Good for you! And good for him not to behave badly about getting rejected.

As flattering as it may be to imagine this guy pining away for you, I gotta say, we SPs tend to live in the present moment. If we realize we don't have a chance with someone, we don't waste our time with that person. Keirsey uses the Aesop's fable example of the fox not wasting his time on the grapes he can't reach to describe how SPs tend to view love relationships. It's not that we don't have strong feelings, it's that we prefer to move on rather than sit around suffering indefinately after getting rejected by someone we thought was potential life-partner material.

Excellent. Progress. Now stick to your guns!

Truthfully, I'd really like to believe its progressed. It would be such a relief.

But every time I reject him as a romantic partner, it seems this always happens: he talks about a normal, neutral subject and everything seems casual for a few weeks/months. Then, he'll start.. hinting again. At a romantic relationship of sorts. He's said he keeps thinking up these questions/topics because he "just keeps wanting to talk to [me]".

UPDATE: Anyway, this time all seems well. But he just told me he'll always be there if I change my mind (or not).

And I told him firmly, to 'move on' because I'll never change my mind.

And you know what he said? "I will never give up."

(is trying very hard not to pull out hair)

Okay, really. Could someone kindly enlighten me on this? It doesn't seem to go with the Aesop's fable of giving up and moving on... Some people may think I'm being waaay oversensitive about this issue but it irks me. Its been on-going for quite a while and its terribly frustrating. Not to mention creepy. Is that just ESFP intensity?

Either way I really, really, REALLY NEED HELP GETTING RID OF THIS PERSON AHHH.
