Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/05/2016 (3475 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I met a very silly man when I was camping who made me laugh all weekend. We had too much to drink, threw caution to the wind, stayed drunk and had sex for the two days. At the end, I sobered up for the drive home end realized he just wasn’t my type, although he really liked me a lot. I said half-jokingly when we parted, “As doctors waiting for your results might say, ‘Don’t call me, I’ll call you.'” We both laughed.
He has called me every single day since, wanting more of the horizontal mambo. What am I supposed to say? “I had sex with you all weekend and I don’t want to see you anymore?” We don’t have a budding relationship, though he seems to think so. I thought we were just having recreational sex and being silly.
— Up Against the Wall, Winnipeg
Dear Up Against the Wall: He called all week and you didn’t say yes, so you’ll have to spell it out for him clearly: “It was just fun, and I don’t want to start dating you.” Ouch! That’s going to sting. Men have the same feelings as women do, once they get engaged emotionally. Be sure to say you’re sorry if you misrepresented things and he thought it was more. Don’t try to make it like it’s his fault for having feelings.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My neighbour just came over and said told me she would like to plant a garden in my unlandscaped yard and she would give me all the produce I want. I don’t want her in my darn yard. I don’t want her weeding and yapping away at me. What do I say? I told her I would think about it. I don’t want an enemy next door, either.

Dear Feeling Pressured: This person does not recognize unwritten boundaries, so help her. Say pleasantly or write a note to put in her mailbox, “I need total privacy in my backyard, so I’ll have to say no regarding the garden.”
