Delusions...

So, I'm in this show. And in this show, I play a wife. A wife to a man. This man is played by a friend of a friend. I've really only known the guy since we started rehearsals...maybe three weeks ago. My friend "S" is the stage manager of this show. Here's how today's conversation with "S" went:

M: So, "J" called me the other night after rehearsal. He's wanting to work on the script. I don't feel comfortable with that.
S: Uh huh...He told me he was going to call you. I've gotta tell you something.
M: Okay, you first.
S: "J" was asking me what you've been saying about him while you were singing your songs. He was saying that he thinks you're really into him, but scared to make a move. He kept trying to get me to tell him what you've said about him.
M: WHAT?!?!?! What did you say to him in response?
S: Well, nothing really. I said you didn't say anything about him.
M: WHAT?!?!?!
S: Oh, and he wanted you to give him a ride home but you weren't listening to him because you put your iPod on at full blast. He told me he thought you were mad because you saw him "flirting" with me.
M: WWWWHHHHAAAAATTTTT?!?!?!?!?!?!?! How delusional can someone be?! WHAT?!
S: What did he say when he called?
M: I had just gotten home from rehearsal, and he called. And I answered, "Yeah?" because I didn't want to talk. He asked if we were going to rehearse lines and I said sure. Then, he said "ok, come on over." I said, "No!" and said I was going to bed. Then, he wanted to know when. I said during the day, because it was safer, and said maybe Saturday around 12p-3p. Then, he says, "I'll bring a bottle of wine." I then say "NO!!" He said why, and I said because wine had too many calories right now and I don't want to drink when I work. He left it with me to call him.
S: Well, he said he's going to make his move in the next 5 days.
M: But, I'm not interested in him! EVER! NOT EVER! You know this! This pisses me off! I told him I'm not dating, and I focused on other things right now.
S: Yeah, he said that. He said he thinks your just saying that because you're scared.
M: WHAT?!?!

So, the conversation went on from there, but it was mainly me cursing and screeching about this crazy scenario. Let me set the record straight: I'm single. I'm staying that way. I'm moving in less than a year, and I don't want complications. I want freedom. My work, and everything that revolves around my work, is my one and only focus. I'm not dating anyone, no matter how utterly sexy they are because there are more important things right now...SERIOUSLY.

So, this "J"...let me tell you. He is not in my category. He will never be in my dating category. Last week, he proceeded to slap me on the ass when I walked by him. I told him not to do that, and he said he would again. I went on to threaten his balls and other vital organs if he touched me again, and he thought I was joking. Then he says, "I thought you were into that sort of thing."

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MEN?!?!?!?!?! This is the second guy in the last couple of weeks, and they just don't seem to get the signs that I lay out for them so clearly. Other people get them, but not these guys. Also, I have an ex whose continually trying to get a hold of me (even a text tonight), even though I continue to ignore him. I have said I don't want anything, and they keep bugging me. I don't want to be mean...I don't know how to say you are not physically attractive to me. Or, you make no money and are not responsible so why would I want you. Or, you have no drive and your stuck and it doesn't appeal to me at all.

I'm so pissed, because I can't get away from this guy and he's going to try something in the next couple of days. UGH! I have to work with him for the next three weeks, and it's killing me that he thinks I want him! I don't want anything other than a good professional acting relationship...period.

I hope I've made my point clear...I know I've been rambling and I'm sure there are tons of typos.
