I HATE MEN

I met this guy about a year ago. He was beautiful, and kind, and artistic. He was the type of guy I could have an extremely open minded conversation with. We started dating about a month after we met, and it was bliss. Like my own little piece of heaven. He’d even told me he loved me.  Unfortunately, I made the mistake of falling into the arms of another man. I admitted to it right away, and apologized for it. I had said something like “we’re going to break up,” or something like that, and he thought I was dumping him. I was ready to talk about the horrible mistake I’d made, but instead of talking things out like a mature adult, he simply replied “whatever,” and I saw nothing of him for 3 months.

I’m an actress, and I was in a play at the time, and most of my friends, that were in the play as well, were friends with this guy, so naturally he came to see the show. Afterward, he snuck back to the dressing rooms and tapped on the door. I wasn’t sure who he was talking to, but, since no one else was around, it had to be me. I made my way to the door, and said “Are we friends again?” he confirmed our new friendship and embraced me. That night he sent me a long text telling me how when he saw me on stage, he realized why he’d fallen in love with me. Being the silly little ninny noddle that I am, I decided to start seeing him again. Everything was good for a while, but not quite the same, and that hurt a little. Anyway, after a while, he decided that we should break up. He didn’t say why, but I assumed it was because he was afraid of getting his heart broken again; which is understandable.

We remained friends, although no one looking on would call us friends. Everyone could see the chemistry between us, and, instead of ignoring these things, or simply laughing, he took my hand or put his arm around me when people were around. He often called me sexy, and took me out on dates, and bought me things, but then the next day if I were to confront him, he would mumble something about it not meaning anything, or deny it, and then walk away.

Of course I understand that after my being unfaithful he wouldn’t want to see me again, that’s completly reasonable, but he knows how I feel about him, and should not keep me on a string. He claims he’s not into me, and yet he talks about how he’s going to travel the world and bring me with him, and he does the other things I listed previously!

Date me, or don’t date me, but don’t tell me one thing and then show me another. As my user name clearly states; Men suck, simple as that.
