Look, I like my fantasy novels too, but I think we have some bigger issues at hand with the Craigster than his preferred fiction choics. I've tried to be empathetic and open minded to him to make sure Deb wasn't being overly judgmental, but time to call a LARP and LARP. This dude is rare. Don't brother-in-the-Lord me to get me to go off on your crazy walks in whatever the heck sort of park you want, state, local or otherwise. Yeesh! I guess in LARP-land they don't teach social skills, they just pass the grog and toss a spell at the serving wench.Sorry White Rider, I think the only fantasy going on here is the one where Deb was going to date you!-Es What, you mean you guys don’t have capes and magical staffs in your closet and a few shields and battle axes in your basement for the occasional live fantasy reinactment war?

I mean, i was at the doctors office and reading my paperback of a new author out there and when my doctor asked, oh, what are you reading? I sheepishly answered fantasy akin to the sheepishness i might have if, say, i brought a danielle steele sex book to the waiting room.<br/><br/>my word. there are no words.

In the name of God??? Sounds a bit too fetish to me...of course, maybe I'm just closed minded. I agree with Kristin about the "few" weeks...he seems a bit attached for someone looking for a sister in the Lord. Seriously, I would email him a one to two line email and tell him in no uncertain terms that you would like him to desist all contact with you. No explanation needed, just tell him to stop. He doesn't have any other contact info for you, right? Doesn't know where you live, etc... I would be a bit harsh 'cause I think the guy has issues. What say you, Es?

I didn't know a "few" had a specific number attached to it.. it could be three, four, or even five, but Craig has it all figured out. He should be a prototype for "how NOT to pursue the opposite sex." Maybe you should tell him to start his own line of "How-not" lessons to counter all the "How-to" books out there... That would be the best self-help he could get. ;) As far as useful advice, I really don't know.. he obviously doesn't get the "I'm ignoring you" vibe, so would it be too harsh to somehow let him know that you don't have any interest in this? I'm curious what Es and Janelle have to say. Well, well, well.. seems he’s keeping literal tabs on comments as vague as a “few” weeks.
