Thanks so much for all the comments! You guys were EXTREMELY helpful (as always) and I think I may have gotten rid of White Rider at last!!! After much debate and thought, it was agreed that I should email him, but this time I brought out the big guns. My response is below – oh, and I responded to the LARP and RPG part of his message as if I did not know what they were because, well, I didn’t know what they were and didn’t want to admit to him that I had taken the time to Google them – I’m sure you can all appreciate.
In any case, since sending this message I have not heard hide nor magical hare from him. Let’s hope it’s permanent!

To: FrankHi Frank. I am back in town, but only for a few days. As to your note, couple of things: I have absolutely no idea what LARP or RPG is. Going forward, it might behoov you to only use acronyms with people who you’re sure will understand them. Secondly, I thought I was pretty clear in my previous message, but I am not interested in dating you or feeling led to develop a friendship. I know you seem to think we have a lot in common, but I would disagree. For example, I’m not into most of the activities you mentioned above, at least the ones I understood. I also didn’t feel that we have that much we could discuss during, say, a walk in a park. Incidentally, I also disagree with your position on creation/evolution and young earth.
I wish you the best in all your endeavors and hope the Lord gives you someone that you can share your interests with.

I certainly hope he gets it after that blatantly obvious statement that you are not interested.. otherwise, we’d have to wonder about his otherworldly optimism that seems to transcend the subtle and obvious rejection that you have given him over the past month. I think you did all you could and sometimes being a little more forthright is all you can do to actually get your point across. It’s either that or fend him off for the rest of your life!
