Accidentally made a guy fall for me...

by @Ninjaox

I met with a man today, although not so much a man as…. a boyish adult. He told me he liked me, or perhaps “loved” would be a better description. I was showered with things that most people would love to hear constantly: Compliments. I…..am not one of those people. Now, that’s just the oversimplified version. A more detailed explanation would go like this: I met with a man today, although not so much a man as… a boyish adult. We went out for lunch, and left there around five hours later. For the first three, we were doing all right. Managing to have pleasant conversation we even discussed our views on religion. The last two hours however I am not sure how I managed to endure. He told me he had "fallen in love with me", and that every word I spoke had him falling deeper. I explained that I have absolutely zero interest in any such things *(love, romance, all that jazz other people crave, you know how it is)* I however, am not capable of feeling those sorts of attractions. (don't want to be either) As I spoke, he would reply by saying he was falling harder... that I was pretty, handsome, cute, beautiful….etc. Not a word of what I said went into his head. ***And I knew it from the expression on his face, that I was only being viewed as something to conquer. To…..”fix”.*** That made the compliments even worse. ***I hate compliments to begin with, at least ones in regards to my appearance. For me, they are one of the worst triggers on my extremely long list. So is being treated like I’m broken.***

Notes

Not so much a poem, as trying to get these thoughts and feelings out. So yeah. This guy is currently my only friend in college. Ugh. Why.
