Don't tell me to be honest

It really pisses me off. Went on a couple of dates with a girl last week, didn't enjoy myself all that much so I didn't ask her out again. So she decides to call me and asks me if I want to go out, I tell her no, I didn't think it was going anywhere. Apparently that wasn't good enough because she calls again today and wants to know why. I tell her again that I just didn't think it was going anywhere. She keeps pressing me, so I told her I just wasn't that into her. Then she has to know why. Long story short, after about a half an hour on the phone I got annoyed enough to just let it rip. It wasn't good.

Anyways, don't ask someone to be honest unless you can handle it.

Another charming thing people do when you are trying to tell them you don't want to go out again? Try and argue that NO, the two of you DO have so much in common and SHOULD continue going out.
Listing the things you have in common and trying to talk you out of your decision is not any fun for the person who is trying to be nice and NOT say all the real reasons you don't want to go out again.

That's outstandingly fantastic.

I wish I could do that from time to time...again, I'm way too concerned with other people's feelings. Which is not always a good thing.

Can I get a morbid recap of the events?

Sounds like you did the right thing - can you say over the edge, that reaction after a couple of dates, too much.

Even though she didn't want to hear it and was pissed, there's still a chance later on she may be grateful you told her the truth.

I'm not an ass, but sometimes I am just not sensitive at all. Anyways the morbid recap. I don't know how morbid it really is but, on our second date last week we went out for a drink and she makes the remark that some guy she dated for like 2 months was there. He was gross. I don't even know how to explain him, other than gross. I usually don't care about that stuff at all, but he was just gross. Well, I didn't want to take her out again after the first date anyways but felt kind of bad because we had gotten a little tipsy and one thing led to another, yadda yadda. So it's on this second date that I start to get this feeling that she is actually just slutty. Well, girls don't like it when you think they're slutty because you slept with them on the first date. I thought it was just alcohol fueled until I saw gross guy. So I told her. Not good. I also told her that it made her seem pretty needy and self conscious to call and pester me for a half an hour just because I didn't want to date her anymore when I had known her for all of one week in the first place.

I digress, you are an ass. Why didn't you say hi to Leroy?

And here I thought this rant was going to be about the phrase "Not gonna lie." Why do you say this? Unless you've given me a reason not to believe you, I'll take you at your word.
