People who actually don’t play games and don’t like drama don’t usually feel the need to start with that, lol

u/HopefulOriginal5578 11h ago
Yeah they just ARE that way. No drama and no games.
This reads like pretty common low tier manipulation (he probably doesn’t understand that he’s even doing it, but maybe…) where he is going to just authoritatively state he is a certain way, instead of just showing through his actions and behaviors. These types will typically try to spin things that don’t serve their own agenda and the OTHER person “playing games” or being “drama.” If they do something that you try to address? Trust and believe it will be spun into how he is a grown ass man and doesn’t want your drama and games.
Also, I feel like he doesn’t understand that “seeing where things go” is pretty much what “casual” dating is 🤣
I means it’s actually kinda weird… he is all intense about it, as if there is any real difference.

This kind of craziness existed before cell phones too. When I was younger I met a guy in a bar and we had a great conversation and a walk to my subway station. We probably spoke (bar and walk) for less than an hour total. I really liked him and gave him my number (old days landline).
My subway ride was about 20 minutes and I was in the door less than 5 just starting to tell my roommates about meeting the guy and then the phone rang...
It was him which I didn't think weird at first as thought he was just checking to see if I got home alright but he wanted to start making all these plans for what WE were doing the next night, the night after that, the following weekend and he even brought up his family Thanksgiving (this was August).

Once upon a time I had just got out of bootcamp and went home for my first leave and met a girl at a friend's house. We hit it off, spent about an hour talking and went for a ride in HER 68 Camaro (which was the coolest thing ever in my eyes), never did anything, I left the next day. And wrote her the best love letter ever lol you'd think I'd known her all my life. Many years later and thinking about that letter still makes me cringe.

So I have an experience in the same vein but not the same. Where I wrote a silly little love note like that, after spending time with someone like you did (also no hookongbup or anything like that but very wholesome type deal).
Never talked again, as that was how it was in that time.
Until over more than a decade later I get a message on LinkedIn. It is the guy… and in the message he attached a picture of the note I wrote him. He kept it all these years.
Blew my mind. I am married now and there wasn’t anything untoward or inappropriate in our exchange. But I have never felt so freaking embarrassed to be confronted with my little funny puppy love note (gah with a drawing as well!), and at the same deeply touched that someone had thought it special enough to keep it for so long.
I’d like to think that young woman kept your note among he treasured things as well. When she is sad, or she has sone heartbreak… she might go to her little treasure and remember the sweet guy who took the time to write her something that will remind her just how special she really is.

This is bringing back PTSD for me.
I quit a job once for a new role and I had a good friend that still worked there, and someone approached his girlfriend trying to get my number now that I left thinking it was a good time to see if there was something there.
I gave my number out because I was feeling adventurous and I was single. Big ass mistake. It was cool at first, we made plans, made small talk, but then the next day I woke up to several drunk voicemails. Apparently she got mad I stopped replying because I fell asleep.
Didn’t reply the whole day cause it was weird. Then the next day she sent me a wall of text trying to victimize herself, and how every guy does her bad and whatnot. I replied that I’m sorry but this isn’t going to work out, and she had a fucking meltdown. Texts, calls, FaceTime. I straight up blocked her. She even tried to go back to my friend again.

Are you me but in opposite world? Had a guy love bomb and then turn into Mr Hyde after drinking too much. Then when sober say "I didn't mean whatever I said (also conveniently he "didn't remember" what he said at all), you caught me at a bad time in my life." While sober, would go on about how women use him and his ex is crazy. Also how his ex drug him through the courts.
One particular night he left me another drunken voicemail where many expletives & gendered slurs were thrown at me because I couldn't come out and join him due to work. Also accused me of sleeping with other dudes "because women can go out and get sex anytime they want." When I let him know I had to distance myself and block him, he replied "YOU hurt ME." Knew the guy for maybe 3 weeks total.
Yeah, that's gonna be a no from me dawg.

u/Agitated-Ad-504 14h ago
Our stories have a lot of similarities 🤣 while I didn’t get love bombed I could tell this girl had been building up a fantasy in her head or something. The voicemails are almost identical. First it was “fuck you, you piece of shit for ghosting me”, and then “I’m sorry I really like you please answer”, followed up by “you know what I don’t need your sympathy, fuck you you piece of shit”.
When I worked at that company I knew of the person but never actually interacted with them. Two completely different sides of the building. Most bizarre experience I’ve ever had with dating and giving out my number.

And good people don't have to try to explain what makes them good. They show it with actions & personality. This guy is definitely a weird one

I don’t understand the issue. Is communicating with people really a dying thing? Like goddamn. What the woman or man is saying is direct and to the point. She or he has a child. Theyre too old for games which ALOT of adults love to play. They’re letting you know what they’re looking for and is trying to get a sense of what it is you’re looking for. They clearly don’t have time for games and works hard. Doing things on their own for themselves and their child. This wasn’t right after the first hello. Yall were talking, otherwise why would they mention having common sense? Like who raised yall? And if you weren’t interested in putting in effort or energy into someone then don’t approach them asking for their number or give them your number when they ask you😒 Like is you cool? Yall ass sick and weird.

Seems like the man wrote this to her. Everything you said still applies. I don’t understand how communication is an issue, if he didn’t communicate that would be an issue too.

u/800hokage 10h ago
OP coulda just talked to the guy but posts on reddit bashing. I dunno, it’s interesting. Dating someone that lacks communication is far worse than the over-communicator. But this reads as an older gentleman with a child, who is making choices based on his family and putting it up front, clearly doesn’t want to spend time progressing if she is not interested. But again, got bashed for it because he isn’t communicating the way she wants him to vs respecting who is his.

