I'm going to end up alone and miserable. Huh.

So, this particular post is a long time coming. I started talking to Steve almost a year ago, and we've talked on and off since then. I typically tried to avoid lengthy conversations with him since he pretty much only seemed to be interested in what I was wearing or what my nipples look like. I'm a really open person, and I'll answer just about any question, but when it becomes obvious that the person asking is more than likely masturbating on the other end, it's kind of a turn-off.

For one reason or another, lately he's been talking to me more often. He asked for a picture of me naked almost every day, and I always tell him the same thing: that he'd have to actually get to know me better if he ever wanted to see anything. Given the fact that we'd been talking for a year and still know basically nothing about each other, I wasn't too worried about ever having to make good on this deal. A couple of times he told me that he'd been just trying sooooooo hard to get to know me, but I keep putting my defenses up. I should probably clarify that the defenses he's referring to are the fact that I have a boyfriend who I don't want to cheat on. Darn me for playing hard to get!

So, like most guys, he tried to send me a picture of his junk in an effort to get me to show him mine, and of course, claimed I "owed him". Come on guys, seriously? If I had to reciprocate every nude I received, half the state would have seen me naked. :P A girl does not OWE you. Ever. Not to mention I didn't ask for the picture, and if I had, I certainly wouldn't have asked for this one. I must've stared at that thing for five minutes just wondering what the hell I was looking at. I even had to consult with like, five other people. I think the only thing we can all agree on is that it looks hella weird, and this guy has no clue how to take an attractive picture. And wtf is that in the background?? Anybody?

So anyhow, after a few more days of pestering, I finally offered him a challenge: If he could name one of my short term goals and one of my long term goals, I'd send him a picture of me in a bra. I figured this shouldn't be too difficult if he actually gave a crap about any of the conversations we'd had in the past year, since I have several goals that I talk about frequently. All he could come up with is that I want to get my degree and that I want a job. Ohh, nice, Sherlock. Me and 800,000 other college students. But, I was feeling nice, so I told him if he could name the field I wanted to go into, since it applies to both my degree and the job I want to get, I'd give it to him. He couldn't do it. That's pretty sad, considering he could've just checked my CK profile for the answer. :P



But, he's not really the brightest.

Steve: Are you with your bf right now?
Me: Yea
Steve: Ohh then I'll talk to you later then.
Me: We can talk now
Steve: No we can't ur with ur bf
Me: So how does that mean we can't talk?
Steve: Cuz ur with him
Me: Circular logic aside, I don't see your point.
Steve: What's circular logic?

And even better:

Me: I'm super nerdy!
Steve: But you're sexy
Me: Nerdy and sexy aren't mutually exclusive. :P
Steve: In ur case they are lol
Me: ....do you know what mutually exclusive means, cuz you just technically insulted me :P

Anyhow, he'd also been asking me to meet up for a while, and since I'm nice, I was okay with it. As we all know, it's standard procedure for me that any guy who wants to meet up with me has to do it around my friends the first time. He had SUCH a huge problem with this, even after I explained that it's just for my safety and comfort. He'd make plans to meet up with me and then mysteriously have some old friend visit from out of town that night. Then of course, when I'd try to make new plans with him, he'd keep trying to convince me to meet him alone. And I'm sorry guys, but the harder you try and convince a girl you're not a rapist, the more like a rapist you're going to sound. :P I even told him flat out that there was no reason he needed to be alone with me, since nothing was going to happen between us. This of course lead to conversations about how I have my defenses up, and him explaining that I should just cheat on my boyfriend because he obviously doesn't want me, and he's probably cheating on me anyway. Maybe it's just because I'm a criminology major, but that raises some serious red flags for me. 1.) Why would I want a relationship with a guy who would encourage cheating? Kinda makes me think he wouldn't be all that faithful. 2.) Does that make anyone else think he might be playing mind games? That's pretty much a step away from psychological abuse. Also not something that makes me wanna date this guy.

However, he happens to think that I'm unhappy in my relationship and that I want to leave my boyfriend for him. I literally laughed out loud when I got THAT text. I have literally never even flirted with this guy, not even out of boredom. So I asked him what his reasons for that line of thinking were. Apparently when you text a guy randomly, and often in the middle of the night, he thinks you're in love with him. I explained that I text a LOT of people randomly in the middle of the night, since that's typically when I'm awake and bored, but he wasn't having it. He kept saying that I'll understand when I'm 30 (he's 33) because people at his age don't do that when they're in relationships. I told him I'd keep that in mind for when I'm 30, but for now, I'm 20 and it doesn't apply to me. So then he told me I was going to end up alone and miserable. This was met with much more laughter. He said I'm a game player and I'll see someday. So, I pretty much told him that since I was such a terrible person, I wouldn't waste anymore of his time and to have a nice life. Then he texts back, "look lets just hook up and fuck". Omfg, really? So I told him that even if I were single and interested, I'd never sleep with someone who insulted my character like that. When he texted back "I think u would", I had to call the TOD on our relationship at 5:57 PM. I wasn't going to dignify that with a response.

Then of course, at almost midnight that night he texts me, "Im horny r u", and four nights later, again at almost midnight, "what's good". WTF is wrong with this guy?
