mortensorchid Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I was just confronted with an odd situation not too long ago. Let me explain ... About a year or so ago, I had added a friend on Facebook. He was an actual friend of a friend, not just someone on Facebook. Our mutual friend said that she had known him for a bit. At some point we start chatting here and there, he said he wanted to meet me. About 9 months ago, I met up with him and some of his friends at a local bar where they meet to play pool every few weeks. We chatted for a while and then I left. I didn't hear from him for many months after that. Another time, months later, he asked to see me again at the same place. I said ok as I wasn't doing anything that night. He then told me some more about himself - he's divorced and has 2 little kids (one by his ex wife and one by an ex girlfriend). His life sounded, well, rather screwy. He said he was looking to make new friends, and he thought I sounded "rather interesting" by the looks of my Facebook page. I said "Thank you" even though that statement was/is a little generic to say the least. After that, nothing else for many weeks/months. Then just recently he started sending me IMs through Facebook. He said he was hoping that we were going to be boyfriend/girlfriend. Call me a little clueless, but I was shocked to hear this. He had not done or said anything to indicate that he was interested in me in that way. Plus, as he was not making any efforts to contact me for many weeks/months at a time, I had no idea that he was thinking in this way. Another time he had said that he was going to go back to his ex girlfriend (mother of his second child). I just assumed that he did, but by these actions he's saying it didn't work out that way. What is going on? I think he's trying to keep me on the back burner in case something doesn't work out. Also, he told me he didn't understand me much, because I seem to mysterious, I never say what I mean. But, I think that's a line myself. What do others think?
Insanitylater Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I think you are in for a lot of trouble if you are seriously considering a nut job like him.
sica Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I think you are in for a lot of trouble if you are seriously considering a nut job like him. I second that
CrestfallenNoMore Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Yeah, I'd say during those gaps he's trying with someone else. When it ends, he goes back to you because he's one of those people who can't be alone. Any bf/gf talk is ridiculous. I'd remove him or, at the very least, ignore him.
ConflictedGuy27 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I think you are in for a lot of trouble if you are seriously considering a nut job like him. I'll third that.
Author mortensorchid Posted October 8, 2010 Author Posted October 8, 2010 He's maybe 4 or 5 years younger than me, to answer the last question. And yes, it is weird. If he was interested he would simply say to me that he was interested long before drawing it out for all these months like he has. I have decided to remove him as a Facebook friend. There seems to be a lot of nonsense on his part.