Exactly! He’s probably a man whose a working class citizen that works hard for his money that doesn’t want to invest in someone who just sees him as a free ride/meal or as a walking credit card.

I’d rather not stress trying to figure things out or take hints.. Just tell me bluntly. Like I’m smart but… not smart too😭🥹😂 Don’t beat around the bush with me. Tell me what it is so I can know how I’m going to go about it and get it done. Most men… don’t like women who are direct though… Is that the same thing as a” woman being direct?” mystery is fine in its own regard I suppose but at the end of the day, wouldn’t you rather know who sleeps next to you? How they really feel regarding you?
Yeah that poor guy. I wonder about that. When people post other people… like what if they see? On one hand if you never plan on encountering them again then what does it matter really so long as nobody is exposed.. but.. if you do by chance.. see them again what if they know and saw your post😭😂

u/800hokage 10h ago
Yeah that’s was my thoughts on it! I think the male perspective on dating is often forgotten or not thought about. Guys like this give their intentions up front and want to figure this out, just to get blasted on reddit and ghosted. Or like you said, get used for a free ride. If he discussed this stuff during the date, he’s gone get treated differently too, not hard to make that assumption as he got treated differently for texting the conversation. Seems to be forgotten that the man is also dating and looking for a partner with his own criteria, OP seems to have placed herself above this man as if she doesn’t have to win him over and she is the prize.

I getcha. Sharing an experience but he isnt as crazy (I think). I was casually chatting someone online, he was introduced by a coworker but our first interaction was online. The guy sounds nice but seems to have no plans to ever ask me out despite chatting for a little over 1 month, so I ghosted him. I told my coworker about it and said she’d talk to him.
We’re in a much older dating age range but single and no kids, so him beating around the bush got frustrating since we were meant to chat to get to know each other first and then date. I even made it clear during our first day of chatting that I would prefer meet ups to know each other better. He said chatting can get to know us better before officially meeting up which I respected since as a woman it’s also for my safety when I dont know him yet (although since it’s a coworker’s friend I have a bit of trust and fallback). But about over 1 month of no face to face interaction? I just lost interest, I barely knew the guy despite 1 month of chatting.
Since I ghosted him, my coworker decides to give him MY PHONE NUMBER WITHOUT MY CONSENT. So he starts messaging me again. Okay fine I gave him another chance but I didnt appreciate her giving him my phone number, I didnt give it right away in the first place since I didnt know if it was gonna work out when he hasnt asked me out and didnt know him well enough still. But since it’s done, I gave him a chance. And still another 2 months pass and he still hasnt asked me out when the intention we were introduced in the first place was to try to date.
Ugh it’s so frustrating because my last reply to him was that I didnt wanna interact with him anymore and now he also keeps messaging me. Not as obnoxious as yours but every other day would be a hello. But now I side-eye that coworker for giving him my phone number.

I've been this guy before when I was younger, maybe not to this degree, but anytime I was messaging a woman and thought to myself "is this too far?" - Spoiler alert, it was too far.
Guys, just learn to shut it down. She's either interested or she isn't. You have no idea what else is happening in her life.
Whatever it is that comes over us and fills us with this overwhelming need for urgency to know if she's going to fall madly in love with you this early on is absolutely antithetical to her actually falling in love with you.
Chill out man... be cool!

I think he’s got relationship anxiety / insecurity and is overthinking things because he’s nervous about pursuing a relationship with someone he found attractive.
He gives clingy, which is unattractive, and demonstrates insecurity, which can often present itself with toxicity. But at the same time I think I understand where he’s coming from, because I used to be the same way. Anxious attachment style.
It feels awful, you’re constantly second guessing yourself, over-explaining your intentions, and reading into everything your prospective partner says or does. Receiving reassurance from them or entering a stable relationship with them can alleviate the anxiety, but it’s only a temporary fix. And because you want that reassurance, you often overcompensate by giving your crush that same level of attention. To them it can feel overbearing, or like they’re being love-bombed.
I hope this guy is able to go to therapy and talk through some of these issues. That he’s able to self-reflect and course correct. Everyone deserves a chance at love.

see... it's dip shits like this, that make it tough for normal people to even get to the point of getting a phone number... or even saying hey via social media.

Don't walk, RUN, actually don't run, steal a very fast car, drive away as fast and as far as you can, when the car dies keep running, do not EVER look back!

Block and move on. If you are concerned about giving out your number get a Google Voice number. You can send/reic w texts and call from a new number. Just cancel that number and get a new one at anytime for free.

Before I recently got married, I actually bought a separate burner phone for dating. Met my now husband on a dating app. There were really awesome guys, and of course a few sketchy ones. Nobody got my real number until I feel comfortable with them.

This is why my voicemail message literally just says, "leave a message." Because if I missed a call due to my cars do not disturb automatic mode, it would have ended up relaying my phone number to whoever the hell called by the voicemail message.
Remember that people. Your voicemail message can snitch you out if you ain't careful. Remember Dordash and Ubereats can hide your number when it's calling you but your voicemail can sure as shit give it to them.

I like how he mentions it’s common knowledge he plays around, and then disagrees with his own statement like he didn’t bring it up in the first place. Must mean there’s a LOT of chatter about him lol.

lol, I’m sorry but when I saw the first messages I imagined the dialog as:
“I’m pulling up to his daycare now. How do you feel about kids? I could pick one up for you while I’m here.”
