Mother always told me there were lots of crazy people out there. Most of the books I've read told me there are lots of crazy people out there. But, as I tend to have a rather enduring 'lucky streak', I had never come into contact with these said crazy people... until recently.
The person in question is called Ali. He is 27 [way too old for me], lives in India, and is convinced that I am his ideal woman and that we should be married. He doesn't seem to understand when I say "I don't want to get married." I was fairly certain that this was as clear as I could make it, but apparently not. He continues to persue the issue -- flogging a dead horse, you might say. Not only do I have no interest in marrying him, I have no current interest in marrying anyone. I'm soon to be eighteen. I have things I want to do with my life [although he swears he will let me do whatever I want, even after we are married. He does, however, expect children].
What has happened to the days where, if a man proposed to a woman and she said no, he sulked for a while, then gave up? Personally, I think there are four letters governing his ruthless persual of me:
V-I-S-A
Why else would he want to marry someone he's never met, who is almost ten years younger than him, and quite blatantly admits to not wanting to get married? Besides the complete and utter nuttiness that obviously governs his decision making.
Here is the picture he sent me of himself. Looks like someone stuck a cork up his butt.
I don't know how to get him to take the hint... Suggestions?
