I’m trying to be very cool-headed with all of this. But I just don’t feel like I can be anymore.

Geez. This sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I can only imagine the emotions that you have right now. I think that you are a fantastic parent. You listened to your son, talked to him and your husband, and you are being supportive with your child. I think that makes you a wonderful parent. I hope that you can…

Hi all.

Yeah. I had a big talk with my mom about this, and I decided I’m not going back to the game shop. I got mansplained to, told that he is “just socially awkward,” and that he is the first person people go to when something is wrong. Yep.

Well, I am in fact a continent away from you at least (and an ocean). I’m in the U.S.! Such a bummer! I’d love to find a secondary chill set of people nearby who like to game.

This is amazing! Thanks for the link. I’l definitely add this to my phone. This seems like a nice extra layer of safety.

Thanks so much. It has been tough, and I’m very frustrated (especially after I got a reply about some stuff today), but I’m dealing.

Oh yeah. I find that one to be especially hilarious. I hope you are having a better day today.

Sorry about her. She sounds like a pill! I definitely have met people like her, and they seem to act that way because they need people to see them as very important. It is all for self-esteem. You might just need to do all you can to just steer clear of her and not get into her games. She wants people to feel bad.…

Yay! I’m glad to hear that you are doing well! Those interviews are big! Good luck!

Exactly! He is using what some people call Schrodinger’s Date with you. If he does all the things that happen in a date, but he doesn’t have to call it that. He doesn’t want to hear the truth, and is hoping to keep this going. You need to just say that you aren’t interested. He may get pissed, but who cares? If he…

I’m so sorry you lost your baby. She looks like a sweetheart. That just really sucks.

Hey! Fellow crocheter here! And a pleb with my synthetic yarn.

Hey guys. So today is my update day from last week. I had talked about a dude (who I’m calling Steve) that was pretty much becoming a stalker.

Well, I don’t disagree with you that he is not a creep, or I wouldn’t be having such a problem. I’ve blocked his number, and refuse to talk to him face to face at this time. I’d like to not make a scene, however, I assume that a scene will in fact be made.

Yeah. I’m working on it. But I’m not going to lose out because someone thinks that I should be their girlfriend.

See, humor is great. It makes this suck less. And to imagine, I’m told how not funny I am all the time. :P I think people just haven’t seen my humor enough to get it.

I’ve also been thinking of this route as well. Either the whole “I’m queer (which is true), and I’m dating a dude” (less true, but I have my buds that could help, one even volunteered) may work, but then it brings back the idea that if I wasn’t coupled then I would totally date him. Which would never happen. I’d like…

Thanks for echoing similar actions. I was hoping to get some ideas.

I don’t want to take it to police action right now. I don’t have enough evidence to have the police take action(cause I deleted texts before it escalated). I may be able to talk to the police in a different fashion, as I know some officers. I just don’t want to use that yet.
