He Couldn’t Accept The Friend Zone

“Freshman year of college. I was (still am) in a long-term relationship that was long-distance at the time.”

“This guy who I met at the library while studying for a similar midterm started texting me. He first asked me out and then asked to stay friends when I let him know I was already in a relationship.”

“Then he started trying to take me out on “friend dates.” Then he started asking me when and where I had my classes, which I dodged answering.”

“When he told me he was worried about how stressed I was and had bought candles and massage oil to give me a massage at his apartment and gave me his address, I never replied and blocked his number.”

“He texted me from another number a few months later berating me for ghosting him, and I blocked that number too. Haven’t heard from him since. Thank god.”

She Took Advantage Of Her Grandpa

“I did. I went on a Tinder date with a woman who seemed nice when we chatted…but later felt the need to tell me about how she uses her grandfather’s Alzheimer’s to take advantage of him financially and mess with him for her own entertainment.”

“She said all of that as if it was both completely relatable and funny.”

He Wouldn’t Take No For An Answer

“A year ago I had a male classmate from high school reach out to me to reconnect. I didn’t think much of it as it was common to do so at the time.”

“The issue was that he wouldn’t take no for an answer. He would text me all hours of the day wondering how I was and at times berate me for not answering immediately regardless if it was 3 am.”

“I shut him down immediately and told him to stop only for him to repetitively start asking me out. I kept telling him no that I wasn’t interested in a relationship and warned him to stop asking again.”

“He kept asking. It got to such a point that I block him on all social media and ignored his text messages.”

“He still tries texting me to this day with messages such as “miss you”, “can we talk” and “why are you ghosting me”. Like, take the hint.”

She Was Ready To Change States After The Third Date

“Yes. Met this girl through a mutual friend and was hitting it off really well in the early goings. We went on a few dates and I had already told her that I was moving out to California for grad school, mind you this was like 2 months in.”

“She says on the third date, “oh I’m gonna move to California with you.” She was nice and all but it’s not like we’d been dating for 2-3 years, we’d only gone on 3 dates. This was an immediate red flag.”
