Get Off My BackWritten by Jennifer Lester
Dear Jen,There is a person that keeps writing to me who read my personal ad. When I looked back at theirs, I didn’t really like what I saw and don’t think there is any chance that we would be a good match. How can I get them to leave me alone without being a total jerk.

Dear Jen,I went on my first date with Sean* whom I met online. I thought we both had a great time on our date. At end of night, he kissed my cheek and said he would call. Now it has been a week and I have not heard a word from him. (I even considered checking with my phone company to see if there had been a problem on my line.) I thought about calling him, but was worried that it would seem too pushy or eager. What are your thoughts on sending a friendly little email? Should I try it, or should I just sit tight and keep waiting for him to call me? Your Friend, Julie Dear Julie*, There are two reasons he may not have called. He may be busy, or he may not be interested. If he has been busy, but thought to call later in week, he might be a little afraid to since he may be worried that he has hurt you by not calling sooner. This can keep him from calling you at all. A quick contact from you can let him know door is still open for him if he wants to walk through. On other hand, if he is not interested, at least with an email he can just delete it without a lot of guilt and you will be saved from hearing that tone of annoyance in his voice.
