And I remind BF of it all the time.

I love the Onion. Here is my favorite part:

My last relationship ended with a broken engagement and bitter tears. I wasted three weeks of my life, largely because of my own selfish behavior.

Woa. I liked the "wasting 3 weeks of my life" line too. I would so be running the other way.

I LOVE The Onion!

This is funny on one hand, but on the other hand, not so much....if you''ve been there. I once dated a guy who came on waywayway too strong. One one hand, initially, the attention was nice. He sent flowers to my office twice in one week, which no one had ever done for me before. But then it got scary. He would send me 10-20 e-mails (not joke forwards - actual e-mails) per day. Then he would call me at work several times a day....to the point where I had to tell him to stop because my boss was getting annoyed. Then, I would be having dinner or drinks with the girls or with co-workers after work....and he would just show up there. Finally, I told him that I couldn''t see him anymore because he was coming on too strong and is was frankly stalkerish and creepy. I had told him this at a restaurant --- and I had a friend of mine that he''d never met go there with her BF and sit a couple tables from us, because I was afraid he was going to flip out on me in public. He was calm...but over the next few days, I came home from work to find messages on my machine about how much I "crushed" him and how I was being a "self-centered b*tch with no regard for his feelings" and how I was a sick person who obviously didn''t appreciate "true love" being shown to me. And when I opened my e-mail, he''d sent me a picture of himself sitting on his apartment floor crying and a subject line of "You Did This." It only stopped when I blocked his numbers from my phone and blacklisted his e-mail address. I suppose I could have filed a police report....and I would have, had it continued.

RED FLAGS - RED FLAGS - RED FLAGS - RED FLAGS

I shudder now when I think about what might have happened had I continued dating him more than the 3 or 4 months that I did. That kind of sudden, ardent behavior is the sign of someone potentially mentally unbalanced and very dangerous.
