This is why I stay locked in my little apartment. They are still stalking me. It's my fault I should have kept my mouth shut. I can't go anywhere with them knowing where or they will show up. |
My mom suggested something like that, 20 years ago or so, when I told her I'd be taking my girlfriend (my first, back then) to a restaurant and a movie.
When my mom said: "Sounds like fun, maybe I and *** will come too" (she was divorced for about a year or two, and had a new boyfriend, with whom she's still living nowadays), I told her to better not try it, or I'd not talk to her for a decade.
She didn't show up. Fortunately. For her.

PS: About girlfriends... someone remembered Ms. NoHints from a few tens of pages back, whom I invited to a restaurant that had turned, unbeknownst to me, into a super-highend exclusive place?
Yeah, that one. I took her somewhere else, had some fun, then thought to myself "Youre such an idiot, will you never learn?", dated her despite knowing I probably shouldn't, and winged it, disregarding everything from the past.
Well... I'm not single anymore since some time, and I love it, because of her.
Now, if necessary, I ask if I need to know something (other way around too), and all communication back and forth is clear, straight forward, and without beating around the bush. Best of all, it's almost impossible to misinterpret.
If she asks, I can even tell her I don't like her clothes (as long as I tell her why), and she will interpret it a "He doesn't like these clothes", instead of "OMG, he hates me, I'm ugly, and the relationship will be over soon!" Wonderful
The 'hint-less life' was a bit difficult to start out with (even though I've always said I wanted that), but now that we got into the habit of just asking and expecting a straight forward answer without having to read between the lines, it's as easy as it gets
