A Cautionary Tale

So. A while back.. I had been chatting with someone who appeared relatively normal. I'm always down to talk to people (usually). I've met some people in chat face to face.. and they've become family. Anyhoo..

We're texting.. talked on the phone once or twice.. whatev. Last phone convo we have.. he's giving me advice because I'd been talking to a guy locally that could turn into a potential dating scenario. According to him-- that guy only wanted me for the s*x.. I tell the guy that's not what I'm looking for..(turns out that's not what he was looking for and I never heard from him again.. thanks for that as$hole). Out of nowhere.. he (the chatter) continued to interrupt me every five seconds to tell me he likes me. I try telling him a story about a friend of mine.. again.. interrupting every five seconds.. asking why I'm not having the s*x with the friend (because according to him.. women and men cannot just be friends.. all they have to do is bone). This goes onto a conversation (brought up by him) as to why I don't have kids. I've been dealing with that my whole adult life from family.. "why aren't you married at your age? Why don't you have kids? You're a loser." Etc etc. so I told him I didn't want any. Response I got? "I like you. I'll get you pregnant. I'd have a kid with you. You'd be such a good mom and I want that for you. I want to be in your world." Keep in mind.. this is a complete and total stranger. Three hours later--We finally hang up. I go to bed and put my phone on silent (thank god I did). I woke up to 20 back to back text messages(several saying that I won't get d*CK for a while from the potential interest because of GT whatever) and 3 missed calls. I explicitly tell this person that there's zero chance for a romantic relationship.. and that behavior towards a stranger (which is what I am to him) is disturbing. End of the day- he's the victim and believes he did nothing wrong and crossed no boundaries or lines of social etiquette.

So why am I sharing this? They say be careful who you share your info with... and they say it for a damn good reason. I'm fairly intelligent (I mean.. 4.0 gpa in grad school while working full time and in honor society but I'm not gonna toot my own horn.. f*CK it..toot toot)-- but I'm saying this to warn others to prevent what happened to me to someone else... BE CAREFUL!!! People be crazy and obsessive. That's all.
 
thank you for your vulnerability and having the courage to post this to warn other users. I'm sure it wasn't easy to admit this, and I appreciate you sharing your experience to try to help other people. Sometimes people listen to their heart (and not head), and it could cause issues. Hugs to you, hun!
