Was he just toying with me?

[DermalPunch]

I asked a guy whose been flirting with me intensely if he had a girlfriend. He answered "no" while shaking his had and swatting his hands out to the side.

He jumped on phone immediately and disengaged? Was he just toying with me?

I may have overreacted and my own high hopes for the situation may have clouded my perception. He hasn't been teasing me. However... he is only 20. 🥴He thought I was around 25 26. I'm so f*****.

Turns out I overreacted. As usual. We both dig each other the same and will chill soon. The age thing threw us for a loop but we just have such a nice vibe. So we will hang out.

[Tstrbrainer]

I'm not sure, but looking like that suddenly hoping into phone might be suspicious.

[DermalPunch]

This happens every single time. I don't know why. It's so depressing. Everyone is so fake. I will go wallow for a bit and get back to the important things in life.

[Tstrbrainer]

I must also state that until I read this even I wasn't aware that it can be viewed as suspicious.

You must have guys around your age group talking to you right?
They can be more reliable if their past marriage wasn't a toxic one

[DermalPunch]

Honestly, no. There were two in past and they were even more toxic! I can't seem to get it right.

[Tstrbrainer]

What about dating apps or matrimony services?

[DermalPunch]

hell no!

[Tstrbrainer]

That's difficult.
Be careful with this boy, if you are looking for a serious relationship, just don't fall for him.

[DermalPunch]

no are you kidding me. i am not dealing with him at all! he doesn't like me.

[Tstrbrainer]

He likes you, not the way you want.

[DermalPunch]

Yes, fair enough but I don't flirt for fun.

[msc545]

ASK HIM - I DON'T READ MINDS ON HERE

[DermalPunch]

I did it. I took action. I was right. I was being played.

[msc545]

Good work finding out!

[DermalPunch]

I suppose.

[msc545]

You mess around with men, you assume the risk - right?

[DermalPunch]

yes. I wasn't messing around though. I don't mess with men because they are so... wolf-like.

[msc545]

I am more "cat-like" actually...

[DermalPunch]

are you flirting with me?

[msc545]

yes, sort of I guess. Not really intentional. Here:

"In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods. They have not forgotten this."

[DermalPunch]

so you want to be petted?

[msc545]

stroked, please.

[DermalPunch]

with a cat-o-nine tails.. you know for continuity.. lightly

[msc545]

threaten me with a good time!

[DermalPunch]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I only do good times!

[msc545]

let's do it!

[DermalPunch]

oh... i was just flirting.

[msc545]

me too

[msc545]

thanks for MHO

[msc545]

glad you got this worked out

[DermalPunch]

Yeah me too because I have so much other stuff to deal with.

[msc545]

I see. What?

[DermalPunch]

My business. My kids schooling. International administration. Travel plans. Maaaaaaad stuff.

[msc545]

I see - ok - one thing at a time.

[cdimples99]

he is toying with you for sure, how immature of him - please move on

[DermalPunch]

He wasn't. Glad I gave it some time.

[Jennz6]

Yes, he is teasing you

[DermalPunch]

Yeah, totally. It's fine. Been through this countless times before. Using me for an ego boost. I don't know why I'm such a target. But anyway, says more about him than me to fake liking someone for kicks

[Jennz6]

I’m glad everything worked out

[DermalPunch]

Thanks girl

[Alex8736]

he's playing you for a fool

[DermalPunch]

Yep! As usual.

[DermalPunch]

better at this stage than further on.

[Alex8736]

TBH if I am on a date the 1st thing i do is silence my phone to do not disturb status and hope the other person does the same. just saying

[DermalPunch]

no we weren't on a date. he runs a small grocery I shop at. He always puts away his phone when I come in. It's just after I asked him if he had a wkman he got all shook. He asked me before if I had a man.

[Alex8736]

do you?

[DermalPunch]

no i don't.

[Alex8736]

gotcha.

[DermalPunch]

what does tht mean?

[Alex8736]

means understood. sorry 😃

[DermalPunch]

so he was just toying with me then?

[Alex8736]

from how you explained it. yes he was

[DermalPunch]

ok. i guess i just have a bulleseye on my back. it's so frustrating. Guys complain girls don't show interest... give the shy guy a chance... and every single one of them is just using you for their ego. Shy guy is BS!

[Alex8736]

how old is he if you don't mind me asking?

[DermalPunch]

He is 23 but before you say case-closed this happened to me with 38 year olds, 34 year olds and a 44 year old. I have been focusing on myself. I mind my business. I just don't know what about me says desperate woman to f--- with? 🤬 I ignored this kid for this for a year and was just polite. He could barely contain himself when I asked him his name. It's whatever. Anyway... it's all good. I will get over it. Better now than ignore this tomfoolery and get mega played.

[Alex8736]

you are 100% correct

[DermalPunch]

correct about what?

[Alex8736]

ignoring it vs getting mega played
