Met up with a guy I knew a few years ago to catch up. Talked about all the normal stuff; naturally we started talking about women and he basically was telling me he was having oneitis for this one girl.
-They were friends for 3 years.
-They would do everything together: watching movies, getting drinks, go to concerts, comedy clubs
-Would text an average of 70 (!) text messages a day
-Nothing physical ever happened between them
-In the mean time she starts dating other guys.
-Started walking all over my friend. For instance, she was his "date" at a wedding and left after an hour to see her "other friends" and left him out to dry.
-They started skyping every day. My friend finally realizes he's acting like a boyfriend without the benefits of being one, so abruptly stops skype without telling her. She blows up his phone, keeps asking where he was, etc.
-Girl gets into another relationship with a dude.
-Drunk texts my friend that "there are no good guys in the world."
-Guy snaps, completely drops her
-My friend has begun to start the cycle with another girl. Hangs out with her for past 3 months, nothing physical, sees movies, has conversations over drinks, etc.
Now I've been in bad situations. But nothing like this. I'm sure there a lot in the community who can attest to experiences like this.
If nothing happens at max of 2 dates for me, I cut the girl off. If she is in a LTR, don't bother with her. It just wastes my time. At this point, it's so clear to me and mostly so easy to just stop things if I nip it in the bud in time.
But this guy here is just repeating his mistake all over again. I even tried to help him out, but are there some people who just don't want to help themselves?
