Hi.
I spent the weekend in West Hollywood. I saw OMD perform on Friday night. They were great. I had a blast. Plus the change of scenery is nice. It’s good to get away from time to time.
In my last update I talked about Rick. He was a guy that I hooked up with once. We got to talking and it seemed like he was a decent guy. He asked me if I’d like to go out sometime – and I was open to that. But then we were never able to make our schedules sync. Or rather he was never free. I took that as a sign that he wasn’t really interested and pretty much wrote him off.
Fast forward four months later. Rick messages me and says “you should give me one more chance.” So I did. And I’m glad I did. We met up and had dinner a few nights back. I had a great time – I think he did too. The conversations flowed well, and we both were very comfortable with each other. We’re pretty much on the same page as far as wants and expectations in a relationship. He wants to meet up again soon – so we tentatively set something up for next week. I have a good feeling about this – I’ve been on a lot of dates recently, and often times there’s nothing there. Or worse…
I recently went out with someone I met online. The date itself wasn’t horrible – it went okay. But the next day he started texting me nonstop. At first I was polite and responded. But after a bit I slowed my responses. Then he asked if I’d like to come by and join him at his coaching job. I declined politely. That’s when he got nasty. He started texting insults to me. He still is several days later – so I’m going to have to block his phone number. And I haven’t responded to one of his texts since he got nasty. The scary thing? He’s an elementary school teacher. Maybe he shouldn’t be trusted with the hearts and minds of children.
I just hope I don’t come home one day to find a rabbit cooking on the stove.
Whoa! That's very very scary! I sure hope he doesn't know where you live, who knows what he might do with that info. What startled me was the fact he's a teacher. If this continues, or if his threats go from nasty to threatening you might consider a restraining order. Don't blow off the seriousness of his texts, keep them, you might have use of them later.
ReplyDeleteSounds like WEHO was fun and glad to hear most of the dates are going well. I think everyone has their share of crazy/bad/scary dates...
ReplyDeleteHi there, NewLeaf
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update - it's good to hear from you.
OMD bring back a few memories: they were part of the sound track of my teenage years. I hadn't realised they were still around...
Best of luck with Rick: the "good vibes" sound promising.
As for the other guy, he sounds rather like the stereotypical domineering school coach. If he's like this with you, I hate to think how he treats the children he teaches. I agree with Biki: hang on to those texts, you may need them.
Take care
Mark
At least you can recognize that as a warning sign. I have friends that convince themselves that sort of behavior is acceptable. Stick with your gut instincts and you should be okay.
ReplyDeleteBy okay I mean you won't have to worry about serving rabbit stew.

Wow, that is a bit psycho that he got nasty. And all because you declined a date...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments everyone!
ReplyDeleteGood news... it's been a week since the crazy guy texted me, so I think that's over.
@Mark: OMD were part of the soundtrack of my teenage years too. Yes - they're still around. I think they're doing a European tour soon.
