Angela, that residence sounds interesting and would definitely give you the challenge that you've been looking for. Good luck with that!

And I'm with the others on the high school person. (What an awful question to ask you!)

take care sweetie
