Ok in all seriousness if someone said omg keeper I haven't seen you in ages and we both knew it was only 4 or 5 days I would take that as they missed me and we're happy to see me so soon.

But being me I would have replied" fuck off that's creepy"

I would take that as you mean so little to me that I cannot even remember meeting less than a week ago.

I have a follow up question for y'all....



If someone said to you "I haven't seen her in ages!" and it had been 4 days, would you think you'd been lied to or deceived?

Yes, you've been lied to. We've already established that 4 days is not ages.

I think it depends on how old you are. It's relative, "ages" for a 70 year old can mean something very different from that of say, a 20 year old.

Old people I know don't really use it differently than they did decades ago.  



To me it's a figure of speech that translates to "haven't seen you as recently as I wish I had" ...especially if it's used to denote 4 days.  That there is some hype, if taken literally, so I would just smile and raise my eyebrows as in "oh, really?" ...and not take offense.

My friends use to be sarcastic, I would never think that.



People who know me know I joke around a lot.

Close friends is one thing, but someone you ran into just a few days ago? That is like not you again. I just said hello to you five days ago for fuck sakes.

Ok I get ya...

Yes, someone I was talking to tried to justify 4 days as "in ages".  When I said it wasn't even close, he said that it was a mere difference in opinion.



Ridiculous, eh?

Uh oh. In that case it could be code for I want to krazy glue myself to you.  ac_unsure

Funny I made a glue reference after reading that as well.  It went:



"Glue.  It's not just for arts and crafts."

 



Seriously though, I think this person might have an affinity for you. Best to let him down gently.  ac_unsure

Different context but maybe you're on to something....

[easter bunny]

It's just a guess but it seems like he has a desire to see you more often. Freudian slip maybe?

[RW]

Or never as it were.

It's obvious he wants more contact with RW.

I can understand your feelings RW.

Aha! Perhaps it was ages for him.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be for anyone else and there in lies the problem.
