I don't even know if I like this guy yet, it's so wierd, we've only met once, I was totally "meh" and now I feel like i've somehow signed up to be his txt buddy. Makes me want to cut off communication entirely, but then I feel like a bad person being prejudiced against him for the baggage I know is there and never giving a change to actually get to know him. But I wasn't interested before...argh. I feel like a judgey selfish person for not being interested.
Hil, I'd totally wait also, especially if fever is down and you aren't having horrible pain. If the pain does get super bad you can get Azo otc, but it will totally fuck with any lab results, so not a good idea to take it before going to Dr and getting the pee test, otherwise they won't know what to treat.
erin, you are not obligated to be attracted to anyone.
If you tell him you are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of attention he is asking of you, that should be understandable and relate-able enough for him to get the message. If he doesn't respond appropriately, then you are not obligated to continue the relationship, no matter how bad you feel about his situation. You are not a therapeutic implement.

You *aren't* prejudiced against him for his baggage; you're quite justifiably annoyed with him for texting you too much, and continuing to do so after you set a boundary. That's 2 vastly different things.
Erin, Trust your Spidey senses.
yes, it isn't a prejudice if he has been annoying you.
I think you should cut off all contact. you brought it up, you have been thinking about it and I endorse this line of action.
Is anyone else getting a 404 error for Livejournal?
Never mind - seems to be resolved
I just ordered this onesie for my friend's baby. My friend and her husband met in a science PhD program, so it seemed extra appropriate.
Poor Tim. He's just trying to clean the outside windows (which need cleaned desperately), and I was enlisted to clean the inside. So instead of doing my part to clean the inside windows, I dropped my pants and pressed my bottom against the window.
Fortunately he didn't scream and fall off the ladder. That would have been a shame-filled trip to the ER.
