It's not always good to interpit the actions of others as being 'creepy'...when all their trying to do is reach out...give the guy a break already...
I've left a note on someone's car before. It wasn't the note.

First, I didn't know him. He mentioned the house number, but couldn't picture him.

Second, he left the note one night, then waited for me the next morning at 630a. Jumped out of nowhere and asked, "did you get my message". His porch has a screen around it. It was morning, but dark. He scared the hell out of me.

he may have startled you, but I doubt that was his intentions...far from it...

You gotta realize...not all guys are as smooth as Denziel Washington or Richard Gere...

Many guys lack experience with women, or the approach...ye sure their clumsy and awkward...but I don't think it's their intention to creep anyone out....

I'm not saying you shouldn't be 'cautious'...always be cautious...but just realize some guys are 'clumsy' when it comes to love...

Women seem to understand this when portrayed that way in a romantic comedy on film...but in real life, doesn't seem to translate well...

The guy is lonely, and probablly just looking for a mate...something that's been going on for thousands of years...

He knows you know where he lives...so I doubt he'd try anything 'creepy'...cause all you'd have to do is call the cops, since he lives next door...relax...

its that American mentality thing again, kinda like a man can't have a "bag" to carry, or "wear" a certain something "speedo" or they are labeled....it is so sickening already.

ugh, so 2 men live together...........................

It's funny how money changes everything in the eyes of women...and or men...

to me he's not a 'loser', just a guy down on his luck trying to get buy...
A persons not a looser, just cause they can't serve my needs...
The guy I spoke of gambled away half his paycheck every week . If he won the lottery, he would give the money away to his bookie. Gambling addicts don't improve themselves upon winning money.

Gambling addict = loser.

Down on his luck? HA!

Gambling addict = someone struggling with issues who needs help...

He's not a looser...he's someone in need of help...

Well let him go get the help he needs. I'm not playing Mommy Enabler to some guy I've dated for two months, his gambling is not my problem. I folded a losing hand, he of all people should appreciate that.

They seem to be employed and it's not NYC or anything where the rent's really high. I know my brother moved out to finally be away from roommates. In my neighborhood there are women who've lived in a house together for more than 20 years but as far as I know they're good friends. It just seems more acceptable for women than for men.
I don't get it? What's the issue? Why are you so concerned how people put a roof over their head?

It was just a question. My parents, especially my father, have these antiquated notions about these things.
When my dad was helping my brother move in and he noticed the two guys he was debating with me whether these guys were possibly gay. Any of the people I know, men or women, did have roommates, a couple of them uninto their early 30s but I personally, have never seen guys that old living together. Like I said, I don't know and if they are, so what? It's just because I've never seen straight guys this age living together that I was wondering if it was, in fact, common.

I'm not saying people can't be clumsy. Clumsy can be attractive.

Your last statement. I'm sure that's what all the "date rape" victims thought. I've seen him notice me, before he said anything. When he started his conversation he came across as quiet and creepy. My option was to say no. I don't want date anyone in my neighborhood. Maybe turn him into a jumpoff, so he can perch on my door step, whenever I have company. No thanks.

PS: hey nerd with your DM message. If you had any ballz, then sign it. You said, you wouldn't waste your time talking to me. Good buddy. I'm not desperate for a date. How about you continue to watch porn and jack off. Lonely little man. How about that.
