Hello all. I have gotten myself into a fine mess these days. I've writen before about all of this and it escalated into a real mess.

 

A few months ago I met "Jake" on line. Musician, an ok guy I guess. Turns out he's a bit of a loser. No, he's a lot of a loser, and I felt like I was being kind of a mother figure to him. Then, I met this "nice guy" named "Jack" at Christmas. We went out a few times. He seemed ok, a little needy but alright. Then I met another, "Fred" on line. The one time I came to Jack's house to pick him up, he didn't invite me in. He later explained that he didn't invite me in because he lived with his parents. He's 32. I was ok with that, people get themselves into financial binds and he got himself into one. Then he said he also lives with his sister, who has a 12 year old son. Years ago when she got divorced, she looked up some guy she went to high school with, produced the child, and is now blackmailing the guy into supporting her as he was/is married and has other children. This didn't sit well with me, aside from the fact that this is a bad situation. I decided that his family was a bit trashy, and apples don't fall far from the tree. Combine that with the fact that he was needy, and that I started a new job, I decided not to pursue things any further.

 

So I broke it off with Jake because it wasn't going to go any further and it was time to move on. Jack had called me a few weeks before and I didn't return the call. Fred, while on one hand seemed like a good guy, is very analytical and likes to show others how smart and artistic he is. I was a little put off by his constant analysis. Then, one night, Jack showed up at the doorway to my apartment building, wild eyed and crazy that he hadn't seen or heard from me in weeks. I said this wasn't a good time and he begged for a few minutes to see me, I said no. Figuring someone could just let him in, I opted to run and hide at a neighbor's apartment. I said I would give him five minutes then I would call the police, and sure enough he left without my having to call them. I told Fred about this, not because I wanted to rub his nose in it, but because it was very scary. He said he thought I didn't handle it right because someone with my training (in self defense) should have gone downstairs and beat him up. I told him I already have a father and a shrink and I didn't like his attitude. End of story.

 

Alone again, naturally ...

Whoa.... :eek:

 

Have you bothered meeting men in real life besides online? No wonder they're needy and psychopathic....

They're a pair alright. Steer clear of em both I'd say.

 

LOL ... I liked the way you said that: "produced the child"

The nutcase actually I met in real life. We met carolling with a group of friends on Christmas Eve. I was thinking since I met him in "real life" maybe it would be better than attempting to meet on line. Was I wrong or what?

Not all men online (just as not all women online) are emotionally needy or psychopathic. More often women and men who continually meet these types of people because that's who they're attracted to.

mortensorchid,

 

I love the way you write! Haha, you sound like a blast and as if you'd be very entertaining to meet. I would say forget about these losers. They all sound a bit out there, to be honest. I would say maybe you outta' meet guys through some medium other than the internet, but I met my BF on-line so I feel as if I can't say that. There are sane ones out there, I promise. My BF and I are having problems, so perhaps I shouldn't be giving you advice...I just know that not all people on-line are psychos. You've managed to run into what would seem like quite a few.

 

By the way, I loooovvee your icon. I'm a huge Amy Winehouse fan as you can tell by my icon!
