Not sure what's going on. This is really just an acquaintance - who invites me from time to time. So I go along - and usually end up realizing that I am not having a very good time. Thinking afterwards of ways to make excuses (to not go along next time). But then there's another invitation, so I go along. Same thing. Part of the problem is that when I am there, the acquaintance wants to book my time, like for tomorrow, and the next day too. So I end up - saying that I am not making any promises. And then I do go - and during this get together the acquaintance wants to know what I do during the week too. And several other questions about activities. I can understand that this acquaintance wants someone to do things with, but - these are just not in my current interest range. And I find that even once a week is more than enough of seeing any person, so I do not want to get together more often, including not every day of the weekend, and not on weekdays too. So we go out for a brief lunch, and I am left to pay (at a spot that I don't like, in an atmosphere that I don't like, and I feel like I was not part of this choice at all - in terms of where, and when). And I once again tell myself - don't agree to go anymore. Can someone help me with this? It results in me feeling like I am once again becoming the paying companion (and I do not want this - because it's too much like the babysitter role). How do I stop this?
