poppyfields Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Dont disagree it was tacky! Poor form, absolutely. Guy also has a gf which adds to tackiness. But who knows, perhaps your ex put him up to it as some sort of "test" OR more likely he was simply drunk and as such chose to behave like an a-hole. People do some really stupid shyt when drunk. The way I read it, HE started it and you played back. You didn't "bait" him, wrong word. Just having some silly flirty fun, as was he. 💛 1 Link to post Share on other sites
poppyfields Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 That's one reason why I never date friends of my ex's. Friends talk. Dont think they don't share info about you, cause they do. I have 5 brothers and have witnessed it. And somehow, what you say and do is always gonna get back to the ex, for me would I find that immensely creepy and even violating. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for mentioning this. You’re the first person who did but it’s one of the thoughts that I had. Because it was so aggressive from the get-go and he was still trying the next day. I’m not going to lie to you, I threw away the edibles that he gave me because I had the thought that my ex may have been trying to poison me hahaha . I’m only half-joking about that … Also ngl it kind of annoyed me how some twisted the whole scenario around on me. Like, you weren’t there. I didn’t “bait him first” or whatever they’re on about and seriously the stuff about how it’s my responsibility to manage my exes’ emotions. Like it’s inconsiderate for me to date others after I move on. Are you serious 🧐 i’m too for you people I guess you must go to church Edited July 31, 2021 by Cookiesandough Link to post Share on other sites

I dated a ex’s friend quite seriously ( this ex is that ex) and he never told him anything while we were in the rship, but it was srs relationship from the get go( he proposed after a year and 1/2) but generally that may be true Link to post Share on other sites

Like it’s inconsiderate for me to date others after I move on. Are you serious 🧐 Yeah again, I didn't see it as you "baiting" him either, HE started it! Not sure how others could have read it that way, but perceptions are powerful and if someone "perceives" you in a certain way, that perception will carry over to everything you do... I've experienced it myself! In the outside world mostly but on forums like LS as well. It's extremely difficult to change someone's perception once it's formed, I don't even try anymore. Cookies, you're good in my book. A young single woman trying to navigate the scene. You've made mistakes, made some questionable choices as we ALL have! We live, we learn, we grow, we evolve. That's all we can do, it's all a journey. 😅 Edited July 31, 2021 by poppyfields 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Cookiesandough Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Thank you. Like 2 pages dedicated to how it’s my fault for starting it. Please explain to me how I “started” anything“? Finished it, maybe. How I’m some man stealing h*e lol I went to buy the stuff, he told me that he would give it but he needed to talk about some stuff about my ex boyfriend, he’s got some important stuff to say, and asked if he could buy me a drink. I said yes because I was curious, ran to the restroom and when got back it was complete Creepville. He said “the bartender said I was lucky to be here with you” I laughed it off. started ranting about his rship continued to laugh it off. I asked about how my ex was and he said he’s hurt what do I keep doing to these guys, I laughed it off. I’m thinking the whole time just give me my stuff. It’s only been about 20 minutes though. Then he says that he has an open rship that’s crappy and wants to take me to dinner at this local restaurant I suggested one time back when I was with my ex. I said Um okay, sure, you know my ex wouldn’t like that. He said yeah I know that is the problem. Then I started trolling him, but by then he deserved it for trolling me. Sorry. I didn’t describe the whole situation because it would be enough to say I didn’t start anything but apparently it wasn’t. Ya’ll amuse me. Got the stuff for free though, that’s all that matters at the end of the day Edited July 31, 2021 by Cookiesandough Link to post Share on other sites
Author Cookiesandough Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Ty poppy. Exactly, it’s harmless fun. Glad someone else can appreciate the simpler amusements in life 1 Link to post Share on other sites
jspice Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Nobody said you started it. But you egged him on. If that guy were here he would be chewed out for the scumbag he is. But he’s not posting here. You are. And people go by what you write. Do what you want. I’m sure other posters would love to entertain your harmless flirting in future. You didn’t get the opinions you wanted so now you’re playing the victim. If I wanted someone to gaslight me I’d go call one of my exes 🤣 Take care 😐 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Etc. Not that I am under any illusion that you care about the truth here at this point, but you can’t really blame me for being annoyed at having to correct blatantly false, off topic statements in my thread right. Yes. I egged him on later. Think I was pretty emphatic about that. Believe it or not, I wasn’t expecting anyone would pat me on the back for it. It actually could’ve been completely omitted and the thread would’ve stood on its own however, there’s no shame in my game and I found it amusing . 8/10 would do again You take care too, Jspice.

Alpacalia Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Cookies, way too much emotional energy spent on your part for an incident that occurred nearly a week ago. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But like I said, that’s not remotely what happened here so I don’t know why it’s being discussed here I think because you said this: On 7/30/2021 at 9:17 PM, Cookiesandough said: Oh yes and I’ve also “baited” guys with gf who HMU and ask me out/hit on me on social media then send the convo to the gf.

It’s not that deep Being hit on by a weird dude in a bar should have you running in the opposite direction. Especially by a purported friend of your ex. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
