I used to work with this guy I will call Steve but he couldn’t make up his mind if he wanted to date me or not mostly due to his insecurities and inexperience with women. He’s a burn victim with lots of scarring on his legs. After months of this I ended up dating someone else. About 7-8 months later Steve acts like he wants to be with me. Tells me I’m the only one who makes him feel attractive etc. I’m still attracted to Steve and my boyfriend was being a jerk. But I thought maybe we could work things out and I was afraid that Steve would only panic again. Steve acted like it was no big deal.
I left the boyfriend shortly thereafter because I discovered proof of his dishonesty. I left the job and Steve practically begged me to keep in touch. I called him a few weeks later and he practically hung up on me.
6 months late he shows up on AOL and we chat a couple of times a week for hours. About a month later I go to the old office Christmas Party. Steve comes up to me and is all friendly and then won’t speak to me the rest of the party and stops chatting.
4 months go by and Steve and I go to a movie. When I try talking to him about things he tells me that I should have told him how I felt about him 3 years ago. Umm… I did. At this point I’m pretty much done with the situation and I change my email. I’ve been as understanding as I can about his issues and insecurities.
I don’t hear from Steve for 8 months in fact I’m thinking I won’t ever hear from him again. He’s not on the chat once. Under a second AOL name I see Steve logging on and off rapidly numerous times all of a sudden last month. This week I log in under my old AOL name and Steve sends me a message saying he tried to email me this week but my email address is void. He then starts in on how he’s been dating someone since October and it’s serious and how he never felt “it” with me. I remain nice by saying things like “Wow that’s cool. I hope you’re happy.” all the while thinking why after not hearing from him for 8 months has he spent so much effort in trying to contact me. Utterly bizarre.
So guys (and gals) what is Steve’s deal? My galpals think he’s not over me but I’m leaning more toward him just being a spiteful turd. And what should I do? I know he has issues but still.
So I guess spacing to indent a new paragraph doesn’t work here. :smack:
