Don't Call Me, I'll Call You!

When I was in NY last week, I received an e-mail from an unknown Match.com male person.  He looked nice enough, so I responded saying I'd be back in SoCal on 4/10.  Of course, he e-mailed (right on schedule) and also included his phone number.  Being the nice person that I am, I called him.  STUPID!  I can hereby say that I'd rather watch paint dry then talk with this guy.  He sounded soooo boring!  Now he wants to meet for coffee!!

I told him to call me tonight to discuss our coffee meeting for Thursday morning.  I REALLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE COFFEE WITH THIS GUY!!!!!!!  What to do, what to do, what to do?????

Here are some scenarios that I've been playing with to say NO:

• I can let the phone ring and ring and ring and ring;
• I can disguise my voice and say "Marianne doesn't live here anymore"!;
• I can answer it and say "No, no, no.......never, never, never;
• I can lie and say I have to babysit ALL day on Thursday;
• I can say, "I'll call you soon."

Okay, I like the last two options.  Any suggestions from my buddies out there?

Why do I get myself into these things?  I swear....I think I'm going on strike from ALL the dating websites!
