Give Me MySpace
I had met this guy on Myspace and we had just been talking online and on the phone for a while. This guy was smart, intelligent, funny, and we actually knew a lot of the same people so that made me feel better. I was just looking for a friend but was open to the possibility that more could happen down the line.
The first red flag that should have made me cut all ties with him was when he called me after attending a family wedding. He told me that the JP was talking about how the couple being wed seemed to have a great bond etc. etc. and finished the story by saying: “When he said all that it reminded me of how you and I are.” I just laughed it off and tried to keep the conversation in the “friend zone.”
After a while, we decided to finally meet up at a coffee shop. As a safety net I told him after that I was just going to run some errands and then go home because I was a little under the weather. (I could always have a miraculous recovery when we met if we hit it off!) We sat and we talked and he kept touching my leg and arm when we talked. It was kind of too much touching for my liking and it felt creepy. I decided I wanted a change of venue and I told him I was off to the store for medicine and then home because my head was throbbing. He said “Oh, I’ll drive you.” For some reason, I said yes.
I barely talked to him in the car. During the car ride he was still touching me while we talked, and I was BEYOND annoyed. He also decided to get on the highway to go to a store that was down the road, just so we could have “more time to talk.” He kept asking if I wanted to go to his house to watch a movie. I kept saying I just wanted to go home and I started acting cold because I was sketched out. So then he busted out this GEM: “Well, I guess this is the end of our relationship.” I couldn’t get out of the car any faster when we got back to my car.
About a year later I had just started to date my now husband. One night he said “Hey, do you know someone named (MYSPACE BOYS NAME)?” And my face went white. My husband then said “He sent me a message on Myspace saying to stay away from you and that you would break my heart.”
I once met a guy on MySpace who was smart, intelligent, funny. We actually knew a lot of the same people so that made me feel better. I was looking for a friend but was open to the possibility of more down the line.
The first red flag – which I ignored – appeared when he called me after attending a family wedding. He told me that the Justice of Peace talked about how the couple being wed seemed to have a great bond etc. etc. He finished the story by saying: “When he said all that, it reminded me of how you and I are.” I just laughed it off and tried to keep the conversation in the “friend zone.”
After a while, we decided to finally meet up at a coffee shop. As a safety precaution, I told him that afterwards I had to run some errands and then head home because I was a little under the weather. I could always have a miraculous recovery if we hit it off! We sat and we talked. As we talked, he kept touching my arm over and over again. It was too much touching for my liking and felt creepy. I decided I wanted a change of venue and told him I was off to the store for medicine and then home because my head was throbbing.
“Oh, I’ll drive you,” he offered.
For some reason, I said yes.
I barely talked to him in the car. Yet, he still touched me while he talked, and I was now beyond annoyed. He also decided to get on the highway to go to a store that was down the road, just so we could have “more time to talk.”
He kept asking if I wanted to go to his house to watch a movie. I responded repeatedly by saying that I just wanted to go home. I started acting cold because I was totally turned out. So then he busted out this gem: “Well, I guess this is the end of our relationship.” I couldn’t get out of the car any faster when we got back to my car.
About a year later, I had just started to date my now-husband. One night, he asked, “Hey, do you know someone named (MySpace boy’s name)?” And my face went white. My husband then said “He sent me a message on MySpace saying to stay away from you and that you would break my heart.”
