Seems like a nice guy, well traveled at least. No red flags. But I get a lot of messages and after responding once or twice I kind of dropped the ball and stopped responding. And to be honest I never looked back.
But a few weeks later Max "winked" at me (which seems to be the equivalent of the Facebook poke) and sent me another message... and I sort of pity responded. I felt bad! He seemed okay, at least okay enough to buy me a drink. And maybe he was really cool in person. So I gave him my number.
The following Friday was my company holiday party. My lovely date Molly and I had a great time. Open bar, free food, and taxi vouchers provided. Around 9 or 10pm I get a "hey whats up" text message from Max.
I had had a few drinks by this time and was in a silly mood. I responded:
"is this a mass text to all your match girls?"I put my phone down for about fifteen minutes and pick it up the check the time. I have 5 text messages from Max.
"No... why?"
"What makes you think that?"
"Mia?!"
"Ok well I am crawling into bed"
"That is really a very serious accusation and I hope we can talk about the inaccuracies of it tomorrow. Goodnight Mia"All from a person I have not only never met, but never spoken to on the phone. Terrifying. I responded:
"I was kidding. I'm at my company holiday party. I've never met you..."Max texted me several times the following day - all with no response from me. You would think the kid would get a clue and naturally that would be the last of it.
This was about six weeks ago... I still get a Friday "hey whats up" text message EVERY WEEK from Max with no response from me since the holiday party incident. You would think he would have removed me from his "match girls" mass text group. I am contemplating asking him to.
But no more pity responses from me, that's for sure! YIKES! For now I'm sticking with Molly as my date.
