davpk10: Yea I feel bad tho....I never should have left her hanging like that...
Assets...I hear women talk about men e-mailing them for no reason at all and spew their hatred towards them. These women have never contacted these individuals but they just received these hateful e-mails out of the blue.
Assets52: On a different site many years ago a guy made the first contact. We chatted a couple of times online only. Then one day I initiated contact just to say hello and he replied with "GO BOTHER SOMEBODY ELSE WILL YA".
I guess because I never saw it coming, that comment hurt my feelings so badly I didn't get online and chat for a week or more.
Have you ever had someone online say something to hurt your feelings?
Ohh yes,, I contacted a guy and finally we met. He was very nice guy. And invited me to get together again. I liked him only as a friend, and he wanted more than just friends. So, we did not go out anymore. One day I sent him a message saying just "hello",, and he said,, the same,,, "don't bother me anymore",,, so I deleted him. I think all these guys are frustrated with so many negative emotions.
trulee01: The guy was a big looser.Rule#1 Never ever do or say anything that could hurt someone. That sounds like he was a real piece of s..work. You are much better off.
This happened a long time ago but I think if it happened today, it would still hurt my feelings.
I agree with you, why be so rude. Ignoring me would have gotten the same message across.
Assets52: He contacted me the first couple of times and we had good chats. So the third time I contacted him. It ended with that comment.

Has that ever happened to you?
No thank goodness. I have however had a friend block me from emailing and I never knew why. He continued to post here in the forums in the same threads but not directly to me. It was a bit awkward.

Sorry to hear that but it happened to me in real life. A guy I was seeing phoned me and asked me to phone him in ten minutes and I did--I phoned and he started yelling at me to not bother him again--I didn't and when his audience left (I found out the boys were there), he phoned me back and the phone is still ringing after 2 years.
Yes I have; just recently too. We had written to each other for awhile about things of common we like to do and our lives and hoping to meet each other. then one day he said we had nothing in common. I was angry and feelings hurt. Lousy you know what! But it happens so take what they may give you and give but what you can. Don't give up though. there are good guys.

perhaps...
he felt like the victim... he perceived you to be intimidating and/or aloof... he took your contact as an opportunity to be intimidating and/or aloof...
People like this loath dealing with rejection and the fact that you contacted him was a precise moment and opportunity for him to take back the control he perceived to have lost when you knocked him back ... gave him back a sense of so called control... truth be known it would have had nothing to do with you and everything to do with his own issues of control or a lack of it...
Ignoring me would have gotten the same message across. This has me thinkin' maybe you handle aloof far better than intimidation but both cause pain and/or conflict... JMO
Take charge of you and only accept those who show respect into your heart... the rest are people who don't deserve your pain... he is your teacher in this... be a good student and learn to reclaim your self respect now and say you have the right to say no... he didn't respect you for that!!
Similar thing happened to me just days ago...
I contacted a local man on this site (no pic but liked write up) who apparently remembered me from another site (perhaps write up is different on this site) don't know yet lol... anyway... he asked me if I was one of them players...
I asked, how does not adding you to my contacts on the other site make me a player??... I then got an email back claiming I had impressed with my knowing how to express myself lol... I think it was more like I know who I am and will stand in my truth... so their you go...
trust and respect yourself my sweet!! you have the right to say no!!
