@HumanEarth Desktop computer works as tv too and connects to internet. But really, no phone?
You might like having fun with it. I taught my mom lots of things and she really enjoys it. :) Like listening to music or news while doing chores, etc.

I can illegally download anything I want for free on the desktop.

Ever hear of thing called Napster back in 2001 and before that we had Lan Parties. We people would get together with their computers and link them together and swap files.

Plus where I live CB Radios are still king of the wireless, because cellphones don't work here in the deep country farm lands

@being Yeah, more and more weird behaviors are coming out these days.

@being hey just wanted to say I hope your day is going well 😊 today is employee appreciation day at my work so we all got treated to subway.

@Casheyane yeah it's definitely no good. Is your day going well? Mine has been pretty good 😊

@Caleidoscope I think that's adulting for us Lol.

@Thevy29 Adulthood dilemmas. But actually, I still like to believe that if a person really wants to see you, they'll make time.

@eMortal I like a direct approach, dating wise.

But for this matter, no, I do not consider him a candidate. For me, I really just wanna spend time and talk to new faces, find people who could inspire and tickle my mind. I would not call him insignificant. But I would say I don't know him enough, and I don't know the other acquaintance we're supposed to have gone out with anymore, ergo the purpose of the catch-up.

About the guy, tbh, he is not at par with my standards of bare minimum for a person who can tickle my mind.

But having known each other long ago, even then, I would think I never gave them any reason to think I'd ever be the kind of woman who would entertain another guy like that if I am already attached.

I think he thinks too highly of himself. And by being sneaky, he unknowingly disrespected my own values.
That and I have high standards for the person I wanna date. By that standard, the insignificant may apply to the weird guy, yeah.

@Casheyane I agree that it's insulting when people like that think you would disrespect my partner. I had guys on SW ask me why my husband is ok with me using SW, as if SW is a dating site or something? They're just showing the truth about their motives if they think chatting with them would disrespect my partner lol.

Nothing wrong with having high standards for either friendships or dating. There's a big difference between saying you wouldn't date someone, and saying they are insignificant as a person. Besides, who would want to be friends with someone who tried to trick them into a date anyways, life is too short for that nonsense.

I also think it's annoying when guys act like they want to be friends, then turn around and want something more from you.

@Nightwings
Yup.

A person who knows what he/she wants would act like it. A person who knows what he/she deserves would not settle for any less.

And if the intentions are clean and sincere, then all the more reason to be direct.

@Ferric67 I didn't wanna assume.
But he just gave me a reason not to wanna meet up.

@Casheyane I don't blame you
He needlessly made it awkward
