So, someone thinks i'm naive. I know i'm naive. Then again, i think i reached the peak of cluelessness this past week when i unthinkingly gave someone my phone number. Why did i do that? Because he asked. Not being practiced in turning down requests for my phone number, and because he seemed like a normal person with perhaps business/networking reasons to telephone, i gave it to him. I didn't think it was a date or anything like that.
I D 10 T ERROR.
Because he called at least three times between when i gave it to him and the evening of that same day even though he knew i was working and proceeded to call a total of 12 times, plus a text message, plus even calling my BOSS and asking them to get a hold of me, in the next three.
Y'know, if he'd left one message that afternoon, i might have actually returned the call. Checking my messages after work and discovering three in five hours freaked me out just a teensy bit.
The next man who asks for my phone number will have to have references and go through psychological testing before i give it to him!
