The Radio Manager

This guy was a chunky, light-bright atheist from Minnesota. He was quiet, hard to read and slightly awkward with an almost ‘gentle giant’ demeanor. I think we probably went on one date after he returned from out of town in Chicago? Following our initial interaction, we communicated with ease and had sex often until his mood began to “flip back and forth between sweet and sour,” or that of someone diagnosed with a bi-polar disorder. From jump, I maintained the mentality that we were essentially “casual friends with bennies.” One minute he’d be speaking of us dating more exclusively (with time, of course) in the future then on another complaining about how much of a hassle it was to have sex with me. That was a new one, lmao! Sex and Relationship Columnist Sophia Benoit at GQ stated in her excerpt, “when someone is sending you mixed signals, under what circumstances should you keep trying, and when should you walk away? When it comes to deciphering any level of mixed signals, the golden rule is: Pay as much attention to their actions as you do to their words.” Another article (male point-of-view) I read summarized that men either have a valid reason to take it slow, he’s missing his cue off the strength of the mixed messages he could be receiving from you or they’re just not interested. Overall, I think dating would be easier if both parties eliminate the excuses and effectively communicate their desires or intentions from jump.

Side note: I linked with ya boy after the Thanksgiving holiday and let’s just say ain’t shit changed, but my number.
