Adventures in Dating (long) - People are crazy
A little over a month ago I met this guy in the grocery store. He is really tall and I asked him to get something off the back of the top shelf for me. We started chatting. He asked for my number before we checked out. Ok cute enough.
We went to dinner once. He was a gentleman, nice enough, etc. Just not my type after we talked some more. Ex. he's never voted and doesn't believe in it because of something related to the electoral college. I'm politically active and tried to explain the electoral college doesn't apply to local issues, school bonds, etc. But I believe in giving people a second chance.
Anyway we tried to schedule a second date, he cancelled because he had to work late. Then tired again, but he cancelled apparently because I'm too busy and didn't respond to his texts on a Friday night when I was doing charity work. So he cancels the morning off with this long tell off-y text about me being too busy to find a good guy and how I'm going to miss out.
Yesterday morning I get three texts for grocery store guy, detailing a supposed phone call from some guy (no name) claiming I've been dating him for a year (seriously single haven't gotten past a second date in over a year), have his kid (I don't have any kids and I'm pretty dang sure I'd know if I did), calling me Becca (not my name), etc. In part because I'm curious and this is just f-ing weird, I ask for the guy's name and number, no name to give but a number to some motel. Then grocery guy goes on about how I don't seem the type but he hopes I didn't involve him in anything.
Fast forward to the evening, I get a text from him "I miss you" to which I reply that's too bad but you decided I was too busy etc. Three hours later, another text "I still miss you"
OK WTF. 1) We went out on one date and didn't even kiss. 2) You basically ended it by cancelling twice and telling me I'm too busy, etc. when you knew my schedule was crazy up front. 3) Even if you hadn't proved tool enough that I had no interest after that point, WTF with making up crazy about some random guy calling you. How would he get your number? How would he know we had been out the once? Why would he call me the wrong name? Why doesn't any of this make you realize it must be about some other first date you've been on? Why send me this kind of crazy with blame in it about getting you involved in something? 4) Given the above, why do you think you miss me? You don't even know me. And why when I try to be nice about telling you to take your BSC else where do you not buy a clue.
I hope this made you laugh a little. If crazy cakes tries to contact me again I willl be blunt about telling him to lose my number and leave me alone.

Do you think maybe he got you mixed up with someone else (regarding the texts)?
Regardless, you dodged a bullet!
I completely agree about a dodged bullet.
I can half hope he's confused me with someone else, but he sent me another message tonight "Wanna go out?"
I just sent him fairly scathing tell off message, but it will also serve as notice should I need to document things for the future.
