Moving along&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Remember the guy who asked Funmi out and said his name was Wes and then asked me out and said his name was Lee???  I told you that technically he did not lie anyway because Wes &amp; Lee are both forms of Wesley, but it was just weird the way it happened.  Anyway&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I ran into him again.  Let me explain something very well.  The boy first asked Funmi out some years ago.  Funmi does not remember what name he gave her then.  Then he asked me out in April of 2008 and told me his name was Lee.  About two months ago, he asked Funmi out again and reintroduced himself as Wes.  Recently (as in December of 2008), he asked me out &#8211; again.  But this time, his name was not Wes.  Or Lee.  It wasn&#8217;t even Weslee sef.  LOL.  It was Gbenga.  Imagine my amusement.  When he told me his name, I had to ask him again because I thought I had heard wrong, but lo and behold, I did not hear wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I think this guy is suffering from a few diseases: <strong>Multiple Personality Disorder<\/strong> (Dissociative Identity Disorder), early stages of <strong>Alzheimers<\/strong>, and maybe even some <strong>Developmental Challenge.<\/strong>  I&#8217;ll explain.  He has Multiple Personality Disorder because I do not understand how and\/or why one person alone will go by three different names.  And these are the names that I know of oo!  For all we know, he might have some more out there.    He has Alzheimers because he did not even remember that he had asked me out in April (I&#8217;ll explain in my next parapgraph).  He also has some developmental challenge because that is the only plausible reason why a grown man like him will come and ask me out after literally gawking at me and Funmi hugging each other and talking.  He just asked Funmi out two months ago.  What nonsense!  He evidently knew we were friends.  People do not randomly hug each other.<\/p>\n<p>So how do I know he did not remember me??  Well, let&#8217;s see.  He asked my name again.  He introduced himself again (albeit as a different person).  He asked me out the same away.  Honestly, he said the exact same things he said to me in April.  I could not erase the smile that was plastered on my face as he spoke; the whole thing was just too funny.  It was deja vu.  I know that guys sometimes recycle lines, but please do not recycle to the same person.  The only thing that is worse that recyling a line is recycling it to the same person&#8230;&#8230;.and not knowing it.  <strong><em>Ouch.<\/em><\/strong>  Poor Funmi.  She&#8217;s the one who thought he was cute.  lol.<\/p>\n<p>All I could think about while he spoke was, <strong><em>&#8220;This is good blog material!!  I am sooo blogging about this&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/strong>  I&#8217;m very sure I will run into Mr. Multiple Personality again, but I cannot tell you which one of him I will run into.  Wes?  Lee?
