Stranger texts

I recently had a disturbing conversation with a guy via text.  I met the guy some time ago and he rubbed me the wrong way then and got pissy then when I didn't pursue him...as if that was what he expected.  To be pursued. He was probably really mad when I excused him from my life entirely.

I was more than a little surprised by the fact that he texted after so much time. I'm not sure why I responded except that my curiosity level is just a little too high for my own good.

I was more than a little put off by the fact that he thought “sweetie” was an appropriate greeting but I have issues with baby, babe, sweetie, and other generic familiarities that most people don't so I second guess my loathing reactions to those words. I have to stop doing that. Second guessing myself. I've yet to recoil in horror in the first moments of meeting someone and later be proven wrong.  I've had lesser bad reactions and been proven wrong, but I've not ever had all of my alarm bells go off and not eventually discovered the reason.

Guys, if you get a woman to sleep with you using the following conversation, I would recommend using a full body condom and getting outta dodge fast. She's either planning her own death or forcibly detaining you to fill the lonely, desperate hole in her stomach.

Girls, please respect yourselves enough to not screw a guy who would feel it is okay to have this kind of conversation with you.


Day One:

Him: hey sweetie
Me: ok. Hi, how are you?
Him:good and you?
Me: I'm ok
him: No guy yet?
Me: Odd. No. Not really.
Him: been dating?
Me: now and then. Sometimes. Not really. Now and then.
Him: awww. Nything sexual.
Me: Ha. I don't do sex with near strangers.
Him: Oh. I thought maybe sometimes u needed to get some.
Me: Anyway. “do” includes discuss.
Him: U up late?
Me: sometimes
him: ya im just horny. Ill be honest.
Me: Looks like I'm not offering what you're seeking.
Him: Depends. Ur not gonna have sex with me unless we go out a few times right?
Me: and there it is. Good luck to you.

End conversation.

Day two:

Him: I guess your right. Sorry I feel asleep.
Me: If falling asleep is the part you think you should apologize for,  I'm suddenly relieved I didn't waste much time knowing you.
Him: I don't know why u have such hostility towards me...
Me: Not hostile. Offended. Your behavior was very offensive last night.
Him: I didnt think I was. I wasn't looking for us to have sex. Im not a man whore.

Me: you thought wrong. Show those messages to your mama and watch her reaction. Keep trying...someone will fall for it someday I'm sure.
Him: U dont have to be nasty.

I no longer felt the need to respond.

FIVE DAYS LATER:

Him: So do u think we have a restart?

I still no longer felt the need to respond. And never did.


I do wonder however what it is about me that draws idiots like this to me. They just keep coming. Even when I'm not actively looking.
