foiled attempt

Maybe I'm being naive, but I called him (his name is David) yesterday to try and smooth things out. He wouldn't take my call. His wife (yes he's married, and early 40's if I hadn't mentioned it before) said that they had talked and both decided it would "be a good idea to limit contact." In other words, 'You're not welcome over here anymore you crazy freak.'

Lovely. Now instead of him just thinking I'm a little odd around the edges, he's afraid of me. I doubt he would ever admit that (he would most likely use the word concerned) but that's what it is, plain and simple. After almost a year and a half of observing him and interacting with him, I thought he was ready. He himself told me he was 'safe' to talk to, meaning that he wouldn't be quick to judge. I guess he just didn't know what he was getting himself into.
