So I go on two dates with this Mr. O'Bryan, 37 year old, white American male, medical supplies salesman. He dives right in and makes out with me in the middle of Mass Ave after our first date and then after our second date as well. These dates only involving some drinks at an establishment. I mean I understand a kiss, but full on making-out? So I actually think at the time, circa one month ago that I dig this dude. Then he starts playing the game were he skips a couple days before contacting me again. 37 and still playing games. Spare me. Then he seems to have fallen off the radar for good. This past Friday (2-3 weeks after last contact), I am having a beer at the Rathskellar with a friend and who strolls into the Beer Garden but Mr. O'Bryan. I have no shame so I start staring at him with a smirk as he walks by. He just looks at me strangely when I do catch his eye. Ok. Continue being a tool, Mr. O'Bryan. Then he texts me to say he's sorry he didn't say hello, he didn't recognize me at first. I continue to text him because I think he is just with a group of friends. He refuses to come say hello and then texts, "this is weird." I then get the hint that he is on a date with one of the girls. Honestly, one had a puffy face and the other had bad curly blonde hair. I probably should have gone over and saved him. I then proceed to let him know that I will stop bothering him and I go about my business. This was last Friday.
On Tuesday, I get a text from his number, which I have once again deleted from my phone. If I want to inhibit myself from texting someone I delete their number. But I know it's him because I remembered that his number started with a 3 post area code. He texts, "you weren't." This I guess being in response to my text from Friday notifying him that I will stop bothering him. Why did you need to send me that text? Especially four days later. Fishy.
I then get a text from him this morning asking, "How are the animals at work?" Now you want to continue our conversation? I'm so confused. So after some small banter, I ask him why he decided to start contacting me again? He somehow dodges the question twice. After several hours of banter, I do what I like to call lay down the law. I was like, "Listen: You still haven't answered my question. Rude. Are you just texting me now because you are bored or because there is something still sparking your interest?"
He basically attempts to compliment me by saying, "You've got a legitimate question there. Oh really, because I usually like to ask pointless questions!!! Dumby. Basically he replies saying that he doesn't know why he's continued to text me after seeing me at Rathskellar, but could we just be friends? Still Fishy.
This seems to be a reoccurring situation in the dating world for me. Guys fall off the face of the earth and then they reappear but with no complete closure. Where can I find one that doesn't play this game of hide and seek?
